2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/105973The topological string interpretation of homological knot invariants has led to several insights into the structure of the theory in the case of sl(N). We study possible extensions of the matrix factorization approach to knot homology for other Lie groups and representations. In particular, we introduce a new triply graded theory categorifying the Kauffman polynomial, test it, and predict the Kauffman homology for several simple knots.45 pages, harvmacHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeometric TopologyQuantum AlgebraMatrix Factorizations and Kauffman Homologytext
