Riche—Williamson recently proved that the characters of tilting modules for GL_h are given by non-singular p-Kazhdan—Lusztig polynomials providing p>h.  This is equivalent to calculating the decomposition numbers for symmetric groups labelled by partitions with at most h columns.  We discuss how this result can be generalised to all cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras via a new and explicit isomorphism between (truncations of) quiver Hecke algebras and Elias–Williamson’s diagrammatic endomorphism algebras of Bott–Samelson bimodules. 

This allows us to give an elementary and explicit proof of the main theorem of Riche–Williamson’s recent monograph and extend their categorical equivalence to all cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras, thus solving Libedinsky–Plaza’s categorical blob conjecture.  Furthermore, it allows us to classify and construct the homogeneous simple modules of quiver Hecke algebras via BGG resolutions.
