Dunfield–Gukov–Rasmussen symmetry conjecture for reduced Khovanov–Rozansky homology

About 5 years old · traced to

Let KK be a knot and let HHH‾(K)=⨁HHH‾i,j,k(K)\overline{\mathrm{HHH}}(K)=\bigoplus \overline{\mathrm{HHH}}_{i,j,k}(K) be its reduced triply graded homology, where ii is the aa-grading, jj is the quantum grading, and kk is the homological grading. Dunfield–Gukov–Rasmussen's symmetry conjecture.

dim⁡HHH‾i,−2j,k(K)=dim⁡HHH‾i,2j,k+2j(K).\dim\overline{\mathrm{HHH}}_{i,-2j,k}(K)=\dim\overline{\mathrm{HHH}}_{i,2j,k+2j}(K).

This symmetry was conjectured by Dunfield, Gukov, and Rasmussen and verified in numerous examples; the paper proves it by showing that the operator F2F_2 satisfies a hard Lefschetz property. It was also related to results concerning compactified Jacobians, Hilbert schemes of points on the plane, and rational Cherednik algebras.
