Quasi-particles in the principal picture of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}$ and Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities

Abstract

In their seminal work J. Lepowsky and R. L. Wilson gave a vertex-operator theoretic interpretation of Gordon-Andrews-Bressoud's generalization of Rogers-Ramanujan combinatorial identities, by constructing bases of vacuum spaces for the principal Heisenberg subalgebra of standard $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}$-modules, parametrized with partitions satisfying certain difference 2 conditions. In this paper we define quasi-particles in the principal picture of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}$ and construct quasi-particle monomial bases of standard $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}$-modules for which principally specialized characters are given as products of sum sides of the corresponding analytic Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities with the character of the Fock space for the principal Heisenberg subalgebra.

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.
