A corollary of our result is that Khovanov's categorification of the reduced n-colored Jones polynomial detects the unknot whenever n>1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-10-13T13:32:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M27", "57R58", "57M12", "81R50" ], "keywords": [ "knot floer homology", "sutured floer homology", "khovanovs categorification", "reduced n-colored jones polynomial detects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0807.1432E" } } }
