Knots with identical Khovanov homology

Liam Watson, UQAM

This talk will introduce a particular class of knots, together with an
operation on this class that is undetected by Khovanov homology.  This
gives rise to some interesting examples of distinct knots that cannot
be detected using Khovanov homology. Perhaps most notably, it can be
shown that this operation produces both mutant and non-mutant examples
of distinct knots with identical Khovanov homology.
