      The author proves that nonalternating torus knots are homologically thick. Moreover, he shows that the number of full twists of the torus knot can be reduced without changing a certain part of its homology, and consequently, stable homology of torus knots exists, as conjectured by \textit{N. M. Dunfield, S. Gukov} and \textit{J. Rasmussen} [Exp. Math. 15, No. 2, 129--159 (2006; Zbl 1118.57012)]. Since the long exact sequence in homology is the main tool in the proof, the same approach is applied to Khovanov-Rozansky \(sl(n)\) homology, and the analogous stability properties of \(sl(n)\) homology of torus knots, conjectured in the paper above, are obtained.
