چکیده
sl 3-Foams and the Khovanov-Lauda categorification of quantum sl k. Abstract In this paper I define certain interesting 2-functors from the Khovanov-Lauda 2-category which categorifies quantum sl k , for any k > 1, to a 2-category of universal sl 3 foams with corners. For want of a better name I use the term foamation to indicate those 2-functors. I conjecture the existence of similar 2-functors to the 2-category of sl n foams with corners, for any n > 1.

A diagrammatic approach to categorification of quantum groups I
To each graph without loops and multiple edges we assign a family of rings. Categories of projective modules over these rings categorify U − q (g), where g is the Kac-Moody Lie algebra associated with the graph.
متن کاملA Prehistory of n-Categorical Physics
This paper traces the growing role of categories and n-categories in physics, starting with groups and their role in relativity, and leading up to more sophisticated concepts which manifest themselves in Feynman diagrams, spin networks, string theory, loop quantum gravity, and topological quantum field theory. Our chronology ends around 2000, with just a taste of later developments such as open...
متن کاملDERIVED REPRESENTATION THEORY AND STABLE HOMOTOPY CATEGORIFICATION OF slk
We set up foundations of representation theory over S, the stable sphere, which is the “initial ring” of stable homotopy theory. In particular, we treat S-Lie algebras and their representations, characters, gln(S)-Verma modules and their duals, HarishChandra pairs and Zuckermann functors. As an application, we construct a Khovanov slk-stable homotopy type with a large prime hypothesis, which is...

L. Kauffman introduced a graphical link invariant which is the normalized Jones polynomial [4][5]. It is well-known that the polynomial is derived from the fundamental representation of the quantum group Uq(sl2). Further, G. Kuperberg constructed a graphical link invariant associated with the fundamental representation of the quantum group Uq(sl3) [10]. H. Murakami, T. Ohtsuki and S. Yamada int...
متن کاملRepresentation Theory of Symmetric Groups and Related Hecke Algebras
We survey some fundamental trends in representation theory of symmetric groups and related objects which became apparent in the last fifteen years. The emphasis is on connections with Lie theory via categorification. We present results on branching rules and crystal graphs, decomposition numbers and canonical bases, graded representation theory, connections with cyclotomic and affine Hecke alge...
