1 Knot homologies & lowdimensional topology ctober 8, 2008 Salt Lake City, UT
2 What is a knot? A knot is an equivalence class of smooth imbeddings f : S 1 R 3, where two imbeddings are equivalent if they can be connected by an isotopy.
3 Q: Why do we care about knots? Q: Why do I, Eli Grigsby, a lowdimensional topologist, care about knots? A: Fundamental for understanding 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds.
4 Q: Why 3- & 4-dimensional manifolds? Dimensions <3: Very constrained-- You Are Here too easy Dimensions 3, 4: Just right. Dimensions >4: Too much freedom-- translate questions to homotopy theory
5 Q: What do knots have to do with low-dimensional topology? A: They can be used to construct new 3-manifolds from old.
6 Surgery on Knots K R 3 R 3 N(K)
7 Surgery on Knots R 3 N(K) S 1 D 2
8 Surgery on Knots µ D 2 R 3 N(K) S 1 D 2 R 3 = [R 3 N(K)] µ=d 2 [S 1 D 2 ]
9 Surgery on Knots γ D 2 R 3 N(K) S 1 D 2 R 3 γ(k) = [R 3 N(K)] γ=d 2 [S 1 D 2 ] New 3-manifold!
10 Theorem (Lickorish-Wallace): Every closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold can be obtained by doing surgery on a link in S 3. Moral: If we can understand knots (links), we can understand 3-manifolds.
11 How do we understand knots? = Complicated...
12 Idea: Knot Invariants Algebraic bject Number Polynomial Group Graded group Category etc. Prove invariance under choice of diagram: Knot invariant
13 Classical knot invariants Alexander polynomial Jones polynomial Determinant Signature Arf invariant Mod p colorings Tristam-Levine signatures etc.
14 New knot invariants! Knot homology theories Powerful (separate knots, encode topological information) Computable (a computer can do it)
15 Knot homology theories H(C i,j, ) Homology of a Bi-graded chain complex
16 Knot homology theories H(C i,j, ) Knot Floer homology (P. zsváth-z. Szabó, Rasmussen) Khovanov homology (M. Khovanov) ĤF K i,j (K) Kh i,j (K)
17 Bi-graded chain complexes and Homology C i,j C i+1,j C i,j 1 C i+1,j C i,j is a finite-dimensional vector space (over F = Z/2Z) : C i,j C i,j 1 is a linear transformation = 0 Im() Ker() H i,j = Ker() Im()
18 Euler Characteristics: Knot homologies as Categorifications ĤF K i,j (K) i F K = F F F 2 F F F 2 F 4 j Alexander polynomial! : T 2 + T T + T 2
19 Knot Floer Homology categorifies the classical Alexander polynomial. Khovanov Homology categorifies the classical Jones polynomial.
20 Khovanov Homology & Knot Floer Homology Inspired by ideas in physics Categorify classical knot invariants Share other formal similarities Definitions are quite different...

28 Grid Diagrams to Chain Complexes Not empty: Contains an intersection point
