A braid group action on an \(A_\infty\)-category for zigzag algebras (Q6964074)

This paper extends the framework of categorical braid group actions on zigzag algebras by constructing differential graded enhancements and computing their Koszul duals. The authors develop a minimal \(A_\infty\)-structure on the zigzag algebra and prove that it is not formal, thereby contradicting earlier expectations based on different gradings. They further establish that this \(A_\infty\)-structure supports a derived braid group action and propose an interpretation in the context of symplectic topology and the program initiated by \textit{L. Crane} and \textit{I. B. Frenkel} [J. Math. Phys. 35, No. 10, 5136--5154 (1994; Zbl 0892.57014)]. The work integrates methods from homological and higher algebra and builds on previous results by \textit{M. Khovanov} and \textit{Y. Qi} [Quantum Topol. 6, No. 2, 185--311 (2015; Zbl 1352.81038)] on \(p\)-differential structures. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1567.20005].
