Abstract

Let $W$ be an affine Weyl group, and let $\Bbbk$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. The diagrammatic Hecke category $\mathcal{D}$ for $W$ over $\Bbbk$ is a categorification of the Hecke algebra for $W$ with rich connections to modular representation theory. We explicitly construct a functor from $\mathcal{D}$ to a matrix category which categorifies a recursive representation $\xi : \mathbb{Z}W \rightarrow M_{p^r}(\mathbb{Z}W)$, where $r$ is the rank of the underlying finite root system. This functor gives a method for understanding diagrammatic Soergel bimodules in terms of other diagrammatic Soergel bimodules which are "smaller" by a factor of $p$. It also explains the presence of self-similarity in the $p$-canonical basis, which has been observed in small examples. By decategorifying we obtain a new lower bound on the $p$-canonical basis, which corresponds to new lower bounds on the characters of the indecomposable tilting modules by the recent $p$-canonical tilting character formula due to Achar-Makisumi-Riche-Williamson.
