Categorifying the tensor product of a level 1 highest weight and perfect crystal in type A

Abstract

We use Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras to categorify a crystal isomorphism between a highest weight crystal and the tensor product of a perfect crystal and another highest weight crystal, all in level 1 type A affine. The nodes of the perfect crystal correspond to a family of trivial modules and the nodes of the highest weight crystal correspond to simple modules, which we may also parameterize by $\ell$-restricted partitions. In the case $\ell$ is a prime, one can reinterpret all the results for the symmetric group in characteristic $\ell$. The crystal operators correspond to socle of restriction and behave compatibly with the rule for tensor product of crystal graphs.
