A categorification of the skew Howe action on a representation category of $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n))$
Using quantum skew-Howe duality, we study the category $\operatorname{Rep}(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n))$ of tensor products of exterior powers of the standard representation of $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n))$, and…
Annular Evaluation and Link Homology
We use categorical annular evaluation to give a uniform construction of both $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ and HOMFLYPT Khovanov-Rozansky link homology, as well as annular versions of these theories. Variations…
Categorified Young symmetrizers and stable homology of torus links II
We construct complexes $$P_{1^{n}}$$P1n of Soergel bimodules which categorify the Young idempotents corresponding to one-column partitions. A beautiful recent conjecture (Flag Hilbert schemes,…
Symmetric webs, Jones-Wenzl recursions and $q$-Howe duality
We define and study the category of symmetric $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-webs. This category is a combinatorial description of the category of all finite dimensional quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-modules.…
Khovanov homology is a skew Howe 2-representation of categorified quantum sl(m)
We show that Khovanov homology (and its sl(3) variant) can be understood in the context of higher representation theory. Specifically, we show that the combinatorially defined foam constructions of…
Symmetric Khovanov-Rozansky link homologies
We provide a finite dimensional categorification of the symmetric evaluation of $\mathfrak{sl}_N$-webs using foam technology. As an output we obtain a symmetric link homology theory categorifying the…
Mixed quantum skew Howe duality and link invariants of type A
2-Verma modules and the Khovanov–Rozansky link homologies
For a particular choice of parabolic subalgebra of $\mathfrak{gl}_{2n}$ we construct a parabolic 2-Verma module and use it to give a construction of Khovanov-Rozansky's HOMFLY-PT and…
Quantum K-theoretic geometric Satake: the $\operatorname{SL}_{n}$ case
The geometric Satake correspondence gives an equivalence of categories between the representations of a semisimple group $G$ and the spherical perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian $Gr$ of its…
Diagrammatics for representation categories of quantum Lie superalgebras from skew Howe duality and categorification via foams
In this thesis we generalise quantum skew Howe duality to Lie superalgebras in type A, and show how this gives a categorification of certain representation categories of $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$. In…

This paper contains a categorification of the ${\frak sl}(k)$ link invariant using parabolic singular blocks of category ${\cal{O}}$. Our approach is intended to be as elementary as possible,…

sl.N/-link homology (N 4) using foams and the Kapustin-Li formula
We use foams to give a topological construction of a rational link homology categorifying the slN link invariant, for N>3. To evaluate closed foams we use the Kapustin-Li formula adapted to foams by…

TLDR
It is proved that the homotopy type of this chain complex is invariant under Reidemeister moves and decategorifies to the Reshetikhin-Turaev sl(N) polynomial of links colored by exterior powers of the defining representation.
THE sl3-WEB ALGEBRA
In this paper we use Kuperberg's sl3-webs and Khovanov's sl3-foams to define a new algebra K S , which we call the sl3-web algebra. It is the sl3 analogue of Khovanov's arc algebra. We prove that K S…
