A diagrammatic approach to reflection functors

Representation Theory 2025-12-23 v3

Abstract

We construct reflection functors for quiver Hecke algebras associated with arbitrary symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras, from a higher representation-theoretic viewpoint. These functors provide a categorification of Lusztig's braid group action on the quantum group. Similar functors were recently constructed independently by Kashiwara-Kim-Oh-Park via a different approach. Moreover, we prove that our reflection functors satisfy the braid relations as natural isomorphisms.
