Khovanov Homology of Links Embedded in I-bundles
by
Jeffrey Boerner
University of Iowa
M. Asaeda, J. Przytycki and A. Sikora introduced a theory for links embedded in I-bundles. A new way to view their theory is introduced for I-bundles over orientable surfaces. The elements of the chain groups are surfaces rather than diagrams which gives the calculation of the theory a much more topological feel. This is done by borrowing ideas from D. Bar-Natans work involving Khovanov Homology for tangles and cobordisms.
