Khovanov Homology

The coefficients of the monomials

t^{r}q^{j}

are shown, along with their alternating sums

\chi

(fixed

j

, alternation over

r

). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where

j-2r=s+1

or

j-2r=s-1

, where

s=

-2 is the signature of 10 7. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
