Abstract
Tom Leinster recently introduced a polynomial invariant of graphs called the magnitude. In this talk I will define the "magnitude homology" of graphs. It categorifies the magnitude in the same sense that Khovanov homology categorifies the Jones polynomial. I will explain how to lift certain properties of the magnitude to properties of homology, and I will explain some Khovanov-ish features of the theory. This is joint work with Simon Willerton.
