Hyperbolic Knots and Torsion in Khovanov Homology

Abstract: In this note, we show that if there is a knot in

S^{3}

having

m a t h b b Z_{m}

torsion in its Khovanov homology, then there are infinitely many hyperbolic knots and infinitely many prime satellite knots having

m a t h b b Z_{m}

torsion in their Khovanov homology. As an application, we give the first known examples of hyperbolic knots and links with odd (and other non-

m a t h b b Z_{2}

torsion) in their Khovanov homology.
