Let n be a positive integer and let p be a prime. Suppose that we take a partition of n, and obtain another partition by moving a node from one row to a shorther row. Carter and Payne showed that if the p-residue of the removed and added…

The graded Specht module $S^\lambda$ for a cyclotomic Hecke algebra comes with a distinguished generating vector $z^\lambda\in S^\lambda$, which can be thought of as a "highest weight vector of weight $\lambda$". This paper describes the…

We introduce a generalization of degenerate affine Hecke algebra, called wreath Hecke algebra, associated to an arbitrary finite group G. The simple modules of the wreath Hecke algebra and of its associated cyclotomic algebras are…

For a Specht module S^\lambda for the symmetric group \Sigma_d, the cohomology H^i(\Sigma_d, S^\lambda) is known only in degree i=0. We give a combinatorial criterion equivalent to the nonvanishing of the degree i=1 cohomology, valid in odd…

This paper shows that the cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras of type $A$, and the gradings on these algebras, are intimately related to the classical seminormal forms. We start by classifying all seminormal bases and then give an explicit…

Kazhdan and Lusztig identified the affine Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}$ with an equivariant $K$-group of the Steinberg variety, and applied this to prove the Deligne-Langlands conjecture, i.e., the local Langlands parametrization of…

We associate a monoidal category $\mathcal{H}^\lambda$ to each dominant integral weight $\lambda$ of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_p$ or $\mathfrak{sl}_\infty$. These categories, defined in terms of planar diagrams, act naturally on categories…

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…

We construct and investigate the structure of the Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras $R$ and their cyclotomic quotients $R^\lambda$ which give a categrification of quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebras. Let $U_\A(\g)$ be the integral form of…

Let $G$ be a semisimple group, split over a non-Archimedean field $F$. We prove that the category of modules over the extension algebra of generalised Steinberg representations of $G(F)$ is equivalent to a full subcategory of equivariant…

The character table of the symmetric group $S_n$, of permutations of $n$ objects, is of fundamental interest in theoretical physics, combinatorics as well as computational complexity theory. We investigate the implications of an identity,…

We introduce the notion of a generalised symmetry M of a hamiltonian H. It is a symmetry which has been broken in a very specific manner, involving ladder operators R and R*. In Theorem 1 these generalised symmetries are characterised in…

Specht modules for an Ariki-Koike algebra have been investigated recently in the context of cellular algebras. Thus, these modules are defined as quotient modules of certain ``permutation'' modules, that is, defined as ``cell modules'' via…

For an arbitrary infinite field k of characteristic p > 0, we describe the structure of a block of the algebraic monoid M_n(k) (all n x n matrices over k), or, equivalently, a block of the Schur algebra S(n,p), whose simple modules are…

Let $A$ be a $(G, \chi)$-Hopf algebra with bijection antipode and let $M$ be a $G$-graded $A$-bimodule. We prove that there exists an isomorphism \mathrm{HH}^*_{\rm gr}(A, M)\cong{\rm Ext}^*_{A{-}{\rm gr}} (\K, {^{ad}(M)}), where $\K$ is…

We aim to construct an element satisfying Hemmer's combinatorial criterion for $H^1(\mathfrak{S}_n, S^\lambda)$ to be non-vanishing. In the process, we discover an unexpected and surprising link between the combinatorial theory of integral…

This chapter is based on a series of lectures that I gave at the National University of Singapore in April 2013. The notes survey the representation theory of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type A with an emphasis on understanding the KLR…

For every partition $\lambda$ of a positive integer $n$, let $S^{\lambda}$ be the corresponding Specht module of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, and let $\det(\lambda)\in \mathbb Z$ denote the Gram determinant of the canonical…

We define and study cyclotomic quotients of affine Hecke algebras of type D. We establish an isomorphism between (direct sums of blocks of) these cyclotomic quotients and a generalisation of cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras which are a…

We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees…
