Link splitting deformation of colored Khovanov-Rozansky homology

From MaRDI portal





The last two decades have witnessed the introduction of powerful homological invariants of knots, links, braids, and tangles, which are connected to classical quantum invariants through a decategorification relationship [\textit{M. Khovanov}, Duke Math. J. 101, No. 3, 359--426 (2000; Zbl 0960.57005); \textit{M. Khovanov} and \textit{L. Rozansky}, Fundam. Math. 199, No. 1, 1--91 (2008; Zbl 1145.57009); Geom. Topol. 12, No. 3, 1387--1425 (2008; Zbl 1146.57018); \textit{R. Rouquier}, ``Categorification of the braid groups, Preprint, \url{arXiv:math/0409593}; Contemp. Math. 406, 137--167 (2006; Zbl 1162.20301)]. These invariants are best understood in the context of differential graded categories, each tangle diagram \(\boldsymbol{D}\) being assigned a chain complex \(\mathcal{Z}(\boldsymbol{D})\) over an additive category, Reidemeister moves between such diagrams being assigned specific chain maps that are invertible up to homotopy, and movies between diagrams that encode certain braid/tangel cobordisms being assigned (generally noninvertible) chain maps that are natural, up to homotopy [\textit{C. Blanchet}, J. Knot Theory Ramifications 19, No. 2, 291--312 (2010; Zbl 1195.57024); \textit{C. L. Caprau}, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 8, No. 2, 729--756 (2008; Zbl 1148.57016); \textit{D. Clark} et al., Geom. Topol. 13, No. 3, 1499--1582 (2009; Zbl 1169.57012); \textit{M. Ehrig} et al., Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 117, No. 5, 996--1040 (2018; Zbl 1414.57010); \textit{B. Elias} and \textit{D. Krasner}, Homology Homotopy Appl. 12, No. 2, 109--146 (2010; Zbl 1210.57014)]. This paper is concerned with instances of this higher structure. This paper shows how the action of the monodromy algebra \(\mathrm{HH}_{\ast }(A_{\mathcal{Z}})\) on \(\mathcal{Z}(\boldsymbol{D} )\) allows of constructing \textit{link splitting deformations} of \(\mathcal{Z}(\boldsymbol{D})\), working explicitly with triply-graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology in the colored case as an extension of the uncolored case in [\textit{E. Gorsky} and \textit{M. Hogancamp}, Geom. Topol. 26, No. 2, 587--678 (2022; Zbl 1508.14005)]. The synopsis of the paper goes as follows. \begin{itemize} \item[\S 2] recalls background on symmetric functions, including the formalism of symmetric functions in the difference of two alphabets and Haiman determinants [\textit{M. Haiman}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 14, No. 4, 941--1006 (2001; Zbl 1009.14001)]. \item[\S 3] introduces categorical background, setting up conventions for gradings and homological algebra necessary for the next section. \item[\S 4] introduces a dg 2-category of curved complexes of singular Soergel bimodules, defining \textit{curved Rickard complexes} as certain special 1-morphisms, establishing the following theorem. Theorem. The Rickard complex \((\beta_{b})\) associated to a colored braid \(\beta_{b}\) admits a deformation in a curved complex \(\mathcal{Y} C(\beta_{b})\) with \(\Delta e\)-curvature. Such a deformation is unique, up to homotopy equivalence. \item[\S 5] uses curved complexes of singular Soergel bimodules to construct deformed, colored, triply-graded link homology, establishing that the homology \(\mathcal{Y}H_{\mathrm{KR}}(\boldsymbol{L})\) is an invariant of a framed, oriented, colored link \(\boldsymbol{L}\) up to isomorphism of \(\mathbb{Q}\left[ p_{c,i},v_{c,j}\right] \)-modules. \item[\S 6] obtains a curved colored skein relation [\textit{M. Hogancamp} et al., ``A skein relation for singular Soergel bimodules, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2107.08117}]. \item[\S 7] investigates a canonical closed morphism \(\Sigma_{a,b} \in\mathrm{Hom}_{\overline{\mathcal{V}}_{a,b}}^{0}(\mathcal{V} \mathsf{FT}_{a,b},\boldsymbol{1}_{a,b})\) that is the colored analog of the link splitting map from [\textit{M. Hogancamp} et al., ``A skein relation for singular Soergel bimodules, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2107.08117}]. \item[\S 8] speculates on the extension of the conjecture in [\textit{E. Gorsky} et al., Adv. Math. 378, Article ID 107542, 116 p. (2021; Zbl 1459.57018)] to the colored setting, culminating in Conjecture 8.15. \item[\S 9] establishes the above conjecture for the positive Hopf link, using the explicit description of the splitting map from \S 7.2. \item[\S 10] studies the link splitting properties of the deformed colored triply-graded link homology. \item[The appendix] is concerned with some Hom-space computations. \end{itemize}
