Deligne's conjecture for the classical exceptional series

Let ExcR,λ\mathsf{Exc}_{R,\lambda} be the classical exceptional diagram category. A rigid symmetric monoidal category is a symmetric monoidal category in which every object has a dual, and a Cauchy completion is an additive and idempotent completion. Deligne's conjecture. There exist a localization RR of Q[λ]\mathbb Q[\lambda] at finitely many polynomials, a rigid symmetric monoidal category ExcR,λDel\mathsf{Exc}^{Del}_{R,\lambda} with non-negative integers as objects and finitely generated RR-modules as morphism spaces, and a symmetric monoidal functor eval:ExcR,λExcR,λDel\operatorname{eval}:\mathsf{Exc}_{R,\lambda}\to\mathsf{Exc}^{Del}_{R,\lambda} that is the identity on objects and surjective on morphisms. After base extension along every map φ:RS\varphi:R\to S, the resulting category has, for an open dense subset UCU\subset\mathbb C, semisimple Cauchy completion, dimensions 1,0,1,1,5,16,801,0,1,1,5,16,80 in boundary degrees 0,1,2,3,4,5,60,1,2,3,4,5,6, respectively, and at the listed special parameters its negligible quotient has Cauchy completion equivalent to representations of the corresponding supergroup. This is the proposed categorical realization of the exceptional series; the source presents it as a version of Deligne's conjecture incorporating the exceptional relation.
