NILCOXETER ALGEBRAS CATEGORIFY THE WEYL ALGEBRA (Q2764484)

In the paper under review the author considers \(\mathbb{Q}\)-algebras \(A_n\) for any \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) as the algebra generated by symbols \(Y_1,\dots,Y_{n-1}\) with relations being the braid relations and additionally that the generators are nilpotent of degree 2. The author constructs moreover \(A_n\otimes A_{n+1}\) modules \(D_n\) as well as \(A_{n+1}\otimes A_n\) modules \(X_n\) so that tensor product with these bimodules yield operators \(F_X\) and \(F_D\) on the sum of the categories of \(A_n\)-modules. They satisfy the Weyl-algebra relations \(F_XF_D\oplus\text{id}\simeq F_DF_X\). Moreover \(F_X\) is left adjoint to \(F_D\) and right adjoint to some conjugate version of \(F_D\). Finally the author defines multiplication and comultiplication maps in this sum of module categories satisfying some coherence relations.
