Rewriting modulo isotopies in pivotal linear (2,2)-categories
read the original abstract
In this paper, we study rewriting modulo a set of algebraic axioms in categories enriched in linear categories, called linear~$(2,2)$-categories. We introduce the structure of linear~$(3,2)$-polygraph modulo as a presentation of a linear~$(2,2)$-category by a rewriting system modulo algebraic axioms. We introduce a symbolic computation method in order to compute linear bases for the vector spaces of $2$-cells of these categories. In particular, we study the case of pivotal $2$-categories using the isotopy relations given by biadjunctions on $1$-cells and cyclicity conditions on $2$-cells as axioms for which we rewrite modulo. By this constructive method, we recover the bases of normally ordered dotted oriented Brauer diagrams in te affine oriented Brauer linear~$(2,2)$-category.

Rewriting modulo isotopies in Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier's categorification of quantum groups
Rewriting modulo isotopies computes bases for 2-cells in the KLR 2-category that match Khovanov-Lauda conjectures, proving non-degeneracy and thus categorification of Lusztig's integral quantum group.
