%0 Journal Article %T The degenerate analogue of Ariki's categorification theorem %A Jonathan Brundan %A Alexander Kleshchev %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s00209-009-0603-y %X We explain how to deduce the degenerate analogue of Ariki's categorification theorem over the ground field C as an application of Schur-Weyl duality for higher levels and the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture in finite type A. We also discuss some supplementary topics, including Young modules, tensoring with sign, tilting modules and Ringel duality. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.0057v1
