On bordered theories for Khovanov homology

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:2398829)




Abstract: We describe how to formulate Khovanov's functor-valued invariant of tangles in the language of bordered Heegaard Floer homology. We then give an alternate construction of Lawrence Roberts' Type D and Type A structures in Khovanov homology, and his algebra mathcalBGamman, in terms of Khovanov's theory of modules over the ring Hn. We reprove invariance and pairing properties of Roberts' bordered modules in this language. Along the way, we obtain an explicit generators-and-relations description of Hn which may be of independent interest.
