A COLORED sl(N)-HOMOLOGY FOR LINKS IN S 3
نویسنده
چکیده
Fix an integer N ≥ 2. To each diagram of a link colored by 1, . . . , N , we associate a chain complex of graded matrix factorizations. We prove that the homopoty type of this chain complex is invariant under Reidemeister moves. When every component of the link is colored by 1, this chain complex is isomorphic to the chain complex defined by Khovanov and Rozansky in [17]. We call the homology of this chain complex the colored sl(N)-homology and conjecture that it decategorifies to the quantum sl(N)polynomial of links colored by exterior powers of the defining representation.

Matrix Factorizations and Colored Moy Graphs
We assign matrix factorizations to colored MOY graphs, which gives a natural generalization of the graph homology defined by Khovanov and Rozansky in [8]. We also discuss some basic properties of this generalization. This work is a first step toward categorification of the colored MOY invariant, which is equivalent to quantum sl(N)-invariant for links whose components are colored by exterior pr...
متن کامل2 00 3 Categorifications of the colored Jones polynomial
The colored Jones polynomial of links has two natural normalizations: one in which the n-colored unknot evaluates to [n + 1], the quantum dimension of the (n + 1)-dimensional irreducible representation of quantum sl(2), and the other in which it evaluates to 1. For each normalization we construct a bigraded cohomology theory of links with the colored Jones polynomial as the Euler characteristic.
متن کاملKhovanov-rozansky Homology of Two-bridge Knots and Links
We compute the reduced version of Khovanov and Rozansky’s sl(N) homology for two-bridge knots and links. The answer is expressed in terms of the HOMFLY polynomial and signature.
متن کاملEquivariant sl(n)-link homology
For every positive integer n we construct a bigraded homology theory for links, such that the corresponding invariant of the unknot is closely related to the U(n)-equivariant cohomology ring of CP; our construction specializes to the Khovanonv-Rozansky sln-homology. We are motivated by the “universal” rank two Frobenius extension studied by M. Khovanov in [11] for sl2-homology.
متن کاملThe Colored Jones Polynomials and the Simplicial Volume of a Knot
We show that the set of colored Jones polynomials and the set of generalized Alexander polynomials defined by Akutsu, Deguchi and Ohtsuki intersect non-trivially. Moreover it is shown that the intersection is (at least includes) the set of Kashaev’s quantum dilogarithm invariants for links. Therefore Kashaev’s conjecture can be restated as follows: The colored Jones polynomials determine the hy...
