Superalgebra deformations of web categories: finite webs

Publication date: 8 February 2023

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b k

be a characteristic zero domain. For a locally unital

m a t h b b k

-superalgebra

A

with distinguished idempotents

I

and even subalgebra

, we define and study an associated diagrammatic monoidal

m a t h b b k

-linear supercategory

m a t h b f {W e b}_{I}^{A, a}

. This supercategory yields a diagrammatic description of the generalized Schur algebras

T_{a}^{A} (n, d)

. We also show there is an asymptotically faithful functor from

m a t h b f {W e b}_{I}^{A, a}

to the monoidal supercategory of

m a t h f r a k {g l}_{n} (A)

-modules generated by symmetric powers of the natural module. When this functor is full, the single diagrammatic supercategory

m a t h b f {W e b}_{I}^{A, a}

provides a combinatorial description of this module category for all

n g e q 1

. We also use these results to establish Howe dualities between

m a t h f r a k {g l}_{m} (A)

and

m a t h f r a k {g l}_{n} (A)

when

A

is semisimple.
