Introduction to Khovanov type graph homology for non-commutative algebras
by
Jing Wang

Coauthors: Jozef H. Przytycki

Few years after Khovanov homology was introduced as the categorification of Jones polynomial for knots, its version for graphs was developed by Helme-Guizon and Rong, Later Przytycki observed the relation with Hochschild homology.

In this talk, I will introduce a more general definition of this Khovanov type graph homology for non-commutative algebras. In particular, we use the language of homology of a small category with functor coefficients and consider directed graphs with the idea of multi-paths proposed by Turner and Wagner.
