Geometric categorification conjecture for tensor products of \mathfrak{sl}_2-modules

Let WW be the Weyl group, let SdS_{\bf d} be the subgroup associated with the tensor-product datum d{\bf d}, and let Hdi=(BdC)WiH_{\bf d}^i=(B^{\bf d}\otimes C)^{W_i} and Hdi,i+1=(BdC)Wi,i+1H_{\bf d}^{i,i+1}=(B^{\bf d}\otimes C)^{W_{i,i+1}}. Set

Cgeom:=i=0nHdi-mod.\mathcal{C}_{geom}:=\bigoplus_{i=0}^{n} H_{\bf d}^i\operatorname{-mod}.

Let EgeomE_{geom} and FgeomF_{geom} be the direct sums of the induction functors EiE_i and FiF_i between these module categories, and let Φ1,Φ2:G(Cgeom)Vd\Phi_1,\Phi_2:{\bf G}(\mathcal{C}_{geom})\to\overline V_{\bf d} be the vector-space isomorphisms sending the simple and indecomposable projective bases, respectively, to the corresponding bases of Vd\overline V_{\bf d}. Geometric categorification conjecture. The isomorphisms Φ1\Phi_1 and Φ2\Phi_2 agree and are isomorphisms of sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-modules, where the action on the left-hand side is induced by the functors EgeomE_{geom} and FgeomF_{geom}. The conjecture asserts that this geometric construction categorifies the tensor-product representation; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
