Truncated shifted Yangians are a family of algebras which naturally quantize slices in the affine Grassmannian. These algebras depend on a choice of two weights λ and μ for a Lie algebra frakturg, which we will assume is simply laced. In this paper, we relate the category scriptO over truncated shifted Yangians to categorified tensor products: For a generic integral choice of parameters, category scriptO is equivalent to a weight space in the categorification of a tensor product of fundamental representations defined by the third author using KLRW algebras. We also give a precise description of category scriptO for arbitrary parameters using a new algebra which we call the parity KLRW algebra. In particular, we confirm the conjecture of the authors that the highest weights of category scriptO are in canonical bijection with a product monomial crystal depending on the choice of parameters.
This work also has interesting applications to classical representation theory. In particular, it allows us to give a classification of simple Gelfand–Tsetlin modules of U(frakturgln) and its associated W‐algebras.
