This induces an action of the Steenrod algebra on Khovanov homology. In this paper, we describe the first interesting operation, Sq^2:Kh^{i,j}(L) -> Kh^{i+2,j}(L). We compute this operation for all links up to 11 crossings; this, in turn, determines the stable homotopy type of X(L) for all such links.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-10-31T20:50:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "khovanov homology", "steenrod square", "space-level version", "first interesting operation", "stable homotopy type" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.5776L" } } }
