Presentations of Categories of Modules using the Cautis-Kamnitzer-Morrison Principle

Abstract

We use duality theorems to obtain presentations of some categories of modules. To derive these presentations we generalize a result of Cautis-Kamnitzer-Morrison [arXiv:1210.6437v4]: Let g\mathfrak{g} be a reductive Lie algebra, and AA an algebra, both over C\mathbb{C}. Consider a (g,A)(\mathfrak{g} , A)-bimodule PP in which (a) PP has a multiplicity free decomposition into irreducible (g,A)(\mathfrak{g} , A)-bimodules. (b) PP is "saturated" i.e. for any irreducible g\mathfrak{g}-module VV, if every weight of VV is a weight of PP, then VV is a submodule of PP. We show that statements (a) and (b) are necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an isomorphism of categories between the full subcategory of RepA\mathcal{R}ep A whose objects are g\mathfrak{g}-weight spaces of PP, and a quotient of the category version of Lusztig's idempotented form, U˙g\dot{{\mathcal{U}}} \mathfrak{g}, formed by setting to zero all morphisms factoring through a collection of objects in U˙g\dot{{\mathcal{U}}} \mathfrak{g} depending on PP. This is essentially a categorical version of the identification of generalized Schur algebras with quotients of Lusztig's idempotented forms given by Doty in [arXiv:math/0305208]. Applied to Schur-Weyl Duality we obtain a diagrammatic presentation of the full subcategory of RepSd\mathcal{R}ep S_d whose objects are direct sums of permutation modules, as well as an explicit description of the \otimes-product of morphisms between permutation modules. Applied to Brauer-Schur-Weyl Duality we obtain diagrammatic presentations of subcategories of RepBd(2n)\mathcal{R}ep \mathcal{B}_{d}^{(- 2n)} and RepBr,s(n)\mathcal{R}ep \mathcal{B}_{r,s}^{(n)} whose Karoubi completion is the whole of RepBd(2n)\mathcal{R}ep \mathcal{B}_{d}^{(- 2n)} and RepBr,s(n)\mathcal{R}ep \mathcal{B}_{r,s}^{(n)} respectively.
