We construct geometric categorical Lie algebra actions on the derived category of coherent sheaves on Nakajima quiver varieties. These actions categorify Nakajima's construction of Kac-Moody algebra representations on the K-theory of quiver…

We argue that various braid group actions on triangulated categories should be extended to projective actions of the category of braid cobordisms and illustrate how this works in examples. We also construct actions of both the affine braid…
This paper gives a construction of braid group actions on the derived category of coherent sheaves on a variety $X$. The motivation for this is Kontsevich's homological mirror conjecture, together with the occurrence of certain braid group…
We construct categorical braid group actions from 2-representations of a Heisenberg algebra. These actions are induced by certain complexes which generalize spherical (Seidel-Thomas) twists and are reminiscent of the Rickard complexes…
Using a quiver algebra of a cyclic quiver, we construct a faithful categorical action of the extended braid group of affine type A on its bounded homotopy category of finitely generated projective modules. The algebra is trigraded and we…
A construction of braid group actions on coherent sheaves using mixed Hodge modules and some well known constructions from geometric representation theory is given.
We introduce the concept of a geometric categorical sl(2) action and relate it to that of a strong categorical sl(2) action. The latter is a special kind of 2-representation in the sense of Rouquier. The main result is that a geometric…
We construct a categorification of the braid groups associated with Coxeter groups inside the homotopy category of Soergel's bimodules. Classical actions of braid groups on triangulated categories should come from an action of this monoidal…
We construct an action of a braid group associated to a complete graph on the derived category of a certain symmetric Nakayama algebra which is also a Brauer star algebra with no exceptional vertex. We connect this action with the affine…

In the present paper we construct braid group actions on quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras of type AIII/AIV. This completes the proof of a conjecture by Kolb and Pellegrini in the case where the underlying Lie algebra is…
Given a vector space with an action of a semi-simple Lie algebra, we can try to "categorify" this representation, which means finding a category where the generators of the Lie algebra act by functors. Such categorical representations arise…
We construct a 2-representation categorifying the symmetric Howe representation of $\mathfrak{gl}_m$ using a deformation of an algebra introduced by Webster. As a consequence, we obtain a categorical braid group action taking values in a…
We give a description of certain categories of equivariant coherent sheaves on Grothendieck's resolution in terms of the categorical affine Hecke algebra of Soergel. As an application, we deduce a relationship of these coherent sheaf…
Khovanov and Thomas constructed a categorical action of the braid group $Br_n$ on the derived category $D(T^* Fl_n)$ of coherent sheaves on the cotangent bundle of the variety $Fl_n$ of the complete flags in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In this paper,…
We construct braid group actions on coideal subalgebras of quantized enveloping algebras which appear in the theory of quantum symmetric pairs. In particular, we construct an action of the semidirect product of Z^n and the classical braid…
We construct a p-DG structure on an algebra Koszul dual to a zigzag algebra used by Khovanov and Seidel to construct a categorical braid group action. We show there is a braid group action in this p-DG setting.
We construct a finite dimensional quiver algebra from the non-simply laced type $B$ Dynkin diagram, which we call the type $B$ zigzag algebra. This leads to a faithful categorical action of the type $B$ braid group $\mathcal{A}(B)$, acting…
We lift the lattice of translations in the extended affine Weyl group to a braid group action on the quantum affine algebra. This action fixes the Heisenberg subalgebra pointwise. Loop like generators are found for the algebra which satisfy…
