Khovanov introducedrecently a categorification of the infinite Heisenberg algebraassociated with the free boson or, equivalently, a rank 1 lattice,using a graphical construction involving planar diagrams. We extendKhovanov’s graphical construction to derived categories of smooth andprojective varieties or, more generally, to categories having a Serrefunctor. In our case, the underlying lattice will be the (numerical)Grothendieck group of the category. We also obtain a 2-representationof our Heisenberg category on a categorical analogue of the Fockspace. Joint work with Clemens Koppensteiner and Timothy Logvinenko. -- Indico :: Email Notifier https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/111
