We show that the equality of these evaluations can be viewed as the decategorified content of the conjectured spectral sequences relating $\\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ homology and $HFK_n$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-14T18:49:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K18", "57K14" ], "keywords": [ "heegaard floer theory", "link polynomials", "constructions", "euler characteristic", "heegaard floer knot invariants" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
