Torsion in Khovanov homology of semi-adequate links

Józef H. Przytycki, Radmila Sazdanović (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The goal of this paper is to address A. Shumakovitch's conjecture about the existence of ℤ₂-torsion in Khovanov link homology. We analyze torsion in Khovanov homology of semi-adequate links via chromatic cohomology for graphs, which provides a link between link homology and the well-developed theory of Hochschild homology. In particular, we obtain explicit formulae for torsion and prove that Khovanov homology of semi-adequate links contains ℤ₂-torsion if the corresponding Tait-type graph...

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...

Torsion in graph homology

Laure Helme-Guizon, Józef H. Przytycki, Yongwu Rong (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Khovanov homology for knots has generated a flurry of activity in the topology community. This paper studies the Khovanov type cohomology for graphs with a special attention to torsion. When the underlying algebra is ℤ[x]/(x²), we determine precisely those graphs whose cohomology contains torsion. For a large class of algebras, we show that torsion often occurs. Our investigation of torsion led to other related general results. Our computation could potentially be used to predict the...

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...

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

S. Dragotti, G. Magro, L. Parlato (2006)

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.

Introduction to the basics of Heegaard Floer homology

Bijan Sahamie (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

This paper provides an introduction to the basics of Heegaard Floer homology with some emphasis on the hat theory and to the contact geometric invariants in the theory. The exposition is designed to be comprehensible to people without any prior knowledge of the subject.

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.

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...

A note on product structures on Hochschild homology of schemes

Abhishek Banerjee (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We extend the definition of Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a scheme over a commutative ring k to define the Hochschild homologies HH⁎(X/S) and cyclic homologies HC⁎(X/S) of a scheme X with respect to an arbitrary base scheme S. Our main purpose is to study product structures on the Hochschild homology groups HH⁎(X/S). In particular, we show that H H ⁎ ( X / S ) = ⨁ n ∈ ℤ H H ₙ ( X / S ) carries the structure of a graded algebra.

A faithful linear-categorical action of the mapping class group of a surface with boundary

Robert Lipshitz, Peter Ozsváth, Dylan P. Thurston (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We show that the action of the mapping class group on bordered Floer homology in the second to extremal spin c -structure is faithful. This paper is designed partly as an introduction to the subject, and much of it should be readable without a background in Floer homology.

On the geometry of polynomial mappings at infinity

Anna Valette, Guillaume Valette (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We associate to a given polynomial map from ℂ 2 to itself with nonvanishing Jacobian a variety whose homology or intersection homology describes the geometry of singularities at infinity of this map.
