“…In 2010, Kronheimer and Mrowka used instanton gauge theory to prove that Khovanov homology detects the unknot [13]. In 2018, Baldwin and Sivek combined gauge theory with ideas from contact topology to prove that Khovanov homology detects the trefoils [1]. Until now, these were the only knots known to be detected by Khovanov homology, though there have been several additional results (most very recent) regarding detection of links whose components are unknots and trefoils; see Hedden–Ni [8], Batson–Seed [4], Baldwin–Sivek–Xie [2], Xie–Zhang [24, 25], Lipshitz–Sarkar [15], Martin [17] and Li–Xie–Zhang [14].…”
