Abstract

We provide a new proof of the super duality equivalence between infinite-rank parabolic BGG categories of general linear Lie (super) algebras conjectured by Cheng and Wang and first proved by Cheng and Lam. We do this by establishing a new uniqueness theorem for tensor product categorifications motivated by work of Brundan, Losev, and Webster. Moreover we show that these BGG categories have Koszul graded lifts and super duality can be lifted to a graded equivalence.
