Rank-three Khovanov homology classification for null-homologous knots in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let KK be a null-homologous knot in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3. Write Kh⁡~(K;Z/2)\widetilde{\operatorname{Kh}}(K;\mathbb{Z}/2) for its reduced Khovanov homology over Z/2\mathbb{Z}/2. Rank-three Khovanov homology conjecture. If

dim⁡Kh⁡~(K;Z/2)=3,\dim\widetilde{\operatorname{Kh}}(K;\mathbb{Z}/2)=3,

then KK is either the local trefoil or the knot 212_1 in the knot table. This would classify the null-homologous knots in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3 with reduced Khovanov homology of rank 33; the paper gives no resolution of the conjecture.
