A symmetric group action on the Khovanov homology of cables
by
Stephan Wehrli
Syracuse University

Following up on a conjecture that I stated at an earlier KIW conference, I will describe an action of the symmetric group on the Khovanov homology of the n-cable of a knot. I will show that this action factors through the Temperley-Lieb algebra at q=1, and I will use this result to outline a relationship with Khovanov's categorification of the nonreduced n-colored Jones polynomial.
