Abstract

Blanchet introduced certain singular cobordisms to fix the functoriality of Khovanov homology. In this paper we introduce graded algebras consisting of such singular cobordisms à la Blanchet. As the main result we explicitly describe these algebras in algebraic terms using the combinatorics of arc diagrams.
