Title:
Khovanov Homology from Floer cohomology

Speaker:
Mohammed Abouzaid

Abstract:
Seidel and Smith constructed a Floer theoretic knot invariant which they conjectured to agree with Khovanov homology. I will explain joint work with Ivan Smith, which has been recently completed, leading to a proof of this conjecture. Time permitting, I will comment on the fact that we can construct a second grading on Floer theory, and on the remaining work needed to establish that it yields a knot invariant.
