Towards formalization of the soliton counting technique for the Khovanov–Rozansky invariants in the deformed ℛ-matrix approach

Abstract

We consider recently developed Cohomological Field Theory (CohFT) soliton counting diagram technique for Khovanov (Kh) and Khovanov-Rozansky (KhR) invariants [1,2]. Although the expectation to obtain a new way for computing the invariants has not yet come true, we demonstrate that soliton counting technique can be totally formalized at an intermediate stage, at least in particular cases. We present the corresponding algorithm, based on the approach involving deformed R-matrix and minimal positive division, developed previously in [3]. We start from a detailed review of the minimal positive division approach, comparing it with other methods, including the rigorous mathematical treatment [4]. Pieces of data obtained within our approach are presented in the Appendices. * ITEP, Moscow, Russia; anokhina@itep.ru

On supersymmetric interface defects, brane parallel transport, order-disorder transition and homological mirror symmetry

“…A categorification of Chern-Simons link invariants [74,75] opened a vast amount of opportunities for applications in both string theories [76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86] and pure mathematics [87][88][89][90][91][92] as well as their profound synthesis to discover underlying structures in relations between physics and geometry. Unfortunately, we are unable to cover literature for this popular topic even partially and indicate just few sources the reader could use to find a particular subject interesting for a concrete application.…”

Khovanov polynomials for satellites and asymptotic adjoint polynomials

“…The above properties of the polynomials probably arise from the categorified MOY relations [58] and semi-orthogonal decompositions for the full-twist complexes [59,48,60,61]. Moreover, certain avatars of representation theory of quantum groups (which underlies the R-matrix calculus) can be put in constructions for knot homologies [15,62,63].…”
