Categorification and Quasi-Hopf Algebras

We categorify the notion of coalgebras by imposing a co-associative law up to some isomorphisms on the co-multiplication map and requiring that these isomorphisms satisfy certairl law of their own, which is called the copentagon identity. We also set up a 2-category of 2-coalgebras. The purpose of this study is from the idea of reconsidering the quasi-Hopf algebras by the categorification process, so that we can study the theory of quasi-Hopf algebras and their representations in some new framework of higher category theory in natural ways.

A Categorification of the Boson Oscillator

In this paper,we investigate the categorical description of the boson oscillator.Based on the categories constructed by Khovanov,we introduce a categorification of the Fock states and the corresponding inner product of these states.We find that there are two different categorical definitions of the inner product of the Fock states.These two definitions are consistent with each other,and the decategorification results also coincide with those in conventional quantum mechanics.We also find that there are some interesting properties of the 2-morphisms which relate to the inner product of the states.

A diagrammatic categorification of q-boson and q-fermion algebras

In this paper, we study the diagrammatic categorification of q-boson algebra and also q-fermion algebra. We construct a graphical category corresponding to q-boson algebra, q-Fock states correspond to some kind of 1-morphisms, and the graded dimension of the graded vector space of 2-morphisms is exactly the inner product of the corresponding q-Fock states. We also find that this graphical category can be used to categorify q-fermion algebra.

A diagrammatic categorification of the fermion algebra

In this paper, we study the diagrammatic categorification of the fermion algebra. We construct a graphical category corresponding to the one-dimensional （1D） fermion algebra, and we investigate the properties of this category. The categorical analogues of the Fock states are some kind of 1-morphisms in our category, and the dimension of the vector space of 2-morphisms is exactly the inner product of the corresponding Fock states. All the results in our categorical framework coincide exnetlv with those in normal quantum mechanics.

A Categorification of Quantum sl_2

In this paper, we categorify the algebra Uq（sl2） with the same approach as in [A. Lauda, Adv. Math. （2010）, arXiv：math.QA/0803.3662; M. Khovanov, Comm. Algebra 11 （2001） 5033]. The algebra U =Uq（sl2） is obtained from Uq（sl2） by adjoining a collection of orthogonal idempotents 1λ,λ ∈ P, in which P is the weight lattice of Uq（sl2）. Under such construction the algebra U is decomposed into a direct sum λ∈p 1λ,U1λ. We set the collection of λ∈ P as the objects of the category U, 1-morphisms from λ to λ′ are given by 1λ,U1λ, and 2-morphisms are constructed by some semilinear form defined on U. Hence we get a 2-category u from the algebra Uq（sl2）.

Categorification of Integrable Representations of Quantum Groups

We categorify the highest weight integrable representations and their tensor products of a symmetric quantum Kac–Moody algebra. As a byproduct, we obtain a geometric realization of Lusztig＇s canonical bases of these representations as well as a new positivity result. The main ingredient in the underlying geometric construction is a class of micro-local perverse sheaves on quiver varieties.

Cluster algebra structure on the finite dimensional representations of affine quantum group U_q(_3)

In this paper, we prove one case of conjecture given by Hemandez and Leclerc. We give a cluster algebra structuure on the Grothendieck ring of a full subcategory of the finite dimensional representations of affine quantum group Uq（A3）. As a conclusion, for every exchange relation of cluster algebra, there exists an exact sequence of the full subcategory corresponding to it.

Clustered Hyperbolic Categories

We introduce a class of categories, called clustered hyperbolic categories, which are constructed from a categorized version of preseeds called categorical preseeds using categorical mutations that are a ＂functorial＂ edition of preseed mutations. Every Weyl preseed p gives rise to a categorical preseed P which generates a clustered hyperbolic category; this is formed by copies of categories each one of which is equivalent to the category of representations of the Weyl cluster algebra H（p）. A ＂categorical realization＂ of Weyl cluster algebra is provided in the sense of defining a map Fp from any clustered hyperbolic category induced from p to the Weyl cluster algebra H（p）, where the image of Fp generates H（p）.
