Knot Invariants and Higher Representation Theory.

The author constructs knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. He shows that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for \mathfrak{sl}_2 and \mathfrak{sl}_3 and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel and Sussan for \mathfrak{sl}...

Sumario:The author constructs knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. He shows that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for \mathfrak{sl}_2 and \mathfrak{sl}_3 and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel and Sussan for \mathfrak{sl}_n. The author's technique is to study 2-representations of 2-quantum groups (in the sense of Rouquier and Khovanov-Lauda) categorifying tensor products of irreducible representations. These are the representation categories of certain finite dimensional algebras with an explicit diagrammatic presen.
