Abstract
Khovanov homology categorifies the Jones polynomial and does a whole bunch of things the Jones polynomial can’t. So it’s a sexy thing. In this talk we will remember how Khovanov works and then reinterpret it via sheaf theory. This then allows us to bring in ideas from (stable) homotopy theory. This is joint work with Paul Turner (Geneva).
