Abstract

We construct a categorification of the quantum sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 projectors, the sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 analog of the Jones–Wenzl projectors, as the stable limit of the complexes assigned to kk-twist torus braids (as kk \to \infty) in a suitably shifted version of Morrison and Nieh’s geometric formulation of sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 link homology [14] We use these projectors to give a categorification of the sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant of framed tangles.
