Abstract
A strict monoidal category referred to as affine Brauer category \(\mathcal {AB}\) is introduced over a commutative ring \(\kappa \) containing multiplicative identity 1 and invertible element 2. We prove that morphism spaces in \(\mathcal {AB}\) are free over \(\kappa \). The cyclotomic (or level k) Brauer category \(\mathcal {CB}^f(\omega )\) is a quotient category of \(\mathcal {AB}\). We prove that any morphism space in \(\mathcal {CB}^f(\omega )\) is free over \(\kappa \) with maximal rank if and only if the \({\mathbf {u}}\)-admissible condition holds in the sense of (1.32). Affine Nazarov–Wenzl algebras (Nazarov in J Algebra 182(3):664–693, 1996) and cyclotomic Nazarov–Wenzl algebras (Ariki et al. in Nagoya Math J 182:47–134, 2006) will be realized as certain endomorphism algebras in \(\mathcal {AB}\) and \(\mathcal {CB}^f(\omega )\), respectively. We will establish higher Schur–Weyl duality between cyclotomic Nazarov–Wenzl algebras and parabolic BGG categories \({\mathcal {O}}\) associated to symplectic and orthogonal Lie algebras over the complex field \(\mathbb C\). This enables us to use standard arguments in (Anderson et al. in Pac J Math 292(1):21–59, 2018; Rui and Song in Math Zeit 280(3–4):669–689, 2015; Rui and Song in J Algebra 444:246–271, 2015), to compute decomposition matrices of cyclotomic Nazarov–Wenzl algebras. The level two case was considered by Ehrig and Stroppel in (Adv. Math. 331:58–142, 2018).

Notes
In this paper, we consider both \({\mathbf {U}}({\mathfrak {g}}){-fmod}\) and \({\mathbf {U}}({\mathfrak {g}}){-mod}\) as strict monoidal categories by identifying \((M_1\otimes M_2)\otimes M_3\) (resp., \(M_1\otimes \mathbb C\) and \( \mathbb C\otimes M_1\)) with \(M_1\otimes (M_2\otimes M_3)\) (resp., \(M_1\)) for all admissible \(M_1,M_2,M_3\).
