A 2-category of chronological cobordisms and odd Khovanov homology

Krzysztof K. Putyra (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We create a framework for odd Khovanov homology in the spirit of Bar-Natan's construction for the ordinary Khovanov homology. Namely, we express the cube of resolutions of a link diagram as a diagram in a certain 2-category of chronological cobordisms and show that it is 2-commutative: the composition of 2-morphisms along any 3-dimensional subcube is trivial. This allows us to create a chain complex whose homotopy type modulo certain relations is a link invariant. Both the original and...

Transverse Homology Groups

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We give, here, a geometric treatment of intersection homology theory.

Homology of representable sets

Marian Mrozek, Bogdan Batko (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We generalize the notion of cubical homology to the class of locally compact representable sets in order to propose a new convenient method of reducing the complexity of a set while computing its homology.

A computation in Khovanov-Rozansky homology

Daniel Krasner (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate the Khovanov-Rozansky invariant of a certain tangle and its compositions. Surprisingly the complexes we encounter reduce to ones that are very simple. Furthermore, we discuss a "local" algorithm for computing Khovanov-Rozansky homology and compare our results with those for the "foam" version of sl₃-homology.

Khovanov homology, its definitions and ramifications

Oleg Viro (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Mikhail Khovanov defined, for a diagram of an oriented classical link, a collection of groups labelled by pairs of integers. These groups were constructed as the homology groups of certain chain complexes. The Euler characteristics of these complexes are the coefficients of the Jones polynomial of the link. The original construction is overloaded with algebraic details. Most of the specialists use adaptations of it stripped off the details. The goal of this paper is to overview these...

Chewing the Khovanov homology of tangles

Magnus Jacobsson (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We present an elementary description of Khovanov's homology of tangles [K2], in the spirit of Viro's paper [V]. The formulation here is over the polynomial ring ℤ[c], unlike [K2] where the theory was presented over the integers only.

On the first homology of Peano continua

Gregory R. Conner, Samuel M. Corson (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that the first homology group of a locally connected compact metric space is either uncountable or finitely generated. This is related to Shelah's well-known result (1988) which shows that the fundamental group of such a space satisfies a similar condition. We give an example of such a space whose fundamental group is uncountable but whose first homology is trivial, showing that our result does not follow from Shelah's. We clarify a claim made by Pawlikowski (1998) and offer...

Khovanov-Rozansky homology for embedded graphs

Emmanuel Wagner (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For any positive integer n, Khovanov and Rozansky constructed a bigraded link homology from which you can recover the 𝔰𝔩ₙ link polynomial invariants. We generalize the Khovanov-Rozansky construction in the case of finite 4-valent graphs embedded in a ball B³ ⊂ ℝ³. More precisely, we prove that the homology associated to a diagram of a 4-valent graph embedded in B³ ⊂ ℝ³ is invariant under the graph moves introduced by Kauffman.

Torsion in one-term distributive homology

Alissa S. Crans, Józef H. Przytycki, Krzysztof K. Putyra (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The one-term distributive homology was introduced in [Prz] as an atomic replacement of rack and quandle homology, which was first introduced and developed by Fenn-Rourke-Sanderson [FRS] and Carter-Kamada-Saito [CKS]. This homology was initially suspected to be torsion-free [Prz], but we show in this paper that the one-term homology of a finite spindle may have torsion. We carefully analyze spindles of block decomposition of type (n,1) and introduce various techniques to compute their...
