Deligne categories and the limit of categories $Rep(GL(m|n))$

Abstract

For each integer tt a tensor category VtV_t is constructed, such that exact tensor functors VtCV_t \longrightarrow C classify dualizable tt-dimensional objects in CC not annihilated by any Schur functor. This means that VtV_t is the "abelian envelope" of the Deligne category Rep(GLt)Rep(GL_t). Any tensor functor Rep(GLt)CRep(GL_t)\longrightarrow C is proved to factor either through VtV_t or through one of the classical categories Rep(GL(mn))Rep(GL(m|n)) with mn=tm-n=t. The universal property of VtV_t implies that it is equivalent to the categories RepRep(GLt1)Rep(GLt2)(GL(X),ϵ)Rep_{Rep(GL_{t_1})\otimes Rep(GL_{t_2})}(GL(X),\epsilon), (t=t1+t2t=t_1+t_2, t1t_1 not integer) suggested by Deligne as candidates for the role of abelian envelope.
