Colored quantum gl(2) homology of links

Colored gl(2) homology is a categorification of the colored Jones polynomial of a link, a quantum sl(2) polynomial associated with a framed link decorated with a symmetric representation of sl(2). There are many non-equivalent ways how to construct such homology. For instance, Khovanov obtained a finite complex by considering sl(2) homology of cablings of a given knot and maps induced by annuli that contracts cables in pairs. The other approach due to Cooper and Krushkal starts with an infinite complex that categories the Jones-Wenzl projector. In my talk I will show that both constructions coincide if the quantum sl(2) homology is considered instead the usual one.
