Title: Spin link homology 

Abstract: I will explain how folding can be applied to Khovanov-Rozansky’s $SL(2n)$ homology to give a new approach to categorifying the Spin$(2n + 1)$ Reshetikhin-Turaev link polynomial. To develop this new approach I will mention: skew Howe duality, categorical braid group actions, and i-quantum groups. This is based on joint work with B.Elias and D.Rose (arXiv:2407.00189).
