The homotopy theory of Khovanov homology

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Given an oriented link diagram we construct a spectrum whose homotopy type is a link invariant and whose homotopy groups are the Khovanov homology of the link. A key ingredient is the identification of unnormalised Khovanov homology with the derived functors of the inverse limit.
