Abstract

In this paper, we provide a generalization of the localization procedure for monoidal categories developed in [12] by Kang–Kashiwara–Kim by introducing the notions of braiders and a real commuting family of braiders. Let $R$ be a quiver Hecke algebra of arbitrary symmetrizable type and $R$‑$\operatorname{gmod}$ the category of finite-dimensional graded $R$-modules. For an element $w$ of the Weyl group, $\mathscr{C}_w$ is the subcategory of $R$‑$\operatorname{gmod}$ which categorifies the quantum unipotent coordinate algebra $A_q (\mathfrak{n}(w))$. We construct the localization $\tilde{\mathscr{C}}_w$ of $\mathscr{C}_w$ by adding the inverses of simple modules $\mathsf{M} (w \Lambda_i , \Lambda_i)$ which correspond to the frozen variables in the quantum cluster algebra $A_q (\mathfrak{n}(w))$. The localization $\tilde{\mathscr{C}}_w$ is left rigid and it is conjectured that $\tilde{\mathscr{C}}_w$ is rigid.
