Abstract

For any Levi subalgebra of the form l=gll1glldgln\mathfrak{l}=\mathfrak{gl}_{l_{1}}\oplus\dots\oplus\mathfrak{gl}_{l_{d}}\subseteq\mathfrak{gl}_{n} we construct a quotient of the category of annular quantum gln\mathfrak{gl}_{n} webs that is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional representations of quantum l\mathfrak{l} generated by exterior powers of the vector representation. This can be interpreted as an annular version of skew Howe duality, gives a description of the representation category of l\mathfrak{l} by additive idempotent completion, and a web version of the generalized blob algebra.
