Abstract: In this paper we show that the non-alternating torus knots are homologically thick, i.e. that their Khovanov homology occupies at least three diagonals. Furthermore, we show that we can reduce the number of full twists of the torus knot without changing certain part of its homology, and consequently, we show that there exists stable homology of torus knots conjectured by Dunfield, Gukov and Rasmussen in cite{dgr}. Since our main tool is the long exact sequence in homology, we have applied our approach in the case of the Khovanov-Rozansky ($sl(n)$) homology, and thus obtained analogous stability properties of $sl(n)$ homology of torus knots, also conjectured in cite{dgr}.

Review text

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.
