Towards interpolating categories for equivariant map algebras

Using the language of string diagrams, we define categorical generalizations of modules for map algebras $\mathfrak{g} \otimes A$ and equivariant map algebras $(\mathfrak{g} \otimes A)^\Gamma$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Lie algebra, $A$ is a commutative associative algebra, and $\Gamma$ is an abelian group acting on $\mathfrak{g}$ and $A$. After establishing some properties of these modules, we present several examples of how our definitions can applied in various diagrammatic categories. In particular, we use the oriented Brauer category OB to construct a candidate interpolating category for the categories of $\mathfrak{gl}_n \otimes k[t]$-modules.

Affine Frobenius Brauer Categories

We define the affine Frobenius Brauer categories associated to each symmetric involutive Frobenius superalgebra $A$. We then define an action of these categories on the categories of finite-dimensional supermodules for orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras defined over $A$. When $A$ is the base field, we recover the previously-studied affine Brauer category; for other choices of $A$, the categories are novel. Finally, we state a conjecture for bases of homomorphism spaces in affine Frobenius Brauer categories, and outline a potential proof strategy.

Diagrammatics for real supergroups

We introduce two families of diagrammatic monoidal supercategories. The first family, depending on an associative superalgebra, generalizes the oriented Brauer category. The second, depending on an involutive superalgebra, generalizes the unoriented Brauer category. These two families of supercategories admit natural superfunctors to supercategories of supermodules over general linear supergroups and supergroups preserving superhermitian forms, respectively. We show that these superfunctors are full when the superalgebra is a central real division superalgebra. As a consequence, we obtain first fundamental theorems of invariant theory for all real forms of the general linear, orthosymplectic, periplectic, and isomeric supergroups. We also deduce equivalences between monoidal supercategories of tensor supermodules over the real forms of a complex supergroup.
