Quantum Webs of Type Q

Webs are combinatorial diagrams used to encode homomorphisms between representations of Lie (super)algebras and related objects. This paper extends the theory of webs to the quantum group of type Q. We define a monoidal supercategory of quantum type Q webs and show it admits a full, essentially surjective functor onto the monoidal supercategory of $U_q(\mathfrak{q}_n)$-modules generated by the quantum symmetric powers of the natural representation and their duals. We also show that a certain subcategory of the web category is a ribbon category and discuss applications to the representation theory of $U_q(\mathfrak{q}_n)$ and to invariants of oriented, framed links.

Webs for permutation supermodules of type Q

We give a diagrammatic calculus for the intertwiners between permutation supermodules over the Sergeev superalgebra. We also give a diagrammatic basis for the space of intertwiners between two permutation supermodules.

Webs of type Q

We introduce web supercategories of type Q. We describe the structure of these categories and show they have a symmetric braiding. The main result of the paper shows these diagrammatically defined monoidal supercategories provide combinatorial models for the monoidal supercategories generated by the supersymmetric tensor powers of the natural supermodule for the Lie superalgebra of type Q.
