The symplectic group branching algebra, B, is a graded algebra whose components encode the multiplicities of irreducible representations of Sp(2n-2,C) in each irreducible representation of Sp(2n,C). By describing on B an ASL structure, we…
Schur-Weyl duality is a fundamental framework in combinatorial representation theory. It intimately relates the irreducible representations of a group to the irreducible representations of its centralizer algebra. We investigate the analog…
A classic result of representation theory is Brauer's construction of a diagrammatical (geometrical) algebra whose matrix representation is a certain given matrix algebra, which is the commutating algebra of the enveloping algebra of the…
The partition algebra $\mathsf{P}_k(n)$ and the symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$ are in Schur-Weyl duality on the $k$-fold tensor power $\mathsf{M}_n^{\otimes k}$ of the permutation module $\mathsf{M}_n$ of $\mathsf{S}_n$, so there is a…
In a recent paper Cohen, Liu and Yu introduce the Type $C$ Brauer algebra. We show that this algebra is an iterated inflation of hyperoctahedral groups, and that it is cellularly stratified. This gives an indexing set of the standard…
We study the algebra $\Sigma_n$ induced by the action of the symmetric group $S_n$ on $V^{\otimes n}$ when $\dim V=2$. Our main result is that the space of symmetric elements of $\Sigma_n$ is linearly spanned by the involutions of $S_n$.
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
In this paper, we realize the algebra of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-relations, signed partition algebras and partition algebras as tabular algebras and prove the cellularity of these algebras using the method of \cite{GM1}. Using the results of Graham…
We initiate the representation theory of the degenerate affine periplectic Brauer algebra on $n$ strands by constructing its finite-dimensional calibrated representations when $n=2$. We show that any such representation that is…
We study a two-parameter family of quantum spin systems on the complete graph, which is the most general model invariant under the complex orthogonal group. In spin $S=\frac{1}{2}$ it is equivalent to the XXZ model, and in spin $S=1$ to the…
Formulating a Schubert problem as the solutions to a system of equations in either Pl\"ucker space or in the local coordinates of a Schubert cell typically involves more equations than variables. We present a novel primal-dual formulation…
Using brane quantization, we study the representation theory of the spherical double affine Hecke algebra of type $A_1$ in terms of the topological A-model on the moduli space of flat SL(2,C)-connections on a once-punctured torus. In…
Let $V^{\otimes n}$ be the $n$-fold tensor product of a vector space $V.$ Following I. Schur we consider the action of the symmetric group $S_n$ on $V^{\otimes n}$ by permuting coordinates. In the `super' ($\Bbb Z_2$ graded) case…
A new basis of the $q$-Brauer algebra is introduced, which is a lift of Murphy bases of Hecke algebras of symmetric groups. This basis is a cellular basis in the sense of Graham and Lehrer. Subsequently, using combinatorial language we…
Schur-Weyl duality concerns the actions of $\text{GL}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ and $S_{k}$ on tensor powers of the form $V^{\otimes k}$ for an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$. There are rich histories within representation theory, combinatorics,…
The braid group $B_n$ maps homomorphically into the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\TL_n$. It was shown by Zinno that the homomorphic images of simple elements arising from the dual presentation of the braid group $B_n$ form a basis for the vector…
In this paper, we determine the structure and representation theory of the Brauer algebra associated to a complex reflection group (here called the Brauer-Chen algebra), defined by Chen in 2011. We prove that it is semisimple and provide a…
This paper investigates the homology of the Brauer algebras, interpreted as appropriate Tor-groups, and shows that it is closely related to the homology of the symmetric group. Our main results show that when the defining parameter of the…
We study ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric $Spin(10)$ chiral gauge theories with a single spinor representation and $N$ vector representations. We present a dual description in terms of an ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(N-5)$ chiral gauge theory…
The twin group $TW_n$ on $n$ strands is the group generated by $t_1, \dots, t_{n-1}$ with defining relations $t_i^2=1$, $t_it_j = t_jt_i$ if $|i-j|>1$. We find a new instance of semisimple Schur--Weyl duality for tensor powers of a natural…
