Distinct Steenrod extensions of categorified quantum groups
Distinct Steenrod extensions of categorified quantum groups
Let be a prime, let be a finite-dimensional sub-Hopf algebra of the Steenrod algebra, and let be the compact analogue of , defined using the natural Steenrod structure. Write for the positive half of the quantum group , and let denote the Grothendieck group.
Distinct-extension conjecture. Any such extension decategorifies an extension of the ground field as above, and if and are distinct sub-Hopf algebras, then the corresponding extensions are not equivalent as categories:
This predicts that the compact categorifications retain enough information to distinguish the underlying Steenrod extensions. The supplied text does not establish the claim or give evidence resolving its status.
