A Jones polynomial for braid-like isotopies of oriented links and its categorification

Benjamin Audoux, Thomas Fiedler

Published 2005-03-04, updated 2005-11-25Version 5

A braid-like isotopy for links in 3-space is an isotopy which uses only those Reidemeister moves which occur in isotopies of braids. We define a refined Jones polynomial and its corresponding Khovanov homology which are, in general, only invariant under braid-like isotopies.
