Event description:
I will explain how folding Khovanov—Rozansky’s SL(2n) homology gives a new approach to categorifying the spin colored SO(2n + 1) Reshetikhin—Turaev link polynomial. To develop this new approach I will mention: skew Howe duality, categorical braid group actions, i-quantum groups, and graphical calculus for SO(2n + 1) centralizer algebras.
