Based on the results of the second author, we define an equivariant version of Lee and Bar-Natan homology for periodic links and show that there exists an equivariant spectral sequence from the equivariant Khovanov homology to equivariant Lee homology. As a result we obtain new obstructions for a link to be periodic. These obstructions generalize previous results of Przytycki and of the second author.

Khovanov homotopy type and periodic links
• Mathematics
• 2018
Given an $m$-periodic link $L\subset S^3$, we show that the Khovanov spectrum $\X_L$ constructed by Lipshitz and Sarkar admits a group action. We relate the Borel cohomology of $\X_L$ to the
A new polynomial criterion for periodic knots
• Mathematics

The purpose of this paper is to present a new periodicity criterion. For that purpose, we study the HOMFLY-PT polynomial and the Kauffman polynomial of cables of periodic links. Furthermore, we
On the groups of periodic links
It is shown that, if a link $\tilde{L}\subset S^3$ is $p^k$-periodic with $p$ prime and $k\ge 1$, and $L$ is the quotient link, then the groups of $\tilde{L}$ and $L$ can be related by counting
Finite orthogonal groups and periodicity of links
• Mathematics

For a prime number $q\neq 2$ and $r>0$ we study, whether there exists an isometry of order $q^r$ acting on a free $\mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$-module equipped with a scalar product. We investigate, whether
A rank inequality for the annular Khovanov homology of 2-periodic links
For a 2-periodic link $\tilde L$ in the thickened annulus and its quotient link $L$, we exhibit a spectral sequence with \$E^1 \cong AKh(\tilde L) \otimes_{\mathbb{F}_2} \mathbb{F}_2[\theta,

By applying the Dwyer–Wilkerson theorem, Khovanov homology of the quotient link is expressed in terms of equivariant Khovanova homological of the original link.

Khovanov homology and the slice genus
We use Lee’s work on the Khovanov homology to define a knot invariant s. We show that s(K) is a concordance invariant and that it provides a lower bound for the smooth slice genus of K. As a

This paper continues the study of periodic links started in \cite{Politarczyk2}. It contains a study of the equivariant analogues of the Jones polynomial, which can be obtained from the equivariant
Khovanov's homology for tangles and cobordisms
We give a fresh introduction to the Khovanov Homology theory for knots and links, with special emphasis on its extension to tangles, cobordisms and 2-knots. By staying within a world of topological

Khovanov homology and the symmetry group of a knot
We introduce an invariant of tangles in Khovanov homology by considering a natural inverse system of Khovanov homology groups. As application, we derive an invariant of strongly invertible knots;
An Endomorphism of the Khovanov Invariant
We construct an endomorphism of the Khovanov invariant to prove H-thinness and pairing phenomena of the invariants for alternating links. As a consequence, it follows that the Khovanov invariant of
