We describe a new way to relate an acyclic, skew-symmetrizable cluster algebra to the representation theory of a finite dimensional hereditary algebra. This approach is designed to explain the c-vectors of the cluster algebra. We obtain a…
A fundamental problem from invariant theory is to describe the endomorphism algebra of multilinear functions on a representation V invariant under the action of a group G. According to Weyl's classic, a first main (later: fundamental)…
We prove a duality theorem applicable to a a wide range of specialisations, as well as to some generalisations, of tangles in graphs. It generalises the classical tangle duality theorem of Robertson and Seymour, which says that every graph…
Following the definition of Rouquier for the "families of characters" of a Weyl group and its generalization to the case of complex reflection groups, already appeared in the works of Broue-Kim and Malle-Rouquier, we show that these…
Representations over diagrams of abelian categories unify quite a few notions appearing widely in literature such as representations of categories, presheaves of modules over categories, representations of species, etc. In this series of…
We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…
Conformal block is a function of many variables, usually represented as a formal series, with coefficients which are certain matrix elements in the chiral (e.g. Virasoro) algebra. Non-perturbative conformal block is a multi-valued function,…
I introduce modal group theory, in which we study the category of all groups, considering embeddability as providing a notion of modal possibility. Using HNN extensions and Britton's lemma, I demonstrate that the modal language of groups is…
We introduce a path-theoretic framework for understanding the representation theory of (quantum) symmetric and general linear groups and their higher level generalisations over fields of arbitrary characteristic. Our first main result is a…
Using a stable equivalence due to Rouquier, we prove that Broue's abelian defect group conjecture holds for 3-blocks of defect 2 whose Brauer correspondent has a unique isomorphism class of simple modules. The proof makes use of the fact,…
We lay the foundations for a broad algebraic theory encompassing SICs in the hope of elucidating their heuristic connections with Stark units. What emerges is a greatly generalised set-up with added structure and potential for applications…
In this short note we construct an extension of the Vagner-Preston representation for block-groups and show that its kernel is the largest congruence that separates regular elements.
A quantum groups of type $A$ is defined in terms of a Hecke symmetry. We show in this paper that the representation category of such a quantum group is uniquely determined as an abelian braided monoidal category by the bi-rank of the Hecke…
Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field of prime characteristic. One can associate to G (or subgroups thereof) its Lie algebra, its Frobenius kernels, and the finite Chevalley group of points over a finite field. The…
A group is called square-like if it is universally equivalent to its direct square. It is known that the class of all square-like groups admits an explicit first order axiomatization but its theory is undecidable. We prove that the theory…
In a paper of 2003, B. K\"ulshammer, J. B. Olsson and G. R. Robinson defined $\ell$-blocks for the symmetric groups, where $\ell >1$ is an arbitrary integer, and proved that they satisfy an analogue of the Nakayama Conjecture. Inspired by…
The Rankin--Cohen brackets provide a basic example of ``non-elementary" differential symmetry breaking operators. They can be interpreted as bi-differential operators remarkable for reflecting the structure of fusion rules for holomorphic…
Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of residue characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) with n>0, and let l be a prime number different from p. We describe the block decomposition of the category of finite length…
A classic problem in enumerative combinatorics is to count the number of derangements, that is, permutations with no fixed point. Inspired by a recent generalization to facet derangements of the hypercube by Gordon and McMahon, we…
A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…
