Abstract: In recent years different aspects of categorification of the boson-fermion correspondence have been studied. In this paper we propose a categorification of the boson-fermion correspondence based on the category of tensor modules of the Lie algebra $sl(infty)$ of finitary infinite matrices. By $mathbb{T}^{+}$ we denote the category of "polynomial" tensor $sl(infty)$-modules. There is a natural "creation" functor $mathcal{T}_N:mathbb{T}^{+}omathbb{T}^{+}$, $MmapstoNotimesM,quadM,Ninmathbb{T}^{+}$. The key idea of the paper is to employ the entire category $mathbbT$ of tensor $sl(infty)$-modules in order to define the "annihilation" functor $mathcal{D}_N:mathbb{T}^{+}omathbb{T}^{+}$ corresponding to $mathcal{T}_N$. We show that the relations allowing to express fermions via bosons arise from relations in the cohomology of complexes of linear endofunctors on $mathbb{T}^{+}$.
