Abstract

We present a criterion for establishing Morita equivalence of monoidal categories, and apply it to the categorical representation theory of reductive groups GG. We show that the "de Rham group algebra" D(G)\mathcal D(G) (the monoidal category of D\mathcal D-modules on GG) is Morita equivalent to the universal Hecke category D(N\G/N)\mathcal D(N \backslash G/N) and to its monodromic variant D~(B\G/B)\widetilde{\mathcal D}(B \backslash G / B). In other words, de Rham GG-categories, i.e., module categories for D(G)\mathcal D(G), satisfy a "highest weight theorem" - they all appear in the decomposition of the universal principal series representation D(G/N)\mathcal D(G/N) or in twisted D\mathcal D-modules on the flag variety D~(G/B)\widetilde{\mathcal D}(G/B)
