We introduce generalizations of Kac-Moody 2-categories in which the quiver Hecke algebras of Khovanov, Lauda and Rouquier are replaced by the quiver Hecke superalgebras of Kang, Kashiwara and Tsuchioka.

We construct a 2-category associated with a Kac-Moody algebra and we study its 2-representations. This generalizes earlier work with Chuang for type A. We relate categorifications relying on K_0 properties and 2-representations.

We introduce a new family of graded 2-categories generalizing the 2-quantum groups introduced by Khovanov, Lauda and Rouquier. We use them to categorify quasi-split iquantum groups in all symmetric types.

In the literature, one finds several competing notions for the super (i.e., Z/2-graded) analog of a monoidal category. The goal of this paper is to clarify these definitions and the connections between them. We also discuss in detail the…

Given a strong 2-representation of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra (in the sense of Rouquier) we show how to extend it to a 2-representation of categorified quantum groups (in the sense of Khovanov-Lauda). This involves checking certain extra…

We generalize the notion of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra to the setting of Deligne Categories. Then we derive the Kac-Weyl formula for the category $\mathcal{O}$ integrable representations for such an algebra. This paper generalizes results of…

We produce graded monoidal categorifications of the quantum boson algebras in any symmetrizable Kac-Moody type. Our categories are defined in terms of diagrammatic generators and relations and have a faithful 2-representation on…

We show that any Abelian module category over the (degenerate or quantum) Heisenberg category satisfying suitable finiteness conditions may be viewed as a 2-representation over a corresponding Kac-Moody 2-category (and vice versa). This…

We study a presentation of Khovanov - Lauda - Rouquier's candidate $2$-categorification of a quantum group using algebraic rewriting methods. We use a computational approach based on rewriting modulo the isotopy axioms of its pivotal…

We review the complete definition of monoidal 2-categories and recover Kapranov and Voevodsky's definition from the algebraic definition of weak 3-category(or tricategory).

We prove odd analogs of results of Chuang and Rouquier on sl(2)-categorification. Combined also with recent work of the second author with Livesey, this allows us to complete the proof of Brou\'e's Abelian Defect Conjecture for the double…

We classify (multi)fusion 2-categories in terms of braided fusion categories and group cohomological data. This classification is homotopy coherent -- we provide an equivalence between the 3-groupoid of (multi)fusion 2-categories up to…

We construct a 2-functor from the Kac-Moody 2-category for the extended quantum affine sl(3) to the homotopy 2-category of bounded chain complexes with values in the Kac-Moody 2-category for quantum gl(3), categorifying the evaluation map…

This is a condensed overview of the formal theory of monads in a 2-category. We also define two double categories of monads in a 2-category, extending Lack and Street's 2-categories of monads.

This is an expository article developing some aspects of the theory of categorical actions of Kac-Moody algebras in the spirit of works of Chuang-Rouquier, Khovanov-Lauda, Webster, and many others.

In this paper, we prove Khovanov-Lauda's cyclotomic categorification conjecture for all symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. Let $U_q(g)$ be the quantum group associated with a symmetrizable Cartan datum and let $V(\Lambda)$ be the irreducible…

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 extend the definition of the Saito reflection functor of the Khovanov- Lauda-Rouquier algebras to symmetric Kac-Moody algebra case and prove that it defines a monoidal functor.
