Monoidal 2-categories from foam evaluation
Leon J. Goertz, Laura Marino, Paul Wedrich
In this paper we describe a general framework for constructing examples of locally linear semistrict monoidal 2-categories covering many examples appearing in link homology theory.…

Khovanov homology and refined bounds for Gordian distances
Lukas Lewark, Laura Marino, Claudius Zibrowius
From Khovanov homology, we extract a new lower bound for the Gordian distance of knots, which combines and strengthens the previously existing bounds coming from Rasmussen invarian…

Computing the symmetric -homology
Laura Marino
The symmetric -homologies, introduced by Robert and Wagner, provide a categorification of the Reshetikhin--Turaev invariants corresponding to symmetric powers of t…
