Recently the authors proved the existence of RoCK blocks for double covers of symmetric groups over an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic. In this paper we prove that these blocks lift to RoCK blocks over a suitably defined…

We define and study RoCK blocks for double covers of symmetric groups. We prove that RoCK blocks of double covers are Morita equivalent to standard `local' blocks. The analogous result for blocks of symmetric groups, a theorem of Chuang and…

H. Miyachi and W. Turner have independently proved that Broue's Abelian Defect Group Conjecture holds for certain unipotent blocks of the finite general linear group, the so-called Rouquier blocks. This together with A. Marcus and J. Chuang…

We prove Turner's conjecture, which describes the blocks of the Hecke algebras of the symmetric groups up to derived equivalence as certain explicit Turner double algebras. Turner doubles are Schur-algebra-like `local' objects, which…

An axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras was presented in [1]. Combinatorial aspects of this construction are studied in this paper. In particular, the symmetric group case is…

The Rouquier blocks, also known as the RoCK blocks, are important blocks of the symmetric groups algebras and the Hecke algebras of type A, with the partitions labelling the Specht modules that belong to these blocks having a particular…

We consider RoCK (or Rouquier) blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras at roots of unity. We prove a conjecture of Turner asserting that a certain idempotent truncation of a RoCK block of weight $d$ of a symmetric group $\mathfrak…

Recently, Kleshchev and Livesey proved the existence of RoCK $p$-blocks for double covers of symmetric and alternating groups over large enough coefficient rings. They proved that these RoCK blocks of double covers are Morita equivalent to…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $(K,\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system "large enough". Let $R=\mathcal{O}$ or $k$. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra $RG$ and the central primitive idempotents (the blocks) of…

The families of characters, defined by Lusztig for Weyl groups, play an important role in the representation theory of finite reductive groups. The definition of Rouquier for the families of characters in terms of blocks of the Hecke…

We study blocks of the double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. The main result is a `local' description, up to Morita equivalence, of arbitrary defect RoCK blocks of these groups in terms of generalized Schur superalgebras…

Given a categorical action of a Lie algebra, a celebrated theorem of Chuang and Rouquier proves that the blocks corresponding to weight spaces in the same orbit of the Weyl group are derived equivalent, proving an even more celebrated…

The "Rouquier blocks" of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras, introduced by Rouquier, are a substitute for the "families of characters", defined by Lusztig for Weyl groups, which can be applied to all complex reflection groups. In this article,…

The representation theory of the symmetric groups is intimately related to geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and Lie theory. The spin representation theory of the symmetric groups was originally developed by Schur. In these lecture notes,…

Trinh and Xue have proposed a startling conjecture on intersections of blocks of cyclotomic Hecke algebras occurring in modular representation theory of finite reductive groups. We prove this conjecture for all exceptional type groups apart…

We review some recent advances in modular representation theory of symmetric groups and related Hecke algebras. We discuss connections with Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras and gradings on the blocks of the group algebras $F\Sigma_n$, which…

This is an expository article. We survey some fundamental trends in representation theory of symmetric groups and related objects which became apparent in the last fifteen years. The emphasis is on connections with Lie theory via…

An isomorphism between the group ring of a finite group and a ring of certain block diagonal matrices is established. The group ring $RG$ of a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to the set of {\em group ring matrices} over $R$. It is shown that…

Bernstein blocks of complex representations of p-adic reductive groups have been computed in a large amount of examples, in part thanks to the theory of types a la Bushnell and Kutzko. The output of these purely representation-theoretic…

Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a self-contained introduction to the necessary mathematical…
