Representations of associative Artinian rings (16G10) Representations of Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras, algebraic theory (weights) (17B10) Quantum groups (quantized enveloping algebras) and related deformations (17B37) Homology theories in knot theory (Khovanov, Heegaard-Floer, etc.) (57K18) Topological quantum field theories (aspects of differential topology) (57R56)

Abstract: We combinatorially describe the $2$-category of singular cobordisms, called (rank one) foams, which governs the functorial version of Khovanov homology. As an application we topologically realize the type $mathrmD$ arc algebra using this singular cobordism construction.

Review text

Summary: We combinatorially describe the 2-category of singular cobordisms, called (rank one) foams, which governs the functorial version of Khovanov homology. As an application we topologically realize the type D arc algebra using this singular cobordism construction.
