On Khovanov’s Categorification of the Jones Polynomial
The working mathematician fears complicated words but loves pictures and diagrams. We thus give a no-fancy-anything picture rich glimpse into Khovanov’s novel construction of “the categorification of the Jones polynomial”. For the same low cost we also provide some computations, including one that shows that Khovanov’s invariant is strictly stronger than the Jones polynomial and including a tab...
متن کاملCategorification of the Jones-wenzl Projectors
The Jones-Wenzl projectors pn play a central role in quantum topology, underlying the construction of SU(2) topological quantum field theories and quantum spin networks. We construct chain complexes Pn , whose graded Euler characteristic is the “classical” projector pn in the Temperley-Lieb algebra. We show that the Pn are idempotents and uniquely defined up to homotopy. Our results fit within ...

L. Kauffman introduced a graphical link invariant which is the normalized Jones polynomial [4][5]. It is well-known that the polynomial is derived from the fundamental representation of the quantum group Uq(sl2). Further, G. Kuperberg constructed a graphical link invariant associated with the fundamental representation of the quantum group Uq(sl3) [10]. H. Murakami, T. Ohtsuki and S. Yamada int...
متن کاملCategorification of the Dichromatic Polynomial for Graphs
For each graph and each positive integer n, we define a chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is equal to an appropriate nspecialization of the dichromatic polynomial. This also gives a categorification of n-specializations of the Tutte polynomial of graphs. Also, for each graph and integer n ≤ 2, we define the different one variable n-specializations of the dichromatic polynomials, a...

A categorification of a polynomial link invariant is an homological invariant which contains the polynomial one as its graded Euler characteristic. This field has been initiated by Khovanov categorification of the Jones polynomial. Later, P. Ozsváth and Z. Szabó gave a categorification of Alexander polynomial. Besides their increased abilities for distinguishing knots, this new invariants seem ...
