Homological link invariants from Floer theory
Abstract: A new relation between homological mirror symmetry and representation theory solves the knot categorification problem.
One side of mirror symmetry is a theory which generalizes Heegard-Floer theory from gl(1|1) to arbitrary simple Lie (super) algebras.
The corresponding theory has many special features, which render it solvable explicitly. In this talk,
I will describe how the theory is solved, and how homological link invariants arise from it.
