Quiver Hecke algebras for Borcherds-Cartan datum (Q6105004)

Let \(\mathcal{A}=\mathbb{Z}[q,q^{-1}]\) and let \(_\mathcal{A}U^{-1}\) be the subalgebra of the negative part \(U^{-}\) of the quantum Borcherds algebra associated to a Borcherds-Cartan datum \((I,A,\cdot)\). In the paper under review, the authors apply Khovanov-Lauda's categorification theory to the quantum Borcherds algebras, which were introduced by \textit{S. J. Kang} in [J. Algebra 175, No. 3, 1041--1066 (1995; Zbl 0835.17016)]. Given a Borcherds-Cartan datum consisting of an index set \(I\) and a symmetrizable Borcherds-Cartan matrix \(A=(a_{ij})_{i,j \in I}\), they construct a family of graded algebras \(R(\nu)\) (\(\nu \in \mathbb{N}[I]\)) associated to it. The main result is that there is an \(\mathcal{A}\)-algebra isomorphism \(_\mathcal{A}U^{-} \rightarrow K_{0}(R)\) where \(R=\bigoplus_{\nu \in \mathbb{N}[I]} R(\nu)\) and \(K_{0}(R)\) is the Grothendieck group of the category of finitely generated graded projective \(R\)-modules.
