The structural decomposition conjecture for equivariant Khovanov homology
The structural decomposition conjecture for equivariant Khovanov homology
Let be a strongly invertible knot. For some , let
Here the second grading is regarded as a relative -grading, and denotes the corresponding shift by . Structural decomposition conjecture. For every strongly invertible knot , there are pairs such that
as a -graded group, with the secondary grading relative. In particular,
The conjecture is motivated by empirical calculations and would explain the observed divisibility and ordered grading behaviour; no theoretical explanation or proof is given, so the claim remains open.
