A symmetric function lift of torus link homology

Abstract: Suppose

M

and

N

are positive integers and let

k = g c d (M, N)

,

m = M / k

, and

n = N / k

. We define a symmetric function

L_{M, N}

as a weighted sum over certain tuples of lattice paths. We show that

L_{M, N}

satisfies a generalization of Mellit and Hogancamp's recursion for the triply-graded Khovanov--Rozansky homology of the

M, N

-torus link. As a corollary, we obtain the triply-graded Khovanov--Rozansky homology of the

M, N

-torus link as a specialization of

L_{M, N}

. We conjecture that

L_{M, N}

is equal (up to a constant) to the elliptic Hall algebra operator

m a t h b f Q_{m, n}

composed

k

times and applied to 1.
