On Steenrod squares for even and odd Khovanov homology

Abstract: For an arbitrary link $L \subset S^3$ , Sarkar-Scaduto-Stoffregen construct a family of spatial refinements of even and odd Khovanov homology. We give a computation of $\text{Sq}^2$ on these spaces, determining their stable homotopy types for all knots K up to 11 crossings. We also prove that the Steenrod squares $\text{Sq}_0^2$ , $\text{Sq}_1^2$ defined by Sch\"utz do arise as Steenrod squares on these spaces.
