Abstract

Let $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$ be an arbitrary quantum affine algebra of either untwisted or twisted type, and let $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ be its Hernandez-Leclerc category. We denote by $\mathsf{B}$ the braid group determined by the simply-laced finite type Lie algebra $ \mathsf{g}$ associated with $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$. For any complete duality datum $\mathbb{D}$ and any sequence of simple roots of $\mathsf{g}$, we construct the corresponding affine cuspidal modules and affine determinantial modules and study their key properties including T-systems. Then, for any element $b$ of the positive braid monoid $\mathsf{B}^+$, we introduce a distinguished subcategory $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{\mathbb{D}}(b)$ of $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ categorifying the specialization of the bosonic extension $\widehat{\mathcal{A}}(b)$ at $q^{1/2}=1$ and investigate its properties including the categorical PBW structure. We finally prove that the subcategory $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{\mathbb{D}}(b)$ provides a monoidal categorification of the (quantum) cluster algebra $\widehat{\mathcal{A}}(b)$, which significantly generalizes the earlier monoidal categorification developed by the authors.
