Semiadequate links and second to extreme Khovanov homology.

Given a semiadequate diagram D representing a link L, we present an algorithm for constructing a presimplicial set such that its geometric realization is homotopy equivalent to the almost-extreme Khovanov complex of L. Moreover, we determine the homotopy type of the presimplicial set obtained when the link is strongly A-adequate. We show explicitly the particular cases of trefoil and figure-8 knots.
