The category of Soergel bimodules categorifies the Hecke algebra. Khovanov and Rozansky used Soergel bimodules to define triply graded link homology (also known as Khovanov-Rozansky homology) which categorifies HOMFLY-PT link invariant. I will survey some results and conjectures relating Soergel bimodules and Khovanov-Rozansky homology with the Hilbert scheme of points on the plane. The talk is based on joint works with Matt Hogancamp, Andrei Negut, Jake Rasmussen and Paul Wedrich.
