Deformations of colored $\mathfrak{sl}_{N}$ link homologies via foams

David E V Rose and Paul Wedrich

Geometry & Topology 20 (2016) 3431–3517
Abstract

We prove a conjectured decomposition of deformed slN link homology, as well as an extension to the case of colored links, generalizing results of Lee, Gornik, and Wu. To this end, we use foam technology to give a completely combinatorial construction of Wu’s deformed colored slN link homologies. By studying the underlying deformed higher representation-theoretic structures and generalizing the Karoubi envelope approach of Bar-Natan and Morrison, we explicitly compute the deformed invariants in terms of undeformed type A link homologies of lower rank and color.
