Defining Integral Khovanov Homology for Virtual Links
Abstract: This talk discusses strategies for defining integral Khovanov homology for virtual links. We begin by reviewing the definition of Khovanov homology for classical links and then discuss how
it can be extended to virtual links by a method due to Manturov and by some simplifications of Manturov’s method that have evolved since his construction.
