Let $\Lambda$ be the space of symmetric functions and $V_k$ be the subspace spanned by the modified Schur functions $\{S_\lambda[X/(1-t)]\}_{\lambda_1\leq k}$. We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials,…

In this paper, we establish explicit relationship between decomposition numbers of quantized walled Brauer algebras and those for either Hecke algebras associated to certain symmetric groups or (rational) $q$-Schur algebras over a field…

We define a canonical basis of the $q$-deformed Fock space representation of the affine Lie algebra $\glchap_n$. We conjecture that the entries of the transition matrix between this basis and the natural basis of the Fock space are…

The main result of this paper is an application of the topology of the space $Q(X)$ to obtain results for the cohomology of the symmetric group on $d$ letters, $\Sigma_d$, with `twisted' coefficients in various choices of Young modules and…

In this paper we give a symbolical formula and a cancellation-free formula for the Schur elements associated to the simple modules of the degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras. As some direct applications, we show that the Schur elements are…

Let g be a finite dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra, and let V be a finite dimensional represenation of g. We give a closed formula for the mth Frobenius-Schur indicator, m>1, of V in representation-theoretic terms. We deduce that…

In these notes we present a closed-formula solution to the problem of decomposing traces of Lie algebra generators into symmetrized traces and structure constants. The solution is written in terms of Solomon idempotents and exploits a…

Many classical identities arise from nothing more mysterious than looking at the same object in two different ways. A number, a function, or a combinatorial object may admit several natural decompositions, and by disassembling it in one way…

Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…

We show that the coefficients of decomposition into an irreducible components of the tensor powers of level $r$ symmetric algebra of adjoint representation coincide with the Verlinder numbers. Also we construct (for $sl(2)) the…

Let $\mathbb V$ be an arbitrary linear space and $f:\mathbb V \times \ldots \times \mathbb V \to \mathbb V$ an $n$-linear map. It is proved that, for each choice of a basis ${\mathcal B}$ of $\mathbb V$, the $n$-linear map $f$ induces a…

Fix a partition $\mu=(\mu_1,\dotsc,\mu_m)$ of an integer $k$ and positive integer $d$. For each $n>k$, let $\chi^\lambda_\mu$ denote the value of the irreducible character of $S_n$ at a permutation with cycle type…

Following the general idea of Schur--Weyl scheme and using two suitable symmetric groups (instead of one), we try to make more explicit the classical problem of decomposing tensor representations of finite and infinite symmetric groups into…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, $\Lambda$ be a $k$-algebra and $V$ be a $\Lambda$-module. When it exists, the universal deformation ring $R(\Lambda,V)$ of $V$ is a $k$-algebra whose local homomorphisms to $R$ parametrize the lifts of $V$ up…

A $p$-divisible group over a field $K$ admits a slope decomposition; associated to each slope $\lambda$ is an integer $m$ and a representation $\gal(K) \ra \gl_m(D_\lambda)$, where $D_\lambda$ is the $\rat_p$-division algebra with Brauer…

In this paper, we present, given a odd integer $d$, a decomposition of the multiset of bar lengths of a bar partition $\lambda$ as the union of two multisets, one consisting of the bar lengths in its $\bar{d}$-core partition…

We consider the expansion of the square of a complete homogeneous function $h_\lambda$, or of an elementary symmetric function $e_\lambda$, in the basis of Schur functions. This square also decomposes into two plethysms, $s_2[h_\lambda]$…

Signed difference sets have interesting applications in communications and coding theory. A $(v,k,\lambda)$-difference set in a finite group $G$ of order $v$ is a subset $D$ of $G$ with $k$ distinct elements such that the expressions…

Let $n\geq 4$ be an even integer. Let $K$ be a field with $\cha K\neq 2$ and $q$ an invertible element in $K$ such that $\prod_{i=1}^{n-1}(1+q^i)\neq 0$. In this paper, we study the decomposition numbers over $K$ of the Iwahori--Hecke…

The classical algebra $\Lambda$ of symmetric functions has a remarkable deformation $\Lambda^*$, which we call the algebra of shifted symmetric functions. In the latter algebra, there is a distinguished basis formed by shifted Schur…
