Analysis of twists in frobenius algebras shows new proof for isomorphic chain complexes in link homology.
We discuss twists on Frobenius algebras in the context of link homology. In his paper in 2006, Khovanov asserted that a twist of a Frobenius algebra yields an isomorphic chain complex on each link diagram. Although the result has been widely accepted for nearly two decades, a subtle gap in the original proof was found in the induction step of the construction of the isomorphism. Following discussion with Khovanov, we decided to provide a new proof. Our proof is based on a detailed analysis of configurations of circles in each state.
