We show that the Sylow $p$-subgroups of a symmetric group, respectively an alternating group, are characterized as the $p$-subgroups containing all elementary abelian $p$-subgroups up to conjugacy of the symmetric group, respectively the…

The complexity of a homogeneous space $G/H$ under a reductive group $G$ is by definition the codimension of generic orbits in $G/H$ of a Borel subgroup $B\subseteq G$. We give a representation-theoretic interpretation of this number as the…

We use the presentation of the Specht modules given by Kleshchev-Mathas-Ram to derive results about Specht modules. In particular, we determine all homomorphisms from an arbitrary Specht module to a fixed Specht module corresponding to any…

For any prime p, we construct, and simultaneously count, all of the complex Specht modules in a given p-block of the symmetric group which remain irreducible when reduced modulo p. We call the Specht modules with this property p-irreducible…

Let $S_\lambda$ denote the Specht module defined by Dipper and James for the Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathscr{H}_n$ of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. When $e=2$ we determine the decomposability of all Specht modules corresponding to…

For each composition $\vec{c}$ we show that the order complex of the poset of pointed set partitions $\Pi^{\bullet}_{\vec{c}}$ is a wedge of spheres of the same dimension with the multiplicity given by the number of permutations with…

Using purely combinatorial methods we calculate the first degree cohomology of Specht modules indexed by two part partitions over fields of characteristic $p\ge 3$. These combinatorial methods also allow us to obtain an explicit description…

In this paper, we let $\Hecke$ be the Hecke algebra associated with a finite Coxeter group $W$ and with one-parameter, over the ring of scalars $\Alg=\mathbb{Z}(q, q^{-1})$. With an elementary method, we introduce a cellular basis of…

We compare two generalisations of the notion of hook lengths for partitions. We apply this in the context of the modular representation theory of Ariki-Koike algebras. We show that the Schur element of a simple module is divisible by the…

We compute the complexity, z-complexity, and support varieties of the (thick) Kac modules for the Lie superalgebras of type P. We also show the complexity and the z-complexity have geometric interpretations in terms of support and…

We consider the problem of classifying irreducible Specht modules for the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type B with parameters Q,q. We solve this problem completely in the case where q is not a root of unity, and in the case q=-1 we reduce the…

This paper studies the vertices, in the sense defined by J. A. Green, of Specht modules for symmetric groups. The main theorem gives, for each indecomposable non-projective Specht module, a large subgroup contained in one of its vertices. A…

In this paper we study the vertices of indecomposable Specht modules for symmetric groups. For any given indecomposable non-projective Specht module, the main theorem of the article describes a family of p-subgroups contained in its vertex.…

In the previous work, Lim and the author determined the rank variety of the simple $\mathbb{F}\mathfrak{S}_{kp}$-module $D(p-1)=D^{(kp-p+1,1^{p-1})}$ with respect to some maximal elementary abelian $p$-subgroup $E_k$ and the complexity when…

Let H_q(S_n) be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. This algebra is semisimple over the rational function field Q(q), where q is an indeterminate, and its irreducible representations over this field are q-analogues S_q(lambda)…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $E_6$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We determine the submodule structure of the Weyl modul es with highest weight $r\omega_1$ for $0\leq r\leq p-1$, where $\omega_1$…

Recently, the first two authors have defined a Z-grading on group algebras of symmetric groups and more generally on the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type G(l,1,d). In this paper we explain how to grade Specht modules over these algebras.

Let ${\mathcal H}_{q}(d)$ be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra for the symmetric group, where $q$ is a primitive $l$th root of unity. In this paper we develop a theory of support varieties which detects natural homological properties such as the…

By a result of Hemmer, every simple Specht module of a finite symmetric group over a field of odd characteristic is a signed Young module. While Specht modules are parametrized by partitions, indecomposable signed Young modules are…

We study the seminormal basis ${f_t}$ for the Specht modules of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra ${\cal H}_n(q)$ of type $A_{n-1}$. We focus on the base change coefficients between the seminormal basis ${f_t}$ and Young's natural basis ${x_t}$…
