Abstract
We realise Stroppel’s extended arc algebra in the Fukaya-Seidel category of a natural Lefschetz fibration on the generic fiber of the adjoint quotient map on a type A nilpotent slice with two Jordan blocks, and hence obtain a symplectic interpretation of certain parabolic two-block versions of Bernstein-Gelfan’d-Gelfan’d category O. 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.
