Khovanov Homology. The coefficients of the monomials t^rq^j are shown, along with their alternating sums χ (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=10 is the signature of T(11,2). Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.

Computer Talk. The data above can be recomputed by Mathematica using the package KnotTheory`. Following setup, the sample Mathematica session below reproduces most of the above data (Mathematica system prompts in blue, human input in red, Mathematica output in black):
