Braided and coboundary monoidal categories

Abstract: In this expository paper, we discuss and compare the notions of braided and coboundary monoidal categories. Coboundary monoidal categories are analogues of braided monoidal categories in which the role of the braid group is replaced by the cactus group. We focus on the categories of representations of quantum groups and crystals and explain how while the former is a braided monoidal category, this structure does not pass to the crystal limit. However, the categories of representations of quantum groups of finite type also possess the structure of a coboundary category which does behave well in the crystal limit. We explain this construction and also a recent interpretation of the coboundary structure using quiver varieties. This geometric viewpoint allows one to show that the category of crystals is in fact a coboundary monoidal category for arbitrary symmetrizable Kac-Moody type.
