Highest weight categories arising from Khovanov's diagram algebra I: cellularity

This is the first of four articles studying some slight generalisations H(n,m) of Khovanov's diagram algebra, as well as quasi-hereditary covers K(n,m) of these algebras in the sense of Rouquier, and certain infinite dimensional limiting versions. In this article we prove that H(n,m) is a cellular symmetric algebra and that K(n,m) is a cellular quasi-hereditary algebra. In subsequent articles, we relate these algebras to level two blocks of degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras, parabolic category O and the general linear supergroup, respectively.
