A whittled complex for the Khovanov homology of torus links

Carmen Caprau, Nicolle Gonzalez, Christine Ruey Shan Lee +1

We give an algorithm for reducing the number of generators of the Khovanov chain complex of the torus braid $f{t}_n^k=(\ddot{I}{ƒ}_1\ddot{I}{ƒ}_2\cdots \ddot{I}{ƒ}_{n-1}{)}^k$ on $n$ strands by applying Bar-Na…
