Fiat categorification of the symmetric inverse semigroup IS_n and the semigroup F^*_n
Starting from the symmetric group , we construct two fiat
-categories. One of them can be viewed as the fiat "extension" of the
natural -category associated with the symmetric inverse semigroup
(considered as an ordered semigroup with respect to the natural order). This
-category provides a fiat categorification for the integral semigroup
algebra of the symmetric inverse semigroup. The other -category can be
viewed as the fiat "extension" of the -category associated with the maximal
factorizable subsemigroup of the dual symmetric inverse semigroup (again,
considered as an ordered semigroup with respect to the natural order). This
-category provides a fiat categorification for the integral semigroup
algebra of the maximal factorizable subsemigroup of the dual symmetric inverse
semigroup.Comment: v2: minor revisio
Pyramids and 2-representations
We describe a diagrammatic procedure which lifts strict monoidal actions from additive categories to categories of complexes avoiding any use of direct sums. As an application, we prove that every simple transitive 2-representation of the 2-category of projective bimodules over a finite dimensional algebra is equivalent to a cell 2-representation
