### A trivial tail homology for non-$A$–adequate links

Christine Ruey Shan Lee

#### Abstract

We prove a conjecture of Rozansky’s concerning his categorification of the tail of the colored Jones polynomial for an $A$–adequate link. We show that the tail homology groups he constructs are trivial for non-$A$–adequate links.
