An Extension of Khovanov Homology to Immersed Surface Cobordisms
Abstract
We show that an oriented surface in R4 containing double point singularities induces a map between the Khovanov homology groups of its boundary links in a functorial way. As part of this work, the movie moves of Carter and Saito are extended to surfaces with double points.
