There is a classical connection between the representation theory of the symmetric group and the general linear group called Schur-Weyl duality. Variations on this principle yield analogous connections between the symmetric group and other…

The symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$ and the partition algebra $\mathsf{P}_k(n)$ centralize one another in their actions on the $k$-fold tensor power $\mathsf{M}_n^{\otimes k}$ of the $n$-dimensional permutation module $\mathsf{M}_n$ of…

Through dualities on representations on tensor powers and symmetric powers respectively, the partition algebra and multiset partition algebra have been used to study long-standing questions in the representation theory of the symmetric…

We introduce the multiset partition algebra $\mathcal{MP}_k(\xi)$ over $F[\xi]$, where $F$ is a field of characteristic $0$ and $k$ is a positive integer. When $\xi$ is specialized to a positive integer $n$, we establish the Schur-Weyl…

The partition algebra is an associative algebra with a basis of set-partition diagrams and multiplication given by diagram concatenation. It contains as subalgebras a large class of diagram algebras including the Brauer, planar partition,…

Assume $\mathsf{M}_n$ is the $n$-dimensional permutation module for the symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$, and let $\mathsf{M}_n^{\otimes k}$ be its $k$-fold tensor power. The partition algebra $\mathsf{P}_k(n)$ maps surjectively onto the…

We show that the poset of non-trivial partitions of 1,2,...,n has a fundamental homology class with coefficients in a Lie superalgebra. Homological duality then rapidly yields a range of known results concerning the integral representations…

The partition algebras are algebras of diagrams (which contain the group algebra of the symmetric group and the Brauer algebra) such that the multiplication is given by a combinatorial rule and such that the structure constants of the…

We propose a new approach to study the Kronecker coefficients by using the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra. We explain the limiting behavior and associated bounds in the context of the partition…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

We introduce the quasi-partition algebra $QP_k(n)$ as a centralizer algebra of the symmetric group. This algebra is a subalgebra of the partition algebra and inherits many similar combinatorial properties. We construct a basis for…

We show that the homology of the partition algebras, interpreted as appropriate Tor-groups, is isomorphic to that of the symmetric groups in a range of degrees that increases with the number of nodes. Furthermore, we show that when the…

We review and introduce several approaches to the study of centralizer algebras of the infinite symmetric group $S_\infty$. Our study is led by the double commutant relationships between finite symmetric groups and partition algebras; each…

We prove that the permutations of $\{1,\dots, n\}$ having an increasing (resp., decreasing) subsequence of length $n-r$ index a subset of the set of all $r$th Kronecker powers of $n \times n$ permutation matrices which is a basis for the…

The symmetric coinvariant algebra $C[x_1, dots, x_n]_{S_n}$ is the quotient algebra of the polynomial ring by the ideal generated by symmetric polynomials vanishing at the origin. It is known that the algebra is isomorphic to the regular…

We establish classical and categorical Howe dualities between the Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{p}(m)$ and $\mathfrak{p}(n)$, for $m,n \geq 1$. We also describe a presentation via generators and relations as well as a Kostant…

In this article, we first investigate the partitions whose parts are congruent to $a$ or $b$ modulo $k$ with the aid of separable integer partition classes with modulus $k$ introduced by Andrews. Then, we introduce the…

Hooks are prominent in representation theory (of symmetric groups) and they play a role in number theory (via cranks associated to Ramanujan's congruences). A partition of a positive integer $n$ has a Young diagram representation. To each…

We identify the dimension of the centralizer of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_d$ in the partition algebra $\mathcal{A}_d(\delta)$ and in the Brauer algebra $\mathcal{B}_d(\delta)$ with the number of multidigraphs with $d$ arrows and the…

Let $\hat{A}_n$ be the completion by the degree of a differential operator of the $n$-th Weyl algebra with generators $x_1,\ldots,x_n,\partial^1,\ldots,\partial^n$. Consider $n$ elements $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ in $\hat{A}_n$ of the form $$ X_i =…
