Khovanov Homology for Virtual Knots and Links
by
Louis H. Kauffman
University of Illinois at Chicago
Coauthors: Heather Dye and Aaron Kaestner

We show how to define integral Khovanov homology for virtual knots and links by using

a source-sink orientation on the projected link diagram. This gives an alternate apporach to the

method of Vassily Manturov.
