For a discrete group G with Fourier algebra A(G), we study the topological centre $Z_t$ of the bidual. If G is amenable, then $Z_t$ = A(G). But if G contains a non-abelian free group $F_r$, we show that $Z_t$ is strictly larger than A(G).…

Let $\zeta$ be a complex $\ell$th root of unity for an odd integer $\ell>1$. For any complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, let $u_\zeta=u_\zeta({\mathfrak g})$ be the associated "small" quantum enveloping algebra. In general, little is…

In [ZH], R.B. Zhang found a way to link certain formal deformations of the Lie algebra o(2l+1) and the Lie superalgebra osp(1,2l). The aim of this article is to reformulate the Zhang transformation in the context of the quantum enveloping…

We describe the center of the Hecke algebra of a type attached to a Bernstein block under some hypothesis. When $\bf G$ is a connected reductive group over non-archimedean local field $F$ that splits over a tamely ramified extension of $F$…

Quantum groups of semisimple Lie algebras at roots of unity admit several different forms. Among them is the De Concini-Kac form, which is the easiest to define but, perhaps, hardest to study. In this paper, we propose a suitable…

In this paper we show that the center of the partition algebra $\mathcal{A}_{2k}(\delta)$, in the semisimple case, is given by the subalgebra of supersymmetric polynomials in the normalised Jucys-Murphy elements. For the non-semisimple…

Let H be a Hopf algebra which is a finite module over a central sub-Hopf algebra R. We continue the study of such algebras begun in RT/9911234, concentrating in this case on the example of $O_{\epsilon}[G]$, a quantised function algebra at…

We determine the decomposition numbers of the partition algebra when the characteristic of the ground field is zero or larger than the degree of the partition algebra. This will allow us to determine for which exact values of the parameter…
