HTLW03 - Physics and knot homologies

I will report on joint work in progress with Ivan Smith which combines ideas of Lawrence and Bigelow and Gaiotto-Witten with motivation from homological mirror symmetry to propose a symplectic construction of a pair of knot invariants which are expected to correspond to the odd and even Khovanov homologies. I will mostly focus on the only computation which is fully understood: the trivial diagram of the unknot.
