Abstract

A periodic link, is link in S3S^3 with action of Zp\mathbb{Z}_p by rotation with 2π/p2\pi/p around a fixed unknot UU. The equivariant Khovanov homology of periodic links has been studied in \cite{BP17}. We prove that the equivariant Khovanov homology for periodic links is functorial under equivariant cobordisms. Furthere more, we show that equivariant ribbon concordances induce a split injection on equivariant Khovanov homology.
