DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/EQuAL/25/">O
 dd Khovanov homology and higher representation theory</a>\nby Léo Schelst
 raete (Université catholique de Louvain) as part of European Quantum Alge
 bra Lectures (EQuAL)\n\n\nAbstract\nKhovanov homology is a homological inv
 ariant of links categorifying the Jones polynomial. It is by now well-unde
 rstood through the lens of higher representation theory\, categorifying th
 e relationship between the Jones polynomial and the representation theory 
 of Uq(sl2). Surprisingly\, there exists another categorification of the Jo
 nes polynomial\, called odd Khovanov homology. Subsequently\, higher odd (
 or “super”) analogues were discovered in representation theoretic and 
 geometric contexts. In this talk\, I will begin with a gentle introduction
  to the above\, and then explain how odd Khovanov homology can be understo
 od as stemming from a supercategorification of the representation theory o
 f Uq(gl2). This is joint work with Pedro Vaz.\n
