On Khovanov homology and related invariants

Abstract: This paper begins with a survey of some applications of Khovanov homology to low-dimensional topology, with an eye toward extending these results to mathfraksl(n) homologies. We extend Levine and Zemke's ribbon concordance obstruction from Khovanov homology to mathfraksl(n) homology for ngeq2, including the universal mathfraksl(2) and mathfraksl(3) homology theories. Inspired by Alishahi and Dowlin's bounds for the unknotting number coming from Khovanov homology and relying on spectral sequence arguments, we produce bounds on the alternation number of a knot. Lee and Bar-Natan spectral sequences also provide lower bounds on Turaev genus.
