Khovanov homology detects the Hopf links
Abstract: We prove that any link in $S3$ whose Khovanov homology is the same as that of a Hopf link must be isotopic to that Hopf link. This holds for both reduced and unreduced Khovanov homology, and with coefficients in either $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$.
