Prasad–Saeki braid conjecture for torsion in Khovanov homology
Prasad–Saeki braid conjecture for torsion in Khovanov homology
Consider the Khovanov homology of closures of braids, where is prime and is a positive integer.
Prasad–Saeki braid conjecture. The Khovanov homology of a closed -braid can have only -torsion. The Khovanov homology of a closed -braid cannot have odd torsion, and can have only - and -torsion. More generally, the Khovanov homology of a closed -braid cannot have -torsion for , and cannot have -torsion for .
The paper introduces counterexamples to parts (2') and (3') for , so the listed claim is refuted at least in those parts. The status of the remaining parts is not resolved by the supplied excerpt.
