Geometric realization of the almost-extreme Khovanov homology of semiadequate links

We introduce the notion of partial presimplicial set and construct its geometric realization. We show that any semiadequate diagram yields a partial presimplicial set leading to a geometric realization of the almost-extreme Khovanov homology of the diagram. We give a concrete formula for the homotopy type of this geometric realization, involving wedge of spheres and a suspension of the projective plane.
