Curved Rickard complexes and link homologies (Q827409)

A Rickard complex is a certain complex of bimodules which, in the context of BGG category \(\mathcal{O}\) and, more generally, categorified quantum groups, generates a categorical braid group action. The paper under review studies certain deformations of Rickard complexes, which are called curved Rickard complexes in the paper. This gives rise to deformations of various types of link homologies and allows one to conceptually connect such deformations to the classical (undeformed) versions of these homology theories.
