Associativity conjecture for tensor products in shifted category O
Associativity conjecture for tensor products in shifted category O
Let be objects of the shifted category . Associativity conjecture. There exists an isomorphism
Thus, -fold tensor products in are independent of the choice of parenthesization, up to possibly non-canonical isomorphism. Associativity is needed for the tensor product to define a monoidal categorification; the paper explicitly assumes this widely believed conjecture, but no proof or resolution is supplied here.
