Khovanov's diagram algebras and bordered Floer homology
by
Stephan Wehrli
Syracuse University
Coauthors: Denis Auroux, J. Elisenda Grigsby

I will discuss a connection between certain Khovanov- and Heegaard Floer-type invariants for knots, braids, and 3-manifolds. Specifically, I will explain how the 1-strand part of the bordered Floer bimodule associated to the branched double-cover of a braid is related to a similar bimodule defined by Khovanov and Seidel.

I will further present a partial result relating the k-strand part of the bordered Floer algebra to one of the cellular algebras studied by Chen-Khovanov and Brundan-Stroppel.
