Abstract
Springer varieties appear in both geometric representation theory and knot theory. Motivated by knot theory and categorification, Khovanov provides a topological construction of (m,m) Springer varieties. Here we extend his construction to all two-row Springer varieties. Using the combinatorial and diagrammatic properties of this construction we provide a particularly useful homology basis and construct the Springer representation using this basis. We also provide a skein-theoretic formulation of the representation in this case.
