Functoriality of Khovanov homology
Abstract
In this paper we prove that every Khovanov homology associated to a Frobenius algebra of rank 2 can be modified in such a way as to produce a TQFT on oriented links, that is a monoidal functor from the category of cobordisms of oriented links to the homotopy category of complexes.
