On the Jones polynomial via Khovanov and chromatic homology

Coauthors: Radmila Sazdanovic

We compute torsion in Khovanov homology for certain classes of links, using a related homology theory for graphs. We show that for links whose Khovanov homology is thin, the first/last n coefficients of the Jones polynomial are given by a formula in terms of the all-A state graph of a diagram.
