Khovanov homology in thickened surfaces
by
Jeffrey Boerner
University of Iowa

I will introduce an infinite family of link homologies in thickened orientable surfaces. One member of the family is closely related to the homology theory developed by M. Asaeda, J. Przytycki and A. Sikora. In addition I will introduce a homology theory whose graded euler characteristic is exactly the Kauffman Surface Bracket.
