Torsion of the Khovanov homology
by
Alexander Shumakovitch
Dartmouth College

This talk is (obviously) devoted to the torsion of the Khovanov homology groups. Although the Betti numbers of these groups have many remarkable properties, their torsion appear to be even more fascinating. We are going to prove several properties of this torsion, discuss methods of its calculation and finally formulate several conjectures about it.
