We show that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a simple, simply connected, compact Lie group G is bounded above by the sum of the relative categories of certain distinguished conjugacy classes in G corresponding to the vertices of the…
We define an affine partition algebra by generators and relations and prove a variety of basic results regarding this new algebra analogous to those of other affine diagram algebras. In particular we show that it extends the Schur-Weyl…
The goal of this paper is to present some results and (more importantly) state a number of conjectures suggesting that the representation theory of symplectic reflection algebras for wreath products categorifies certain structures in the…
Two decades ago P. Martin and D. Woodcock made a surprising and prophetic link between statistical mechanics and representation theory. They observed that the decomposition numbers of the blob algebra (that appeared in the context of…
We relate a certain category of sheaves of k-vector spaces on a complex affine Schubert variety to modules over the k-Lie algebra (for ch k>0) or to modules over the small quantum group (for ch k=0) associated to the Langlands dual root…
We establish an algebra-isomorphism between the complexified Grothendieck ring F of certain bimodule categories over a modular tensor category and the endomorphism algebra of appropriate morphism spaces of those bimodule categories. This…
We define the cohomology and formal deformation theories for algebra and bialgebra categories. We suggest some approaches to finding nontrivial deformations of the categories associated to the quantum groups by the work of Lusztig.
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, let $G$ be a finite solvable group of automorphisms of $(W,S)$ and let $\varphi$ be a weight function which is invariant under $G$. Let $\varphi_G$ denote the weight function on $W^G$ obtained by restriction…
These notes are based on a course given at the EPFL in May 2005. It is concerned with the representation theory of Hecke algebras in the non-semisimple case. We explain the role that these algebras play in the modular representation theory…
Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field k of very good characteristic. The Lusztig-Vogan bijection is a bijection between the set of dominant weights for G and the set of irreducible G-equivariant vector bundles on…
This lecture reviews the classification of simple modules of double affine Hecke algebras via the K-theory of Steinberg varieties of affine type
n this paper we study ad-nilpotent ideals of a complex simple Lie algebra $\ccg$ and their connections with affine Weyl groups and nilpotent orbits. We define a left equivalence relation for ad-nilpotent ideals based on their normalizer and…
We compare the (horizontal) trace of the affine Hecke category with the elliptic Hall algebra, thus obtaining an "affine" version of the construction of [14]. Explicitly, we show that the aforementioned trace is generated by the objects…
We develop algebraic and geometrical approaches toward canonical bases for affine q-Schur algebras of arbitrary type introduced in this paper. A duality between an affine q-Schur algebra and a corresponding affine Hecke algebra is…
We extend a result of Yun on minimal reduction types to the parahoric case. This implies a uniqueness property for 2-special representations appearing in the cohomology of certain affine Springer fibers. Using this, we settle a conjecture…
An etale cohomology group $W$ of some irreducible components, which is the smooth compactification of an affine curve $(X^{q^2}-X)^{q-1}=(Y^{q(q+1)}-Y^{q+1})^{q-1},$ in the stable reduction the Lubin-Tate curve of level two is related to…
These are notes for lectures given at MIT in 1999 (Fall). They contain a discussion of affine Hecke algebras with possibly unequal parameters including a theory of cells and a partly conjectural theory of J-rings.
In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…
In this paper, we present an infinite dimensional associative diagram algebra that satisfies the relations of the generalized Temperley--Lieb algebra having a basis indexed by the fully commutative elements (in the sense of Stembridge) of…
The abelian and monoidal structure of the category of smooth weight modules over a non-integrable affine vertex algebra of rank greater than one is an interesting, difficult and essentially wide open problem. Even conjectures are lacking.…
