Bar-Natan’s Khovanov homology for coloured links

Marco Mackaay and Paul Turner

Vol. 229 (2007), No. 2, 429–446
Abstract

Using Bar-Natan’s link homology we define a homology theory for framed links whose components are labelled by irreducible representations of the group Uq(sl2). We then compute this explicitly.
