Abstract

We introduce a new method for computing triply graded link homology, which is particularly well adapted to torus links. Our main application is to the $(n,n)$-torus links, for which we give an exact answer for all $n$. In several cases, our computations verify conjectures of Gorsky et al. relating homology of torus links with Hilbert schemes.
