Classical block designs are important combinatorial structures with a wide range of applications in Computer Science and Statistics. Here we give a new abstract description of block designs based on the arrow category construction. We show…
We give a new proof for the description of the blocks in the category of representations of a reductive algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$ over a field of positive characteristic $\ell$ (originally due to Donkin), by working in the Satake…
In this article, we find a $q$-analogue for Fomin's formulas. The original Fomin's formulas relate determinants of random walk excursion kernels to loop-erased random walk partition functions, and our formulas analogously relate conformal…
This article is concerned with perfect isometries between blocks of finite groups. Generalizing a method of Enguehard to show that any two p-blocks of (possibly different) symmetric groups with the same weight are perfectly isometric, we…
We review some facts about the representation theory of the Hecke algebra. We adapt for the Hecke algebra case the approach of Okounkov and Vershik which was developed for the representation theory of symmetric groups. We justify an…
Schurian-finiteness, also known as $\tau$-tilting finiteness, is equivalent to the finiteness of various representation theoretic objects such as wide subcategories. The first three authors classified Schurian-finite blocks of type A Hecke…
The aim of this paper is to derive explicit formulas for two distinct values. The first is the total number of symmetric peaks in a set partition of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ blocks, and the second one is the total number of non-symmetric…
This paper classifies the blocks of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type G(r,1,n) over an arbitrary field. Rather than working with the Hecke algebras directly we work instead with the cyclotomic Schur algebras. The advantage of these…
It is shown that Section 8 of Plesken's 1983 lecture notes describes blocks of cyclic defect group up to Morita equivalence. In particular such a block is determined by its planar embedded Brauer tree. Applying the radical idealizer…
We introduce a new invariant for blocks of Ariki-Koike algebras, called block moving vector, which is a vector of non-negative integers summing up to the weight of the block. In this paper, we use moving vectors to classify…
Regular algebraic $K$-theory for groups is a homology theory for discrete groups closely connected (but different from) group homology. It also gives a version of algebraic $K$-theory for rings by the simple functorial mapping assigning to…
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. In this paper, we give a definition for the defect group of the principal…
A Ryser design $\mathcal{D}$ on $v$ points is a collection of $v$ proper subsets (called blocks) of a point-set with $v$ points such that every two blocks intersect each other in $\lambda$ points (and $\lambda < v$ is a fixed number) and…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $(K,\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system. Let $R=\mathcal{O}$ or $k$. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra and the blocks of the so-called $p$-local Mackey algebra $\mu_{R}^{1}(G)$.…
We develop the local-global theory of blocks for profinite groups. Given a field $k$ of characteristic $p$ and a profinite group $G$, one may express the completed group algebra $k[[G]]$ as a product $\prod_{i\in I}B_i$ of closed…
We develop a general theory of cluster categories, applying to a 2-Calabi-Yau extriangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ and cluster-tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ satisfying only mild finiteness conditions. We show that the structure theory…
We reconstruct a quantum group associated with any Lie algebra together with its representation theory from twisted homologies of generalized configuration spaces of disks. Along the way it brings new combinatorics to the theory, but our…
Given a vector space with an action of a semi-simple Lie algebra, we can try to "categorify" this representation, which means finding a category where the generators of the Lie algebra act by functors. Such categorical representations arise…
Clifford geometric algebras of multivectors are introduced which exhibit a bilinear form which is not necessarily symmetric. Looking at a subset of bi-vectors in CL(K^{2n},B), we proof that theses elements generate the Hecke algebra…
Recent work has uncovered a striking phenomenon in large-capacity neural networks: they contain blocks of contiguous hidden layers with highly similar representations. This block structure has two seemingly contradictory properties: on the…
