Affine highest weight categories and affine quasihereditary algebras

Abstract

Koenig and Xi introduced {\em affine cellular algebras}. Kleshchev and Loubert showed that an important class of {\em infinite dimensional} algebras, the KLR algebras $R(\Gamma )$ of finite Lie type $\Gamma$, are (graded) affine cellular; in fact, the corresponding affine cell ideals are idempotent. This additional property is reminiscent of the properties of {\em quasihereditary algebras} of Cline-Parshall-Scott in a {\em finite dimensional} situation. A fundamental result of Cline-Parshall-Scott says that a finite dimensional algebra $A$ is quasihereditary if and only if the category of finite dimensional $A$-modules is a {\em highest weight category}. On the other hand, S. Kato and Brundan-Kleshchev-McNamara proved that the category of {\em finitely generated graded} $R(\Gamma )$-modules has many features reminiscent of those of a highest weight category. The goal of this paper is to axiomatize and study the notions of an {\em affine quasihereditary algebra} and an {\em affine highest weight category}. In particular, we prove an affine analogue of the Cline-Parshall-Scott Theorem. We also develop {\em stratified} versions of these notions.
