The Drinfeld realization of quantum affine algebras has been tremendously useful since its discovery. Combining techniques of Beck and Nakajima with our previous approach, we give a complete and conceptual proof of the Drinfeld realization for the twisted quantum affine algebras using Lusztig’s braid group action.

We consider a class of bimodules over polynomial algebras which were originally introduced by Soergel in relation to the Kazhdan–Lusztig theory, and which describe a direct summand of the category of Harish–Chandra modules for sl(n). Rouquier used Soergel bimodules to construct a braid group action on the homotopy category of complexes of modules over a polynomial algebra. We apply Hochschild homology to Rouquier's complexes and produce triply-graded homology groups associated to a braid. These groups turn out to be isomorphic to the groups previously defined by Lev Rozansky and the author, which depend, up to isomorphism and overall shift, only on the closure of the braid. Consequently, our construction produces a homology theory for links.

By studying the braid group action on Milnor's construction of the 1-sphere, we show that the general higher homotopy group of the 3-sphere is the fixed set of the pure braid group action on certain combinatorially described groups. This establishes a relation between the braid groups and the homotopy groups of the sphere.2000Mathematical Subject Classification: 20F36, 55P35, 55Q05, 55Q40, 55U10.
