Canonical basic sets in type B

Abstract

More than 10 years ago, Dipper, James and Murphy developped the theory of Specht modules for Hecke algebras of type B_nB\_n. More recently, using Lusztig's a-function, Geck and Rouquier showed how to obtain parametrisations of the irreducible representations of Hecke algebras (of any finite type) in terms of so-called canonical basic sets. For certain values of the parameters in type B_nB\_n, combinatorial descriptions of these basic sets were found by Jacon, based on work of Ariki and Foda-Leclerc-Okado-Thibon-Welsh. Here, we consider the canonical basic sets for all the remaining choices of the parameters.
