Abstract

We define Schur categories, ΓdC\Gamma^d \mathcal C, associated to a k\Bbbk-linear category C\mathcal C, over a commutative ring k\Bbbk. The corresponding representation categories, repΓdC\mathbf{rep}\, \Gamma^d\mathcal C, generalize categories of strict polynomial functors. Given a k\Bbbk-superalgebra AA, we show that for certain categories V=VA\mathcal{V} = \boldsymbol{\mathcal V}_A, EA\boldsymbol{\mathcal E}_A of AA-supermodules, there is a Morita equivalence between repΓdV\mathbf{rep}\, \Gamma^d\mathcal{V} and the category of supermodules over a generalized Schur superalgebra of the form SA(mn,d)S^A(m|n,d) and SA(n,d)S^A(n,d), respectively. We also describe a formulation of generalized Schur-Weyl duality from the viewpoint of the category repΓdEA\mathbf{rep}\, \Gamma^d \boldsymbol{\mathcal E}_A.
