We define a wall-crossing morphism for Khovanov-Rozansky homology; that is, a map between the KR homology of knots related by a crossing change. Using this map, we extend KR homology to an invariant of singular knots categorifying the…

Sophisticated Khovanov-Rozansky (KhR) description of knot invariants in the fundamental representation can be reformulated in terms of bicomplex with a simple physical meaning. Namely, the counterintuitive matrix factorization is…

By analogy with algebraic geometry, we define a category of non-linear sheaves (quasi-coherent homotopy-sheaves of topological spaces) on projective toric varieties and prove a splitting result for its algebraic K-theory, generalising…

Symplectic Khovanov homology is an invariant of oriented links defined by Seidel and Smith and conjectured to be isomorphic to Khovanov homology. I define morphisms (up to a global sign ambiguity) between symplectic Khovanov homology…

We use a special kind of 2-dimensional extended Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs), so-called open-closed TQFTs, in order to extend Khovanov homology from links to arbitrary tangles, not necessarily even. For every plane diagram of…

We further study the symplectic Khovanov homology of Seidel and Smith and its generalization to even tangles. This homology theory is a conjectural geometric model for Khovanov homology. In this paper we uncover structures on symplectic…

A homological invariant of 3-manifolds is defined, using abelian Yang-Mills gauge theory. It is shown that the construction, in an appropriate sense, is functorial with respect to the families of 4-dimensional cobordisms. This construction…

We demonstrate that the equivariant unknotting number $\widetilde{u}(K)$ of a strongly invertible knot $K$ is bounded below by the $H$-torsion order $\widetilde{\mathrm{ord}}(K)$ of the involutive Bar-Natan homology…

In algebraic geometry, Gromov--Witten invariants are enumerative invariants that count the number of complex curves in a smooth projective variety satisfying some incidence conditions. In 2001, A. Givental and Y.P. Lee defined new…

We study the operational bivariant theory associated to the covariant theory of Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves, and prove that it has many geometric properties analogous to those of operational Chow theory. This operational…

We give chain homotopy maps of Khovanov-type link homology of a universal differential. The universal differential, discussed by Mikhail Khovanov, Marco Mackaay, Paul Turner and Pedro Vaz, contains the original Khovanov's differential and…

Bipartite calculus is a direct generalization of Kauffman planar expansion from $N=2$ to arbitrary $N$, applicable to the restricted class of knots which are entirely made of antiparallel lock tangles. Whenever applicable, it allows a…

We describe the first part of a gluing theory for the bigraded Khovanov homology with integer coefficients. This part associates a type D structure to a tangle properly embedded in a half-space and proves that the homotopy class of the type…

Let $H$ and $K$ be two complex inner product spaces with dim$(X)\geq 2$. We prove that for each non-zero additive mapping $A:H \to K$ with dense image the following statements are equivalent: $(a)$ $A$ is (complex) linear or…

Kashaev's invariants for a knot in a three sphere are generalized to invariants of a knot in a three manifold. A relation between the newly constructed invariants and the hyperbolic volume of the knot complement is observed for some knots…

We define several homology theories for central hyperplane arrangements, categorifying well-known polynomial invariants including the characteristic polynomial, Poincare polynomial, and Tutte polynomial. We consider basic algebraic…

We define a link homology theory that is readily seen to be both isomorphic to reduced odd Khovanov homology and fully determined by data impervious to Conway mutation. This gives an elementary proof that odd Khovanov homology is mutation…

We generalize our previous work on categorification of Kauffman bracket skein module of surfaces, by extending our homology to tangles in cylinders over surfaces, F x [0,1]. Our homology of 0-tangles and 1-tangles in D^3 coincides (up to…

To a smooth, compact, oriented, properly-embedded surface in the $4$-ball, we define an invariant of its boundary-preserving isotopy class from the Khovanov homology of its boundary link. Previous work showed that when the boundary link is…

Given a pointed 4-ended tangle $T \subset D^3$, there are two Khovanov theoretic tangle invariants, $\unicode{1044}_1(T)$ from [arXiv:1910.1458] and $L_T$ from [arXiv:1808.06957], which are twisted complexes over the Fukaya category of the…
