Bar-Natan Homology for null homologous links in \mathbb{RP}^3
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce Bar-Natan homology for null homologous links in \mathbb{RP}3 over the field of two elements. It is a deformation of the Khovanov homology in \mathbb{RP}3 defined by Asaeda, Przytycki and Sikora. We also define an s-invariant from this deformation using the same recipe as for links in S3, and prove some genus bound using it. The key ingredient is the notion of twisted orientation for null homologous links and cobordisms in \mathbb{RP}3.
