We give a diagrammatic description of O(p) for maximal parabolic p and give an explicit isomorphism to Braden's description of the category Perv_B(G(n,n)) of perverse sheaves on Grassmannians. As a consequence Khovanov's algebra H^n is realised as the endomorphism ring of some object from Perv_B(G(n,n)) which corresponds under localisation and the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence to a full projective-injective module in the corresponding category $O(p)$. From there one can deduce that Khovanov's tangle invariants are obtained from the more general functorial invariants involving category O by restriction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-03-06T06:09:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16S99", "17B10", "14M15", "57M27", "20C30", "20G05", "14M17" ], "keywords": [ "parabolic category", "perverse sheaves", "khovanov homology", "grassmannians", "general functorial invariants" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......8234S" } } }
