Wide-equivalence conjecture for the branching functor

About 12 years old · traced to

Let Rathfrakgn]ambda]R^athfrak{g}_n]^ambda]-mod be the category of modules over the cyclotomic KLR algebra indexed by the dominant weight λ\lambda, and let

Πλ=ext⁡λ\Pi^{\lambda}=\operatorname{ext}^{\lambda}

be the branching functor defined by extension of scalars to the direct sum of the algebras Rgn−1ξ(μ,ν)(λ)R^{\xi_{(\mu,\nu)}(\lambda)}_{\mathfrak{g}_{n-1}}. A functor is a wide equivalence of categories when it is full and a bijection on objects.

Wide-equivalence conjecture. The functor Πλ\Pi^{\lambda} is injective on objects and therefore a wide equivalence of categories.

The preceding result establishes that Πλ\Pi^{\lambda} is full, essentially surjective and intertwines the categorical gn−1\mathfrak{g}_{n-1}-action, while the conjecture asks for injectivity on objects as well. The parser supplies no evidence that this conjecture has been resolved.
