Title: Khovanov homology and Lagrangian cobordisms

Abstract: We provide a partial answer to a question of Ekholm, Honda, and Kalman about the relationship between Khovanov homology and decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms. We also utilize previously defined filtered invariants to give a family of obstructions to decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms from Khovanov homology. Joint with Gage Martin and Zachary Winkeler.
