Abstract

The Cartan subalgebra of the sl2 quantum affine algebra is generated by a family of mutually commuting operators, responsible for the l-weight decomposition of finite dimensional modules. The natural Jordan filtration induced by these operators is generically non-trivial on l-weight spaces of dimension greater than one. We derive, for every standard module of quantum affine sl2, the dimensions of the Jordan grades and prove that they can be directly read off from the t-dependence of the q,t-characters introduced by Nakajima. To do so we construct explicit bases for the standard modules with respect to which the Cartan generators are upper-triangular. The basis vectors of each l-weight space are labelled by the elements of a ranked poset from the family L(m,n).

On Diagrammatic Categorification of Verma Modules I: Braiding

In this paper, we study the extensions of KLRW algebras to tensor products of Verma module representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. Our motivation is to construct a theory of Khovanov homology for knot complements in $S^3$ (and which also categorifies the Gukov-Manolescu two-variable series for knot complements), which will be done in the second part of this work. We construct the categorification of R-matrices for Verma modules as functors given by derived tensor products with diagrammatic bimodules and explicitly compute their projective resolutions. We also prove these braiding functors induce an action of the braid group on the relevant categories. Then, we describe how to incorporate strands in finite-dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$, thereby establishing functors that serve as the Khovanov homology on a braid complement. In the case of the unknot, this gives knot homologies in $S^1\times D^2$, which we compare to Annular Khovanov Homology through several examples and show they are very closely related, conjecturing they are of the same dimension. We conclude with a proposal for the categorification of the cups and caps of Verma module colored strands, which we build upon in the next paper.

Some finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A

In this paper, we study finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A. We give an explicit description of the tensor product of simple evaluation modules of the quantum loop algebra and a one-dimensional representation of the shifted quantum affine algebra under the separation condition. As a consequence, we give the q-characters of some finite dimensional simple modules of the shifted quantum affine algebra.
