On the relation of Clifford-Lipschitz groups to q-symmetric groups

Abstract

It can be shown that it is possible to find a representation of Hecke algebras within Clifford algebras of multivectors. These Clifford algebras possess a unique gradation and a possibly non-symmetric bilinear form. Hecke algebra representations can be classified, for non-generic q, by Young tableaux of the symmetric group due to the isomorphy of the group algebras for q ->1. Since spinors can be constructed as elements of minimal left (right) ideals obtained by the left (right) action on primitive idempotents, we are able to construct q-spinors from q-Young operators corresponding to the appropriate symmetry type. It turns out that an anti-symmetric part in the Clifford bilinear form is necessary. q-deformed reflections (Hecke generators) can be obtained only for even multivector aggregates rendering this symmetry a composite one. In this construction one is able to deform spin groups only, though not pin groups. The method is closely related to a projective interpretation.

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.
