Quiver Hecke superalgebras

Abstract

We introduce a new family of superalgebras which should be considered as a super version of the Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras. Let $I$ be the set of vertices of a Dynkin diagram with parity. To this data, we associate a family of graded superalgebras, the quiver Hecke superalgebras. When there are no odd vertices, these algebras are nothing but the usual Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras. We then define another family of graded superalgebras, the quiver Hecke-Clifford superalgebras, and show that they are weakly Morita superequivalent to the quiver Hecke superalgebras. Moreover, we prove that the affine Hecke-Clifford superalgebras, as well as their degenerate version, the affine Sergeev superalgebras, are isomorphic to the quiver Hecke-Clifford superalgebras after a completion.
