Diagrammatics for $F_4$

Representation Theory 2025-05-14 v3 Category Theory

Abstract

We define a diagrammatic monoidal category, together with a full and essentially surjective monoidal functor from this category to the category of modules over the exceptional Lie algebra of type F4F_4. In this way, we obtain a set of diagrammatic tools for studying type F4F_4 representation theory that are analogous to those of the oriented and unoriented Brauer categories in classical type.
