Lectures on algebraic categorification
The book presents fifteen lectures given by the author and provides a readable introduction to examples of categorification. One driving force to categorify mathematical structures was the idea of Khovanov who gave a new interpretation of the Jones-Kauffman polynomial in terms of categories. The prototype of categorification can be seen in representing a group as the Grothendieck group of a suitable additive or triangulated category. Pursuing such a program in detail soon leads to the detection of higher structures which, lurking everywhere behind the scene, flavours the subject with excitement -- and complication. In the present text, written for master students, the author manages to avoid the technicalities inevitable for any deeper embarkment upon the project. The first three chapters give a smooth introduction into the basic setup, including a brief account of two-categories and cell structures. The main body of the book deals with the category \(\mathcal{O}\) and its various aspects. It contains a reformulation of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture, provides a categorification of Hecke algebras, cell modules, and similar objects, and contains a few remarks on Koszul duality. Some chapters deal with the quantum group of \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\) and its finite-dimensional representations, Khovanov's categorification of the Jones polynomial by means of complexes of graded vector spaces, and \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\)-categorification in the sense of Chuang and Rouquier. Broué's conjecture and Kostant's problem are discussed in this context. The booklet concludes with a number of exercises and a good selection of literature for further study.
