Seidel–Smith conjecture on symplectic Khovanov cohomology

About 17 years old · traced to

Let L⊂S3L\subset S^3 be a link. The singly graded symplectic Khovanov cohomology is denoted by Khsympk(L)Kh^k_{symp}(L), and the bigraded combinatorial Khovanov homology by Khi,j(L)Kh^{i,j}(L). Seidel–Smith conjecture. For every integer kk,

Khsympk(L)≅⨁i−j=kKhi,j(L).Kh^k_{symp}(L)\cong \bigoplus_{i-j=k}Kh^{i,j}(L).

This conjecture asserts that symplectic Khovanov cohomology recovers the Jones grading of Khovanov homology after collapsing the bigrading along i−j=ki-j=k. It is true over any characteristic-zero field, by work of Abouzaid and Smith.
