Twisted Internal coHom Objects in the Category of Quantum Spaces

Abstract

Adapting the idea of twisted tensor products to the category of finitely generated algebras, we define on its opposite, the category QLS of quantum linear spaces, a family of objects hom(B,A)^{op}, one for each pair A^{op},B^{op} there, with analogous properties to its internal Hom ones, but representing spaces of transformations whose coordinate rings hom(B,A) and the ones of their respective domains B^{op} do not commute among themselves. The mentioned non commutativity is controlled by a collection of twisting maps τ_{A,B}. We show that the (bi)algebras end(A)=hom(A,A), under certain circumstances, are 2-cocycle twistings of the quantum semigroups end(A) in the untwisted case. This fact generalizes the twist equivalence (at a semigroup level) between, for instance, the quantum groups GL_{q}(n) and their multiparametric versions GL_{q,ϕ}(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.
