Hall monoidal categories and categorical modules
Abstract
We construct so called Hall monoidal categories (and Hall modules thereover) and exhibit them as a categorification of classical Hall and Hecke algebras (and certain modules thereover). The input of the (functorial!) construction are simplicial groupoids satisfying the -Segal conditions (as introduced by Dyckerhoff and Kapranov), the main examples come from Waldhausen's S-construction. To treat the case of modules, we introduce a relative version of the -Segal conditions. Furthermore, we generalize a classical result about the representation theory of symmetric groups to the case of wreath product groups: We construct a monoidal equivalence between the category of complex -representations (for a fixed finite group and varying ) and the category of "-equivariant" polynomial functors; we use this equivalence to prove a version of Schur-Weyl duality for wreath products.
