We review the Beilinson-Ginzburg construction of equivariant derived categories of Harish-Chandra modules, and introduce analogues of Zuckerman functors in this setting. They are given by an explicit formula, which works equally well in the case of modules with a given infinitesimal character, which is important if one wants to apply Beilinson-Bernstein localization. We also show how to recover the usual Zuckerman functors from the equivariant ones by passing to cohomology.
We review Koszul duality in representation theory of category $ \cal O $, especially we give a new presentation of the Koszul duality functor. Combining this with work of Backelin, we show that the translation and Zuckerman functors are Koszul dual to each other, thus verifying a conjecture of Bernstein, Frenkel and Khovanov. Finally we use Koszul duality to give a short proof of the Enright-Shelton equivalence.
In the first part of this series of papers we constructed dg analogues of the Zuckerman functors over commutative rings and the dual Zuckerman functors over the field of complex numbers. In this paper we construct their derived functors in view of the theory of model categories.
The parabolic category $\mathcal{O}$ for affine ${\mathfrak{gl}}_N$ at level $-N-e$ admits a structure of a categorical representation of $\widetilde{\mathfrak{sl}}_e$ with respect to some endofunctors $E$ and $F$. This category contains a smaller category $\mathbf{A}$ that categorifies the higher level Fock space. We prove that the functors $E$ and $F$ in the category $\mathbf{A}$ are Koszul dual to Zuckerman functors. The key point of the proof is to show that the functor $F$ for the category $\mathbf{A}$ at level $-N-e$ can be decomposed in terms of the components of the functor $F$ for the…
We study the category $\mathcal{O}$ for a general Coxeter system using a formulation of Fiebig. The translation functors, the Zuckerman functors and the twisting functors are defined. We prove the fundamental properties of these functors, the duality of Zuckerman functor and generalization of Verma's result about homomorphisms between Verma modules.
We identify the Grothendieck group of certain direct sum of singular blocks of the highest weight category for sl(n) with the n-th tensor power of the fundamental (two-dimensional) sl(2)-module. The action of U(sl(2)) is given by projective functors and the commuting action of the Temperley-Lieb algebra by Zuckerman functors. Indecomposable projective functors correspond to Lusztig canonical basis in U(sl(2)). In the dual realization the n-th tensor power of the fundamental representation is identified with a direct sum of parabolic blocks of the highest weight category. Translation across the…
We discuss recent developments on branching problems of irreducible unitary representations $π$ of real reductive groups when restricted to reductive subgroups. Highlighting the case where the underlying $(g,K)$-modules of $π$ are isomorphic to Zuckerman's derived functor modules $A_q(λ)$, we show various and rich features of branching laws such as infinite multiplicities, irreducible restrictions, multiplicity-free restrictions, and discrete decomposable restrictions. We also formulate a number of conjectures.
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra and $\mathfrak{k}$ be any $\mathrm{sl}(2)$-subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. In this paper we prove an earlier conjecture by Penkov and Zuckerman claiming that the first derived Zuckerman functor provides an equivalence between a truncation of a thick parabolic category $\mathcal{O}$ for $\mathfrak{g}$ and a truncation of the category of admissible $(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{k})-$modules. This latter truncated category consists of admissible $(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{k})-$modules with sufficiently large minimal $\mathfrak{k}$…
We construct a functor valued invariant of oriented tangles on certain singular blocks of category O. Parabolic subcategories of these blocks categorify tensor products of various fundamental sl(k) representations. Projective functors restricted to these categories give rise to a functorial action of the Lie algebra. On the derived category, Zuckerman functors categorify sl(k)- homomorphisms. Cones of natural transformations between the identity functor and Zuckerman functors are assigned to crossings and this assignment satisfies the appropriate relations. On the Grothendieck group, the funct…
Derived functors (or Zuckerman functors) play a very important role in the study of unitary representations of real reductive groups. These functors are usually applied on highest weight modules in the so-called good range and the theory is well-understood. On the other hand, there were several studies on the irreducibility and unitarizability, in which derived functors are applied to singular modules. See Enright et al. (Acta. Math. 1985), for example. In this article, we apply derived functors to certain modules arising from the formalism of local theta lifting, and investigate the irreducib…
Free and cofree equivariant spectra are important classes of equivariant spectra which represent equivariant cohomology theories on free equivariant spaces. Greenlees-Shipley and Pol and the author have given an algebraic model for rational (co)free equivariant spectra. In this paper, we extend this framework by proving that the Quillen functors of induction-restriction-coinduction between categories of (co)free rational equivariant spectra correspond to Quillen functors between the algebraic models in the case of connected compact Lie groups. This is achieved using new abstract techniques reg…
The aim of this paper is to put some recent results of Huang-Pandzic (conjectured by Vogan) and Kostant on Dirac cohomology in a broader perspective.This is achieved by introducing an induction functor in the noncommutative equivariant cohomology. In this context, the results of Huang-Pandzic and Kostant are interpreted as special cases (corresponding to the manifold being a point) of more general results on noncommutative equivariant cohomology introduced by Alekseev-Meinrenken.

