Khovanov-homology signature bounds conjecture
Khovanov-homology signature bounds conjecture
Let be a knot whose integral Khovanov homology is supported on diagonals
where is the width of its Khovanov homology, and let denote its signature. Khovanov-homology signature bounds conjecture. The signature lies strictly between the extreme diagonals:
The source calls this a folklore conjecture dating from the development of Khovanov homology; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
