Title: Aganagic's invariant is Khovanov homology
Abstract: Webster computed the Khovanov homology of (the closure of) a braid in terms of the action of that braid on a certain KLRW category. Aganagic proposed that the same computation could be done in the Fukaya-Seidel category of the multiplicative Coulomb branch associated to a weighted quiver. In this talk we will recap the story so far and then sketch LePage and Shende's proof of Aganagic's proposal.
