In recent years different aspects of categorification of the boson-fermion correspondence have been studied. In this paper we propose a categorification of the boson-fermion correspondence based on the category of tensor modules of the Lie algebra $sl(\infty)$ of finitary infinite matrices. By $\mathbb T^+$ we denote the category of "polynomial" tensor $sl(\infty)$-modules. There is a natural "creation" functor $\mathcal T_N: \mathbb T^+\to \mathbb T^+$, $M\mapsto N\otimes M,\quad M,N\in \mathbb T^+$. The key idea of the paper is to employ the entire category $\mathbb T$ of tensor $sl(\infty)$-modules in order to define the "annihilation" functor $\mathcal D_N: \mathbb T^+\to \mathbb T^+$ corresponding to $\mathcal T_N$. We show that the relations allowing to express fermions via bosons arise from relations in the cohomology of complexes of linear endofunctors on $\mathbb T^+$.
We construct the Heisenberg counterpart of a Clifford categorification. It is a modification of Khovanov's Heisenberg categorification. We express generators of the Heisenberg category as a complex of generators of the Clifford category. Certain vertex operators associated to the Clifford algebra are lifted to endofunctors of the Fock space categorification.
We associate a monoidal category $\mathcal{H}^λ$ to each dominant integral weight $λ$ of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_p$ or $\mathfrak{sl}_\infty$. These categories, defined in terms of planar diagrams, act naturally on categories of modules for the degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras associated to $λ$. We show that, in the $\mathfrak{sl}_\infty$ case, the level $d$ Heisenberg algebra embeds into the Grothendieck ring of $\mathcal{H}^λ$, where $d$ is the level of $λ$. The categories $\mathcal{H}^λ$ can be viewed as a graphical calculus describing induction and restriction functors between categor…
We construct and investigate the structure of the Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras $R$ and their cyclotomic quotients $R^λ$ which give a categrification of quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebras. Let $U_\A(\g)$ be the integral form of the quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebra associated with a Borcherds-Cartan matrix $A=(a_{ij})_{i,j \in I}$ and let $K_0(R)$ be the Grothedieck group of finitely generated projective graded $R$-modules. We prove that there exists an injective algebra homomorphism $Φ: U_\A^-(\g) \to K_0(R)$ and that $Φ$ is an isomorphism if $a_{ii}\ne 0$ for all $i\in I$. Let $B(…
Let $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$ be a quantum affine algebra of untwisted affine $ADE$ type, and $\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ the Hernandez-Leclerc category of finite-dimensional $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$-modules. For a suitable infinite sequence $\widehat{w}_0= \cdots s_{i_{-1}}s_{i_0}s_{i_1} \cdots$ of simple reflections, we introduce subcategories $\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[a,b]}$ of $\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ for all $a \le b \in \mathbb{Z}\sqcup\{ \pm \infty \}$. Associated with a certain chain $\mathfrak{C}$ of intervals in $[a,b]$, we construct a real simple commuting family $M(\mathfrak{C}…
This paper is the first step in the project of categorifying the bialgebra structure on the half of quantum group $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g})$ by using geometry and Hall algebras. We equip the category of D-modules on the moduli stack of objects of the category $Rep_{\mathbb{C}}(Q)$ of representations of a quiver with the structure of an algebra object in the category of stable $\infty$-categories. The data for this construction is provided by an extension of the Waldhausen construction for the category $Rep_{\mathbb{C}}(Q)$. We discuss the connection to the Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier categorification o…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero. Define the universal grading group $\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{g})$ as having one generator $g_ρ$ for each irreducible $\mathfrak{g}$-representation $ρ$, one relation $g_π = g_ρ^{-1}$ whenever $π$ is weakly contained in the dual representation $ρ^*$ (i.e. the kernel of $π$ in the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$ contains that of $ρ^*$), and one relation $g_ρ = g_{ρ'}g_{ρ"}$ whenever $ρ$ is weakly contained in $ρ'\otimesρ"$. The main result is that attaching to an irreducible representation its…
We describe the structure of the tensor product of the basic Fock representation of sl(\infty) with its shifted dual. More precisely we prove that this tensor product has a unique decreasing filtration with simple quotients. We use the categorification of this representation via translation functors in the abelain envelope of the Deligne category GL(t) for integral t. We also compute dimensions of standard and tilting objects in this abelian envelope.
