Knot Polynomials and Knot Homologies
This is an expository paper discussing some parallels between the Khovanov and knot Floer homologies. We describe the formal similarities between the theories, and give some examples which illustrate a somewhat mysterious correspondence between them.
متن کاملSurface Operators and Knot Homologies
Topological gauge theories in four dimensions which admit surface operators provide a natural framework for realizing homological knot invariants. Every such theory leads to an action of the braid group on branes on the corresponding moduli space. This action plays a key role in the construction of homological knot invariants. We illustrate the general construction with examples based on surfac...
متن کاملThe Superpolynomial for Knot Homologies
We propose a framework for unifying the sl(N) Khovanov-Rozansky homology (for all N) with the knot Floer homology. We argue that this unification should be accomplished by a triply graded homology theory which categorifies the HOMFLY polynomial. Moreover, this theory should have an additional formal structure of a family of differentials. Roughly speaking, the triply graded theory by itself cap...
متن کاملKnot Theory from a Chern - Simons Gauge Theory
A brief summary of the development of perturbative Chern-Simons gauge theory related to the theory of knots and links is presented. Emphasis is made on the progress achieved towards the determination of a general combinatorial expression for Vassiliev invariants. Its form for all the invariants up to order four is reviewed, and a table of their values for all prime knots with ten crossings is p...
متن کامل3d analogs of Argyres-Douglas theories and knot homologies
We study singularities of algebraic curves associated with 3d N = 2 theories that have at least one global flavor symmetry. Of particular interest is a class of theories TK labeled by knots, whose partition functions package Poincaré polynomials of the Sr-colored HOMFLY homologies. We derive the defining equation, called the super-A-polynomial, for algebraic curves associated with many new exam...