We identify the group of homomorphisms $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal{GF}}(F,\mathbf{RU}_{\mathbb Q})$ in the category of ($\operatorname{fin}$)-global functors to the rationalization of the unitary representation ring functor and deduce that the higher $\operatorname{Ext}$-groups $\operatorname{Ext}^n_{\mathcal{GF}}(F,\mathbf{RU}_{\mathbb Q})$, $n\geq 2$ have to vanish. This leads to a rational splitting of the ($\operatorname{fin}$)-global equivariant $K$-theory spectrum into a sum of Eilenberg-MacLane spectra. Interpreted in terms of cohomology theories, it means that the equivariant Chern c…
The paper studies quadratic and Koszul duality for modules over positively graded categories. Typical examples are modules over a path algebra, which is graded by the path length, of a not necessarily finite quiver with relations. We present a very general definition of quadratic and Koszul duality functors backed up by explicit examples. This generalises previous results in two substantial ways: We work in the setup of graded categories, i.e. we allow infinitely many idempotents and also define a ``Koszul'' duality functor for not necessarily Koszul categories. As an illustration of the techn…
We define an affine Jacquet functor and use it to describe the structure of induced affine Harish-Chandra modules at noncritical levels, extending the theorem of Kac and Kazhdan [KK] on the structure of Verma modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand categories O for Kac-Moody algebras. This is combined with a vanishing result for certain extension groups to construct a block decomposition of the categories of affine Harish-Chandra modules of Lian and Zuckerman [LZ]. The latter provides an extension of the works of Rocha-Caridi, Wallach [RW] and Deodhar, Gabber, Kac [DGK] on block decomposition…
A positive level Kazhdan-Lusztig functor is defined using Arkhipov-Gaitsgory duality for affine Lie algebras. The functor sends objects in the DG category of G(O)-equivariant positive level affine Lie algebra modules to objects in the DG category of modules over Lusztig's quantum group at a root of unity. We prove that the semi-infinite cohomology functor for positive level modules factors through the Kazhdan-Lusztig functor at positive level and the quantum group cohomology functor with respect to the positive part of Lusztig's quantum group.
For an adjoint pair $(F, G)$ of functors, we prove that $G$ is a separable functor if and only if the defined monad is separable and the associated comparison functor is an equivalence up to retracts. In this case, under an idempotent completeness condition, the adjoint pair $(F, G)$ is monadic. This applies to the comparison between the derived category of the category of equivariant objects in an abelian category and the category of equivariant objects in the derived category of the abelian category.
We establish Green equivalences for all Mackey 2-functors, without assuming Krull-Schmidt. By running through the examples of Mackey 2-functors, we recover all variants of the Green equivalence and Green correspondence known in representation theory and obtain new ones in several other contexts. Such applications include equivariant stable homotopy theory in topology and equivariant sheaves in geometry.
Let $G$ be a reductive group and $U,U^-$ be the unipotent radicals of a pair of opposite parabolic subgroups $P,P^-$. We prove that the DG-categories of $U(\!(t)\!)$-equivariant and $U^-(\!(t)\!)$-equivariant D-modules on the affine Grassmannian $Gr_G$ are canonically dual to each other. We show that the unit object witnessing this duality is given by nearby cycles on the Drinfeld-Gaitsgory-Vinberg interpolation Grassmannian defined in arXiv:1805.07721. We study various properties of the mentioned nearby cycles, in particular compare them with the nearby cycles studied in arXiv:1411.4206 and a…
