Fray functors and equivalence of colored HOMFLYPT homologies
Abstract
We construct several families of functors on the homotopy category of singular Soergel bimodules that mimic cabling and insertion of column-colored projectors. We use these functors to identify the intrinsically-colored homology of Webster--Williamson and the projector-colored homology of Elias--Hogancamp for an arbitrary link, up to multiplication by a polynomial in the quantum degree q. Combined with the results of arXiv:2303.16271, this establishes parity results for the intrinsic column-colored homology of positive torus knots, partially resolving a conjecture of Hogancamp--Rose--Wedrich in arXiv:2107.09590.
