Abstract

We construct a categorification of the quantum projectors, the analog of the Jones–Wenzl projectors, as the stable limit of the complexes assigned to -twist torus braids (as ) in a suitably shifted version of Morrison and Nieh’s geometric formulation of link homology [14] We use these projectors to give a categorification of the Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant of framed tangles.