We prove a conjecture of Cautis and Sussan providing a categorification of the Boson-Fermion correspondence as formulated by Frenkel and Kac. We lift the Bernstein operators to infinite chain complexes in Khovanov's Heisenberg category H and from them construct categorical analogues of the Kac-Frenkel fermionic vertex operators. These fermionic functors are then shown to satisfy categorical Clifford algebra relations, solving a conjecture of Cautis and Sussan. We also prove another conjecture of Cautis and Sussan demonstrating that the categorical Fock space representation of H is a direct sum…
We introduce and explore the relation between quivers and 3-manifolds with the topology of the knot complement. This idea can be viewed as an adaptation of the knots-quivers correspondence to Gukov-Manolescu invariants of knot complements (also known as $F_K$ or $\hat{Z}$). Apart from assigning quivers to complements of $T^{(2,2p+1)}$ torus knots, we study the physical interpretation in terms of the BPS spectrum and general structure of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories associated to both sides of the correspondence. We also make a step towards categorification by proposing a $t$-deformation of all …
In this paper, we introduce the notions of a $3$-$Lie_\infty$-algebra and a 3-Lie 2-algebra. The former is a model for a 3-Lie algebra that satisfy the fundamental identity up to all higher homotopies, and the latter is the categorification of a 3-Lie algebra. We prove that the 2-category of 2-term $3$-$Lie_\infty$-algebras is equivalent to the 2-category of 3-Lie 2-algebras. Skeletal and strict 3-Lie 2-algebras are studied in detail. A construction of a 3-Lie 2-algebra from a symplectic 3-Lie algebra is given.
Let $A$ be the locally unital algebra associated to a cyclotomic oriented Brauer category over an arbitrary algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $p\ge 0$. The category of locally finite dimensional representations of $A $ is used to give the tensor product categorification (in the general sense of Losev and Webster) for an integrable lowest weight with an integrable highest weight representation of the same level for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, where $\mathfrak g$ is a direct sum of copies of $\mathfrak {sl}_\infty$ (resp., $ \hat{\mathfrak {sl}}_p$ ) if $p=0$ (resp., $p>0$)…
We prove that the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence is a $\gl_{\infty}$-crystal isomorphism between two realizations of the crystal graph of a generalized Verma module with respect to a maximal parabolic subalgebra of $\gl_{\infty}$. %This extends the previously known result that %the RSK correspondence is an isomorphism of bicrystals or double %crystals. A flagged version of the RSK correspondence is derived in a natural way by computing a Demazure crystal graph of a generalized Verma module. As an application, we discuss a relation between a Demazure crystal and plane partitions with a…

We define the notion of an infinitely generated tilting object of infinite homological dimension in an abelian category. A one-to-one correspondence between $\infty$-tilting objects in complete, cocomplete abelian categories with an injective cogenerator and $\infty$-cotilting objects in complete, cocomplete abelian categories with a projective generator is constructed. We also introduce $\infty$-tilting pairs, consisting of an $\infty$-tilting object and its $\infty$-tilting class, and obtain a bijective correspondence between $\infty$-tilting and $\infty$-cotilting pairs. Finally, we discuss…
We study monoidal categorifications of certain monoidal subcategories $\mathcal{C}_J$ of finite-dimensional modules over quantum affine algebras, whose cluster algebra structures coincide and arise from the category of finite-dimensional modules over quiver Hecke algebra of type A${}_\infty$. In particular, when the quantum affine algebra is of type A or B, the subcategory coincides with the monoidal category $\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ introduced by Hernandez-Leclerc. As a consequence, the modules corresponding to cluster monomials are real simple modules over quantum affine algebras.
Deligne's category $\underline{\rm Rep}(S_t)$ is a tensor category depending on a parameter $t$ "interpolating" the categories of representations of the symmetric groups $S_n$. We construct a family of categories $\mathcal{C}_λ$ (depending on a vector of variables $λ= (λ_1, λ_2, \ldots, λ_l)$, that may be specialised to values in the ground ring) which are module categories over $\underline{\rm Rep}(S_t)$. The categories $\mathcal{C}_λ$ are defined over any ring and are constructed by interpolating permutation representations. Further, they admit specialisation functors to $S_n$-mod which are …
We re-examine the bijective correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of ideals of the first Weyl algebra and associated quiver varieties (Calogero-Moser spaces) \cite{BW1, BW2}. We give a new explicit construction of this correspondence based on the notion of $\A$-envelope of a rank one torsion-free $A_1$-module. Though perhaps less geometric than other methods, our approach is much simpler and seems more natural from the point of view of deformation theory.
