Abelian envelopes for interpolation categories of wreath products from monoidal adjunctions

Abstract

We establish the existence of abelian envelopes for interpolation categories of wreath product groups $G\wr S_n$, for a fixed finite group $G$ with the symmetric groups $S_n$, for $n\ge 0$. Our approach consists of showing directly via essentially combinatorial methods that certain generalized restriction functors admit adjoints.
