CalTitle1: Proving Lusztig’s conjectures using tensor product categorifications (expository)

Higher representation theory seminar (expository): Nandakumar -- Proof of Lusztig’s conjectures I: Uniqueness and existence of tensor product categorifications

The main goal of higher representation theory is to prove (and generalize)
Lusztig’s conjectures, which describe the characters and dimensions of the
simple modules in various settings. Losev-Webster give an approach using
uniqueness and existence theorems for tensor product categorifications. 
In this expository talk, we describe their work for the Kazhdan-Lusztig
conjectures, modules over category O in type A.
