      The paper under review gives a method, based on the higher representation theory of \(U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{\infty})\), for categorifying all the Reshetikhin-Turaev tangle invariants associated to \(\mathfrak{sl}_m\). The main tool used in the paper is skew Howe duality and the key technical construction is a categorification of the Jones-Wenzl projectors and their generalizations called clasps as infinite twists.
