Abstract

For a fixed parabolic subalgebra p of gl(n, C) we prove that the centre of the principal block O-0(p) of the parabolic category 0 is naturally isomorphic to the cohomology ring H*(B-p) of the corresponding Springer fibre. We give a. diagrammatic description of O-0(p) for maximal parabolic p and give an explicit isomorphism to Braden's description of the category Perv(B)(G(k,,n)) of Schubert-constructible 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-0(p). From there one can deduce that Khovanov's tangle invariants are obtained from the more general functorial invariants in [C. Stroppel, Catgorification of the Temperley Lieb category, tangles, and cobordisms via projective functors, Duke Math. J. 126(3) (2005), 547-596] by restriction.
