Khovanov homology

In mathematics, Khovanov homology is an oriented link invariant that arises as the homology of a chain complex. It may be regarded as a categorification of the Jones polynomial. It was developed in the late 1990s by Mikhail Khovanov, then at the University of California, Davis, now at Columbia University. (Wikipedia).
