The Khovanov homology of infinite braids
Abstract:
In this talk, I will show that the limiting Khovanov chain complex of any infinite positive braid categorifies the Jones-Wenzl projector, extending Lev Rozansky's work with infinite torus braids. I will also show a similar result for the limiting Lipshitz-Sarkar-Khovanov homotopy types of the closures of such braids. Extensions to more general infinite braids will also be considered. This is joint work with Gabriel Islambouli. [video]
