Simple-shifted monoidal derived equivalences for tensor categories
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate monoidal derived equivalences between tensor categories with infinitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We introduce the notion of a simple-shifted monoidal derived equivalence and prove that a simple-shifted monoidal derived equivalence gives rise to a tensor equivalence. In addition, we investigate which tensor categories have the property that every monoidal derived equivalence between them is necessarily simple-shifted, and we establish some sufficient conditions for this property. As a corollary, we prove that if a tensor category is monoidally derived equivalent to the finite-dimensional representation category of either the quantized enveloping algebra Uq(g), the quantized Borel subalgebra Uq≥ 0(g), or the quantized coordinate ring 𝒪q(G) (for a suitable q), it is tensor equivalent to the corresponding category.
