Hogancamp's Hamiltonian-action conjecture for link homology

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let LL be an arbitrary link, let HY(L)\mathrm{HY}(L) denote its homology, and let Ek\mathcal{E}_k and Fk\mathcal{F}_k be the operators acting on it. Let H2\mathcal{H}_2 be the Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields on the plane, and let H2≥2\mathcal{H}_2^{\ge 2} be the subalgebra spanned by the vector fields vxaybv_{x^ay^b} with a+b≥2a+b\ge 2. For a knot LL, let HHH‾(L)\overline{\mathrm{HHH}}(L) denote its reduced HOMFLY-PT homology. Hamiltonian-action conjecture. Given an arbitrary link LL, there is an action of the Lie algebra H2\mathcal{H}_2 on HY(L)\mathrm{HY}(L) extending the action of Ek,Fk\mathcal{E}_k,\mathcal{F}_k. If LL is a knot then there is an action of H2≥2\mathcal{H}_2^{\ge 2} on HHH‾(L)\overline{\mathrm{HHH}}(L). This proposes that the Hamiltonian symmetry established for (n,n+1)(n,n+1) torus knots extends to all links, with the reduced version for knots. The source gives no further resolution of the conjecture.
