To a smooth, compact, oriented, properly-embedded surface in the $4$-ball, we define an invariant of its boundary-preserving isotopy class from the Khovanov homology of its boundary link. Previous work showed that when the boundary link is empty, this invariant is determined by the genus of the surface. We show that this relative invariant: can obstruct sliceness of knots; detects a pair of slices for $9_{46}$; is not hindered by detecting connected sums with knotted $2$-spheres.

. We explicitly compute the homology groups with coefficients in a field of characteristic zero of cocyclic subgroups or even Artin groups of FC-type. We also give some partial results in the case when the coefficients are taken in a field of prime characteristic.

We prove that if a surface group embeds as a normal subgroup in a K¨ahler group and the conjugation action of the K¨ahler group on the surface group preserves the conjugacy class of a non-trivial element, then the K¨ahler group is virtually given by a direct product, where one factor is a surface group. Moreover we prove that if a one-ended hyperbolic group with infinite outer automorphism group embeds as a normal subgroup in a K¨ahler group then it is virtually a surface group. More generally we give restrictions on normal subgroups of K¨ahler groups which are amalgamated products or HNN extensions.
