In this note we make an attempt to compare a cohomological theory of Hilbert spaces of ground states in the N=(2,2){\cal N}=(2,2) 2d Landau-Ginzburg theory in models describing link embeddings in R3{\mathbb{R}}^3 to Khovanov and Khovanov-Rozansky homologies. To confirm the equivalence we exploit the invariance of Hilbert sp…

We show that the Borel sums of the Voros symbols considered in the theory of exact WKB analysis arise naturally as Fock-Goncharov coordinates of framed PGL2(C)PGL_2(\mathbb{C})-local systems on a marked bordered surface. Using this result, we show that these Borel sums can be meromorphically continued to any point of $\math…
