On stable Khovanov homology of torus knots

Coauthors: Alexei Oblomkov, Jacob Rasmussen

A theorem of Stosic shows that the Khovanov homology of (n,m) torus knots stabilize at large m. The limiting homology are tightly related to the colored homology of the unknot. I will describe a simple conjectural model for the stable Khovanov homology using the Koszul homology of an explicit non-regular sequence of quadratic polynomials. This model reproduces available experimental data, including the torsion. The corresponding Poincare series turns out to be related to the Rogers-Ramanujan identity.
