gl(1|1) and an odd annular Bar-Natan category

Coauthors: Stephan Wehrli

We introduce an odd version of the annular Bar-Natan category and show it is equivalent to a dotted version of the odd Temperley-Lieb supercategory defined by Brundan and Ellis. After setting dots equal to zero, this category embeds into the representation category of the Lie superalgebra gl(1|1). This gives us an interpretation of the gl(1|1) action on odd annular Khovanov homology shown in a recent paper by Grigsby and Wehrli.
