On Soergel bimodules

Representation Theory 2020-09-23 v3

Abstract

For a Coxeter system and a representation VV of this Coxeter system, Soergel defined a category which is now called the category of Soergel bimodules and proved that this gives a categorification of the Hecke algebra when VV is reflection faithful. Elias and Williamson defined another category even when VV is not reflection faithful and they proved that this category is equivalent to the category of Soergel bimodules when VV is reflection faithful. Moreover they proved the categorification theorem for their category with less assumptions on VV. In this paper, we give a "bimodule theoretic" definition of the category of Elias-Williamson and reprove the categorification theorem.
