Khovanov homology of links in I-bundles over surfaces

Khovanov homology is defined on links in S^3, constructed as a categorification of Jones polynomial: the graded Euler characteristics of Khovanov homology coincide with Jones polynomial. In this talk I explain the generalization of Khovanov homology on link diagrams on surfaces other than RP^2, and mention the relation with Skein modules.
