Sutured Khovanov-Lee homology and braids Grigsby, J. Elisenda

Description

I will describe joint work in progress with Tony Licata aimed at understanding an annular version of Lee's deformation of the Khovanov complex. In particular, we obtain a family of real-valued braid conjugacy class invariants generalizing Rasmussen's "s" invariant that give bounds on the Euler characteristic of smoothly-imbedded surfaces in the thickened solid torus. The algebraic model for this construction is the recently-defined Upsilon invariant of Ozsvath-Stipsicz-Szabo.
