Khovanov homology is a knot homology theory, introduced by M. Khovanov in 2000 as a categorification of the Jones polynomial. Equivariant versions of Khovanov homology are also known, and they play an important role in understanding the Rasmussen invariant. In this talk, I will present the results established in my joint work with M. Khovanov in September 2025 (arXiv:2509.03785): (i) an order-two symmetry inherent in equivariant Khovanov homology, (ii) the existence of a signed Shumakovitch operator, and (iii) its relationship to the Rasmussen invariant.
