Annular Khovanov homology and knotted Schur-Weyl representations
Abstract
Let L be a link in a thickened annulus. We show that its sutured annular Khovanov homology carries an action of the exterior current algebra of the Lie algebra sl2. When L is an m-framed n-cable of a knot K in the three-sphere, its sutured annular Khovanov homology carries a commuting action of the symmetric group Sn. One therefore obtains a "knotted" Schur-Weyl representation that agrees with classical sl2 Schur-Weyl duality when K is the Seifert-framed unknot.
