      Khovanov homology is a bigraded cohomology theory associated to the state-sum expansion of the Kauffman bracket of knots or links which categorifies the Jones polynomial in the sense that the Jones polynomial can be recovered from Khovanov homology by taking the Euler characteristic. Various generalizations of Khovanov homology have been defined and studied in recent years. In this paper a sequence of bigraded homology theories is constructed with the \(\text{sl}(n)\) link homology (categorifying the HOMFLYPT and \(\text{sl}(n)\) polynomial invariants, generalizing Khovanov homology) as a special case.
