Abstract

For strongly invertible knots, we define an involutive version of Khovanov homology, and from it derive a pair of integer-valued invariants .s;x s/, which is an equivariant version of Rasmussen's s-invariant.Using these invariants, we reprove that the infinite family of knots J n introduced by Hayden each admits exotic pairs of slice disks.Our construction is intended to give a Khovanov-theoretic analogue of the formalism given by Dai, Mallick and Stoffregen in involutive knot Floer theory.57K18 1.
