For each positive integer n the HOMFLY polynomial of links specializes to a one-variable polynomial that can be recovered from the representation theory of quantum sl(n). For each such n we build a doubly-graded homology theory of links with this polynomial as the Euler characteristic. The core of our construction utilizes the theory of matrix factorizations, which provide a linear algebra description of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules on isolated hypersurface singularities.

  1. Reductions in Khovanov-Rozansky operator formalism

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Khovanov-Rozansky invariants are recast as a bicomplex of local operators D and conjugations χ^(±), with nilpotency on closed diagrams allowing reductions that simplify the hypercube construction.
