Clasp technology to knot homology via the affine Grassmannian
Abstract
We categorify all the Reshetikhin-Turaev tangle invariants of type A. Our main tool is a categorification of the generalized Jones-Wenzl projectors (a.k.a. clasps) as infinite twists. Applying this to certain convolution product varieties on the affine Grassmannian we extend our earlier work with Kamnitzer from standard to arbitrary representations.
