We study generalized Deligne categories and related tensor envelopes for the universal two-dimensional cobordism theories described by rational functions, recently defined by Sazdanovic and one of the authors.
This is the first part of a series of two papers aiming to construct a categorification of the braiding on tensor products of Verma modules, and in particular of the Lawrence--Krammer--Bigelow representations. In this part, we categorify all tensor products of Verma modules and integrable modules for quantum $mathfrak{sl_2}$. The categorification is given by derived categories of
It is proved that any vertex operator algebra for which the image of the Virasoro element in Zhus algebra is algebraic over complex numbers is finitely generated. In particular, any vertex operator algebra with a finite dimensional Zhus algebra is finitely generated. As a result, any rational vertex operator algebra is finitely generated.
We consider the finite generation property for cohomology of a finite tensor category C, which requires that the self-extension algebra of the unit Ext*_C(1,1) is a finitely generated algebra and that, for each object V in C, the graded extension group Ext*_C(1,V) is a finitely generated module over the aforementioned algebra. We prove that this cohomological finiteness property is preserved under duality (with respect to exact module categories) and taking the Drinfeld center, under suitable restrictions on C. For example, the stated result holds when C is a braided tensor category of odd Frobenius-Perron dimension. By applying our general results, we obtain a number of new examples of finite tensor categories with finitely generated cohomology. In characteristic 0, we show that dynamical quantum groups at roots of unity have finitely generated cohomology. We also provide a new class of examples in finite characteristic which are constructed via infinitesimal group schemes.
We generalize a construction in [BW18] (arXiv:1610.09271) by showing that the tensor product of a based $textbf{U}^{imath}$-module and a based $textbf{U}$-module is a based $textbf{U}^{imath}$-module. This is then used to formulate a Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for an arbitrary parabolic BGG category $mathcal{O}$ of the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebras, extending a main result in [BW13] (arXiv:1310.0103).
In this paper, we continue the study on toroidal vertex algebras initiated in cite{LTW}, to study concrete toroidal vertex algebras associated to toroidal Lie algebra $L_{r}(hat{frak{g}})=hat{frak{g}}otimes L_r$, where $hat{frak{g}}$ is an untwisted affine Lie algebra and $L_r=$mathbb{C}[t_{1}^{pm 1},ldots,t_{r}^{pm 1}]$. We first construct an $(r+1)$-toroidal vertex algebra $V(T,0)$ and show that the category of restricted $L_{r}(hat{frak{g}})$-modules is canonically isomorphic to that of $V(T,0)$-modules.Let $c$ denote the standard central element of $hat{frak{g}}$ and set $S_c=U(L_r(mathbb{C}c))$. We furthermore study a distinguished subalgebra of $V(T,0)$, denoted by $V(S_c,0)$. We show that (graded) simple quotient toroidal vertex algebras of $V(S_c,0)$ are parametrized by a $mathbb{Z}^r$-graded ring homomorphism $psi:S_crightarrow L_r$ such that Im$psi$ is a $mathbb{Z}^r$-graded simple $S_c$-module. Denote by $L(psi,0}$ the simple $(r+1)$-toroidal vertex algebra of $V(S_c,0)$ associated to $psi$. We determine for which $psi$, $L(psi,0)$ is an integrable $L_{r}(hat{frak{g}})$-module and we then classify irreducible $L(psi,0)$-modules for such a $psi$. For our need, we also obtain various general results.
