Legendrian links and the spanning tree model for Khovanov homology
The Khovanov homology has led to many interesting new developments in knot theory and related fields. See Lee [4, 5], Ng [6], Plamenevskaya [7] and Rasmussen [8] for examples. It is still very difficult to compute the Khovanov homology in general. Recently, A Champanerkar and I Kofman [2] and, independently, S Wehrli [11] constructed a spanning tree model for the Khovanov homology based on the ...
متن کاملSpanning Trees and Khovanov Homology
The Jones polynomial can be expressed in terms of spanning trees of the graph obtained by checkerboard coloring a knot diagram. We show there exists a complex generated by these spanning trees whose homology is the reduced Khovanov homology. The spanning trees provide a filtration on the reduced Khovanov complex and a spectral sequence that converges to its homology. For alternating links, all ...
متن کاملOdd Khovanov Homology Is Mutation Invariant
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 invariant over Z, and therefore that Khovanov homology is mutation invariant over Z/2Z. We also establish mutation invariance for the entire Ozsváth-Szabó spe...
متن کاملMonopole Floer Homology, Link Surgery, and Odd Khovanov Homology
Monopole Floer Homology, Link Surgery, and Odd Khovanov Homology Jonathan Michael Bloom We construct a link surgery spectral sequence for all versions of monopole Floer homology with mod 2 coefficients, generalizing the exact triangle. The spectral sequence begins with the monopole Floer homology of a hypercube of surgeries on a 3-manifold Y , and converges to the monopole Floer homology of Y i...
متن کاملWhen the Theories Meet: Khovanov Homology as Hochschild Homology of Links
We show that Khovanov homology and Hochschild homology theories share common structure. In fact they overlap: Khovanov homology of a (2, n)-torus link can be interpreted as a Hochschild homology of the algebra underlining the Khovanov homology. In the classical case of Khovanov homology we prove the concrete connection. In the general case of Khovanov-Rozansky, sl(n), homology and their deforma...
