We study the effect of Alvis-Curtis duality on the unipotent representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(q)$ in non-defining characteristic $\ell$. We show that the permutation induced on the simple modules can be expressed in terms of a…

We obtain the structure of weight 2 blocks and [2:1]-pairs of q-Schur algebras, and compute explicitly the modular Alvis-Curtis duality for weight 2 blocks of finite general linear groups in non-defining characteristic.

We formulate a strong positivity conjecture on characters afforded by the Alvis-Curtis dual of the intersection cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. This conjecture provides a powerful tool to determine decomposition numbers of…

We generalize the Alvis-Curtis duality to the abstract representations of reductive groups with Frobenius maps. Similar to the case of representations of finite reductive groups, we show that the Alvis-Curtis duality of infinite type which…

Isomorphisms are constructed between generalized Schur algebras in different degrees. The construction covers both the classical case (of general linear groups over infinite fields of arbitrary characteristic) and the quantized case (in…

We introduce a generalized version of a q-Schur algebra (of parabolic type) for arbitrary Hecke algebras over extended Weyl groups. We describe how the decomposition matrix of a finite group with split BN-pair, with respect to a…

Polynomial representations of general linear groups and modules over Schur algebras are compared. We work over an arbitrary commutative ring and show that Schur-Weyl duality is the key for an equivalence between both categories.

We formulate a refined theory of linear systems, using the methods of a previous paper, "A Theory of Branches for Algebraic Curves", and use it to give a geometric interpretation of the genus of an algebraic curve. Using principles of…

We give a criterion for two l-adic Galois representations of an algebraic number field to be isomorphic when restricted to a decomposition group, in terms of the global representations mod l. This is applied to prove a generalization of a…

We study the decomposition matrices for the unipotent $\ell$-blocks of finite special unitary groups SU$_n(q)$ for unitary primes $\ell$ larger than $n$. Up to very few unknown entries, we give a complete solution for $n=2,\ldots,10$. We…

The $q$-Schur category is a $\mathbb{Z}[q,q^{-1}]$-linear monoidal category closely related to the $q$-Schur algebra. We explain how to construct it from coordinate algebras of quantum $GL_n$ for all $n \geq 0$. Then we use Donkin's work on…

Given a non-negative integer $q$, we study two different notions of the $q$-capability of Lie algebras via the non-abelian $q$-exterior product of Lie algebras. The first is related to the $q$-crossed modules and inner $q$-derivations, and…

This paper gives a conjectural characterization of those elliptic curves over the field of complex numbers which "should" be covered by standard modular curves. The elliptic curves in question all have algebraic j-invariant, so they can be…

In this paper we study two classes of $\ell$-modular standard modules of the general linear group. The first class is obtained by reducing existing standard modules over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_\ell$ to $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_\ell$ with…

We prove that Alvis-Curtis duality preserves the Frobenius-Schur indicators of characters of connected reductive groups of Lie type with connected center. This allows us to extend a result of D. Prasad which relates the Frobenius-Schur…

Generalizing recent work of Brundan and Kleshchev, we introduce grading on Dipper-James' $q$-Schur algebra, and prove a graded analogue of the Leclerc and Thibon's conjecture on the decomposition numbers of the $q$-Schur algebra when…

We consider GLq(N)-covariant quantum algebras with generators satisfying quadratic polynomial relations. We show that, up to some inessential arbitrariness, there are only two kinds of such quantum algebras, namely, the algebras with…

We show that cellular bases of generalized $q$-Schur algebras can be constructed by gluing arbitrary bases of the cell modules and their dual basis (with respect to the anti-involution giving the cell structure) along defining idempotents.…

We address the problem of duality between the coloured extension of the quantised algebra of functions on a group and that of its quantised universal enveloping algebra i.e. its dual. In particular, we derive explicitly the algebra dual to…

We obtain some simple relations between decomposition numbers of quantized Schur algebras at an n-th root of unity (over a field of characteristic 0). These relations imply that every decomposition number for such an algebra occurs as a…
