A spanning tree model for Khovanov homology


Wehrli, S (2008). A spanning tree model for Khovanov homology. Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications (JKTR), 17(12):1561-1574.

Abstract

We show that the Khovanov complex of a connected link diagram D retracts to a subcomplex whose generators are in 2:1 correspondence with the spanning trees of the "black graph" of D. Using this result, we give a new proof of Lee's theorem on the support of Khovanov homology of alternating knots.
