In our approach, projective-injective modules play an important role. They control the Serre functor in the case of a quasi-hereditary algebra having a double centraliser property with respect to a symmetric algebra. As an application of the double centraliser property and our description of Serre functors, we prove three conjectures of Khovanov about the projective-injective modules in the parabolic category O for sl_n.Representation Theory16G10, 17B20, 18E30, 16E20, 18F25Projective-injective modules, Serre functors and symmetric algebrastext
