An analog of Khovanov homology for Graphs

Coauthors: Yongwu Rong

This talk will explain how, from a graph, one can construct a chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is the Chromatic polynomial of the graph we started from.

We will also describe an exact sequence which relates the homology groups of G, G-e and G/e, for any graph G and any edge e of G.
