abstract
We provide the first complete computations of colored sl(N) homology for a nontrivial knot. In doing so, we show that the colored sl(N) homology of the trefoil labeled by an exterior power of the defining representation is isomorphic to the cohomology of a closed manifold naturally associated to the trefoil. This manifold is the set of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of the complement of the trefoil to SU(N) that send meridians to a particular conjugacy class depending on the label. We also provide complete computations and analogous isomorphisms for the first nontrivial link, the Hopf link.

Link in $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^3$ and the Topological Vertex
