Abstract
We realise Stroppel’s extended arc algebra [13, 51] in the Fukaya–Seidel category of a natural Lefschetz fibration on the generic fibre of the adjoint quotient map on a type nilpotent slice with two Jordan blocks, and hence obtain a symplectic interpretation of certain parabolic two-block versions of Bernstein–Gel’fand–Gel’fand category . As an application, we give a new geometric construction of the spectral sequence from annular to ordinary Khovanov homology. The heart of the paper is the development of a cylindrical model to compute Fukaya categories of (affine open subsets of) Hilbert schemes of quasi-projective surfaces, which may be of independent interest.
