The Khovanov width of twisted links and closed 3-braids

Abstract: Abstract. Khovanov homology is a bigraded Z-module that categorifies the Jones polynomial. The support of Khovanov homology lies on a finite number of slope two lines with respect to the bigrading. The Khovanov width is essentially the largest horizontal distance between two such lines. We show that it is possible to generate infinite families of links with the same Khovanov width from link diagrams satisfying certain conditions. Consequently, we compute the Khovanov width for all closed 3-braids.Mathematics S… Show more

“…Lowrance [22] and Watson [36] have proved that the width of Khovanov homology remains unchanged after replacing a crossing in a link diagram with an alternating rational tangle, provided the crossing satisfies certain conditions. Using Corollary 4.6, this generates many families of knots with unbounded Turaev genus.…”
