There are various spectral sequences starting from the Khovanov homology of a link in S^3 (which is an algebraically defined quantum invariant) to various versions of Floer homology (which are invariants with a more analytical nature). In this talk, we discuss what are the implications in this context of the conjugation symmetry in Seiberg-Witten theory.
