Involutive Khovanov homology and equivariant knots II

Taketo Sano

In the spirit of Bar-Natan's formulation of Khovanov homology for tangles, we extend the framework of involutive Khovanov homology to involutive tangles. This enables a divide-and-…

A -ification of Khovanov homology

Taketo Sano

Motivated by the -ification of HOMFLY--PT homology by Gorsky and Hogancamp, and the -action of Gorsky, Hogancamp, and Mellit, we construct -ifications of Kho…

Cobordism maps in Khovanov homology and singular instanton homology I

Hayato Imori, Taketo Sano, Kouki Sato +1

Khovanov homology and singular instanton Floer homology are both functorial with respect to link cobordisms. Although the two homology groups are related by a spectral sequence, di…

Cobordism maps in Khovanov homology and singular instanton homology II

Hayato Imori, Taketo Sano, Kouki Sato +1

This paper is a continuation of our previous work, where we defined an embedded cobordism map on the instanton cube complex that recovers the cobordism maps both in Khovanov homolo…

A diagrammatic approach to the Rasmussen invariant via tangles and cobordisms

KeeTaek Kim, Taketo Sano

We introduce a diagrammatic approach to Rasmussen's -invariant, based on Bar-Natan's reformulation of Khovanov homology for tangles and cobordisms. This method enables a local c…

On the slice-torus invariant from -equivariant Seiberg--Witten Floer cohomology

Nobuo Iida, Taketo Sano, Kouki Sato +1

We show that Iida--Taniguchi's -valued slice-torus invariant cannot be realized as a linear combination of Rasmussen's -invariant, Ozsváth--Szabó's -inva…
