On Khovanov's categorification of the Jones polynomial (Q1597784)

This paper contributes a lot to understand Khovanov's work on the categorification of the Jones polynomial [\textit{M. Khovanov}, Duke Math. J. 101, No.~3, 359-426 (2000; Zbl 0960.57005); A functor-valued invariant of tangles, Archiv. Math. QA/0103190)]. Furthermore, the author provides some computations of the Khovanov polynomial \(Kh(L)\) of a link projection \(L\), including one that shows that Khovanov's invariant is strictly stronger than the Jones polynomial. Finally, a table of the values of Khovanov's polynomial for all prime knots with up to 11 crossings completes the paper.
