The HOMFLY homology differentials conjecture

Let KK be a knot, and suppose Hi,j,k(K)\mathcal H_{i,j,k}(K) is a triply graded homology categorifying the reduced HOMFLY polynomial, equipped with differentials {dN}NZ\{d_N\}_{N\in\mathbb Z} satisfying the grading, anticommutativity, and symmetry axioms stated in the source. Define

Hp,kN(K)=iN+j=pHi,j,k(K).\mathcal H^N_{p,k}(K)=\bigoplus_{iN+j=p}\mathcal H_{i,j,k}(K).

HOMFLY homology differentials conjecture. There is a homology theory H\mathcal H_* categorifying the HOMFLY polynomial, with differentials {dN}\{d_N\} satisfying those three axioms, such that for all N>0N>0 the homology of (HN(K),dN)(\mathcal H^N_*(K),d_N) is isomorphic to the sl(N)sl(N) Khovanov–Rozansky homology, while for N=0N=0 the homology of (H0(K),d0)(\mathcal H^0_*(K),d_0) is isomorphic to knot Floer homology. This conjecture seeks one triply graded theory simultaneously recovering the sl(N)sl(N) theories and knot Floer homology; the source gives no resolution status.