The category of Cohen-Macaulay modules of an algebra $B_{k,n}$ is used [JKS16] to give an additive categorification of the cluster algebra structure on the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian of $k$-planes in $n$-space. In this paper, we find canonical Auslander--Reiten sequences and study the Auslander--Reiten translation periodicity for this category. Furthermore, we give an explicit construction of Cohen-Macaulay modules of arbitrary rank. We then use our results to establish a correspondence between rigid indecomposable modules of rank 2 and real roots of degree 2 for the assoc…
We introduce a simple diagrammatic 2-category $\mathscr{A}$ that categorifies the image of the Fock space representation of the Heisenberg algebra and the basic representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_\infty$. We show that $\mathscr{A}$ is equivalent to a truncation of the Khovanov--Lauda categorified quantum group $\mathscr{U}$ of type $A_\infty$, and also to a truncation of Khovanov's Heisenberg 2-category $\mathscr{H}$. This equivalence is a categorification of the principal realization of the basic representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_\infty$. As a result of the categorical equivalences described abo…
We establish a large class of homotopy coherent Morita-equivalences of Dold-Kan type relating diagrams with values in any weakly idempotent complete additive $\infty$-category; the guiding example is an $\infty$-categorical Dold-Kan correspondence between the $\infty$-categories of simplicial objects and connective coherent chain complexes. Our results generalize many known 1-categorical equivalences such as the classical Dold-Kan correspondence, Pirashvili's Dold-Kan type theorem for abelian $Γ$-groups and, more generally, the combinatorial categorical equivalences of Lack and Street.
In this article we prove that there exists an explicit bijection between nice $d$-pre-Calabi-Yau algebras and $d$-double Poisson differential graded algebras, where $d \in \mathbb{Z}$, extending a result proved by N. Iyudu and M. Kontsevich. We also show that this correspondence is functorial in a quite satisfactory way, giving rise to a (partial) functor from the category of $d$-double Poisson dg algebras to the partial category of $d$-pre-Calabi-Yau algebras. Finally, we further generalize it to include double $P_{\infty}$-algebras, as introduced by T. Schedler.
We present explicit descriptions of the crystals $\mathcal{B}(\infty)$ and $\mathcal{B}(λ)$ over special linear Lie algebras in the language of \emph{extended Nakajima monomials}. There is a natural correspondence between the monomial description and Young tableau realization, which is another realization of crystals $\mathcal{B}(\infty)$ and $\mathcal{B}(λ)$.
We explore the (noncommutative) geometry of locally simple representations of the diagonal locally finite Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sl}(n^\infty)$, $\mathfrak o(n^\infty)$, and $\mathfrak{sp}(n^\infty)$. Let $\mathfrak g_\infty$ be one of these Lie algebras, and let $I \subseteq U(\mathfrak g_\infty)$ be the nonzero annihilator of a locally simple $\mathfrak g_\infty$-module. We show that for each such $I$, there is a quiver $Q$ so that locally simple $\mathfrak g_\infty$-modules with annihilator $I$ are parameterised by "points" in the "noncommutative space" corresponding to the path algebra of…
This is a survey article about properties of Cohen-Macaulay modules over surface singularities. We discuss various results on the Macaulayfication functor, reflexive modules over simple, quotient and minimally elliptic singularities, geometric and algebraic McKay Correspondence. Finally, we describe matrix factorizations corresponding to the indecomposable Cohen-Macaulay modules over the non-isolated singularities $A_\infty$ and $D_\infty$.
We construct the bosonization of the Fock space $\mathit{F^{\otimes \frac{1}{2}}}$ of a single neutral fermion by using a 2-point local Heisenberg field. We decompose the Fock space $\mathit{F^{\otimes \frac{1}{2}}}$ as a direct sum of irreducible highest weight modules for the Heisenberg algebra $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbb{Z}}$, and thus we show that under the Heisenberg $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ action the Fock space $\mathit{F^{\otimes \frac{1}{2}}}$ of the single neutral fermion is isomorphic to the Fock space $\mathit{F^{\otimes 1}}$ of a pair of charged free fermions, thereby constructing the…
