Abstract

In recent work, Aganagic proposed a categorification of quantum link invariants based on a category of A-branes, which is solvable explicitly. The theory is a generalization of Heegaard-Floer theory from gl(1|1) to arbitrary Lie algebras. I will describe in the detail the two simplest cases: the su(2) theory, categorifying the Jones polynomial, and the gl(1|1) theory, categorifying the Alexander polynomial. I will give an explicit algorithm for computing link homologies in these cases. I will also briefly describe the generalization to other simple Lie algebras and to Lie superalgebras of type gl(m|n). This talk is based on work to appear with Mina Aganagic and Miroslav Rapcak.
