Abstract. We use super q-Howe duality to provide diagrammatic presentations of an idempotented form of the Hecke algebra and of categories of gl N -modules (and, more generally, gl N |M -modules) whose objects are tensor generated by exterior and symmetric powers of the vector representations. As an application, we give a representation theoretic explanation and a diagrammatic version of a known symmetry of colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials.
We study two kinds of categorical traces of (monoidal) dg categories, with particular interest in categories of Soergel bimodules. First, we explicitly compute the usual Hochschild homology, or derived vertical trace, of the category of Soergel bimodules in arbitrary types. Secondly, we introduce the notion of derived horizontal trace of a monoidal dg category and compute the derived horizontal trace of Soergel bimodules in type $A$. As an application we obtain a derived annular Khovanov–Rozansky link invariant with an action of full twist insertion, and thus a categorification of the HOMFLY-PT skein module of the solid torus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
