Abstract

We show that the monodromy of the trigonometric Casimir connection on the tensor product of evaluation modules of the Yangian Ysl_2 is described by the quantum Weyl group operators of the quantum loop algebra U_h(Lsl_2). The proof is patterned on the second author's computation of the monodromy of the rational Casimir connection for sl_n via the dual pair (gl_k,gl_n), and rests ultimately on the Etingof-Geer-Schiffmann computation of the monodromy of the trigonometric KZ connection. It relies on two new ingredients: an affine extension of the duality between the R-matrix of U_h(sl_k) and the quantum Weyl group element of U_h(sl_2), and a formula expressing the quantum Weyl group action of the coroot lattice of SL_2 in terms of the commuting generators of U_h(Lsl_2). Using this formula, we define quantum Weyl group operators for the quantum loop algebra U_h(Lgl_2) and show that they describe the monodromy of the trigonometric Casimir connection on a tensor product of evaluation modules of the Yangian Ygl_2

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.
