Invariants of $4$–manifolds from Khovanov–Rozansky link homology

Scott Morrison, Kevin Walker and Paul Wedrich

Geometry & Topology 26 (2022) 3367–3420
DOI: 10.2140/gt.2022.26.3367
Abstract

We use Khovanov–Rozansky 𝔤𝔩N link homology to define invariants of oriented smooth 4–manifolds, as skein modules constructed from certain 4–categories with well-behaved duals.

The technical heart of this construction is a proof of the sweep-around property, which makes these link homologies well defined in the 3–sphere.
