Tensor product categorifications, Verma modules and the blob 2-category (Q2247194)

Summary: We construct a dg-enhancement of KLRW algebras that categorifies the tensor product of a universal \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\) Verma module and several integrable irreducible modules. When the integrable modules are two-dimensional, we construct a categorical action of the blob algebra on derived categories of these dg-algebras which intertwines the categorical action of \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\). From the above we derive a categorification of the blob algebra.
