On the Hilbert Polynomial of the HOMFLYPT Homology

Abstract

We prove that the degree of the Hilbert polynomial of the HOMFLYPT homology of a closed braid $B$ is $l-1$, where $l$ is the number of components of $B$. This controls the growth of the HOMFLYPT homology with respect to its polynomial grading. The Hilbert polynomial also reveals a link polynomial hidden in the HOMFLYPT polynomial.
