Topology Reading Seminar

Speaker:

Topic: 
"Khovanov homology of the figure eight knot"

Abstract:
I will go through the computation of Khovanov homology for the Figure-8 knot. I will start out by reminding everybody of some technical details pointed out by Pravakar and then will use some cool techniques introduced by Bar-Natan in his paper to efficiently compute the homology for Figure-8 knot.
