Equivariant $\mathit{sl}(n)$–link homology

Abstract

For every positive integer $n$ we construct a bigraded homology theory for links, such that the corresponding invariant of the unknot is closely related to the $U (n)$ –equivariant cohomology ring of ${ℂ ℙ}^{n - 1}$ ; our construction specializes to the Khovanov–Rozansky $s l_{n}$ –homology. We are motivated by the “universal” rank two Frobenius extension studied by M Khovanov for $s l_{2}$ –homology.
