摘要

Independence complexes of circle graphs are purely combinatorial objects. However, when derived from a diagram of a link L, they encode rich topological information – particularly about the Khovanov homology of L. In this work, we investigate the homotopy types of independence complexes of circle graphs, with a focus on the case where the graph is bipartite. Moreover, we compute the extreme Khovanov homology of the family of pretzel links P(q, r, s,−t) with q, r, s, t > 0, using chord diagrams and their corresponding independence complexes.
