Abstract: We build extensions of the arc rings, relate their centers to the cohomology rings of the Springer varieties, and categorify all level two representations of quantum sl(N).

Review text

In the paper under review, the author gives a categorification of level two representations of the quantum group \(U_q(sl_N)\), the quantized enveloping algebra of \(sl_N\). A level two representation is an irreducible representation with highest weight \(\omega_s+\omega_{k+s}\), where \(\omega_i\) is the highest weight of the \(i\)th exterior power of the defining representation. Planar crossingless matchings are used to construct the arc rings \(A^{k, l}_n\), which lead to a tangle invariant that is functorial under tangle cobordism. Level two representations of \(U_q(sl_N)\) are categorified by the rings \(A^{k, 0}_n\).
