We prove a conjecture of L\^{e} and Sikora by providing a comparison between various existing $SL_n$ skein theories. While doing so, we show that the full subcategory of the spider category, $\mathcal{S}p(SL_n)$, defined by…

We define a ribbon category $\mathsf{Sp}(\beta)$, depending on a parameter $\beta$, which encompasses Cautis, Kamnitzer and Morrison's spider category, and describes for $\beta=m-n$ the monoidal category of representations of…

In this paper we use colored sl(N)-matrix factorizations, due to Wu and Y.Y., in order to categorify part of the quantum skew Howe duality defined by Cautis, Kamnitzer and Morrison. In particular, we define web categories and…

We introduce web supercategories of type Q. We describe the structure of these categories and show they have a symmetric braiding. The main result of the paper shows these diagrammatically defined monoidal supercategories provide…

We give a diagrammatic presentation in terms of generators mod relations of the representation category of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$. More precisely, we produce all the relations among $\rm{SL}_n$-webs, thus describing the full subcategory…

Given a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we can represent invariants of tensor products of fundamental representations of the quantum enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ using particular directed graphs called webs. In particular…

Webs are combinatorial diagrams used to encode homomorphisms between representations of Lie (super)algebras and related objects. This paper extends the theory of webs to the quantum group of type Q. We define a monoidal supercategory of…

We study webs in quantum type $C$, focusing on the rank three case. We define a linear pivotal category $\mathbf{Web}(\mathfrak{sp}_6)$ diagrammatically by generators and relations, and conjecture that it is equivalent to the category…

In this paper, which is a follow-up to my paper with Yonezawa "sl(N)-web categories", I define and study sl(N)-web algebras for any N greater than one. For N=2 these algebras are isomorphic to Khovanov's arc algebras and for N=3 they are…

We provide a natural geometric setting for symmetric Howe duality. This is realized as a (loop) sl(n) action on derived categories of coherent sheaves on certain varieties arising in the geometry of the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian. The…

Webs are planar graphs with boundary that describe morphisms in a diagrammatic representation category for $\mathfrak{sl}_k$. They are studied extensively by knot theorists because braiding maps provide a categorical way to express link…

The Hecke algebras for all symmetric groups taken together form a braided monoidal category that controls all quantum link invariants of type A and, by extension, the standard canon of topological quantum field theories in dimension 3 and…

We define web categories describing intertwiners for the orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras, and, in the quantized setup, for certain orthogonal and symplectic coideal subalgebras. They generalize the Brauer category, and allow us to…

The long hunt for a symmetric monoidal category of spectra finally ended in success with the simultaneous discovery of the third author's discovery of symmetric spectra and the Elmendorf-Kriz-Mandell-May category of S-modules. In this paper…

By considering a suitable renormalization of the Temperley--Lieb category, we study its specialization to the case $q=0$. Unlike the $q\neq 0$ case, the obtained monoidal category, $\mathcal{TL}_0(\Bbbk)$, is not rigid or braided. We…

We use super $q$-Howe duality to provide diagrammatic presentations of an idempotented form of the Hecke algebra and of categories of $\mathfrak{gl}_N$-modules (and, more generally, $\mathfrak{gl}_{N|M}$-modules) whose objects are tensor…

Within the framework of braided or quasisymmetric monoidal categories braided Q-supersymmetry is investigated, where Q is a certain functorial isomorphism in a braided symmetric monoidal category. For an ordinary (co-)quasitriangular Hopf…

We categorify the notion of an infinitesimal braiding in a linear strict symmetric monoidal category, leading to the notion of a (strict) infinitesimal 2-braiding in a linear symmetric strict monoidal 2-category. We describe the associated…

A laycle is the categorical analogue of a lazy cocycle. Twines (as introduced by Bruguieres) and strong twines (as introduced by the authors) are laycles satisfying some extra conditions. If $c$ is a braiding, the double braiding $c^2$ is…

It is well known that braided monoidal categories are the categorical algebras of the little two-dimensional disks operad. We introduce involutive little disks operads, which are Z/2Z-orbifold versions of the little disks operads. We…
