Let G be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p whose corresponding root system is irreducible. In this paper we calculate the Weyl filtration dimension of the induced G-modules, \nabla(\lambda) and…

In this paper we consider how the \nabla-, \Delta- and global dimensions of a quasi-hereditary algebra are interrelated. We first consider quasi-hereditary algebras with simple preserving duality and such that if \mu < \lambda then \nabla…

Let G be GL_N or SL_N as reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of positive characteristic p. We prove several results that were previously established only when N < 6 or p > 2^N. Let G act rationally on a finitely generated…

$\nabla$-good filtration dimensions of modules and of algebras are introduced by Parker for quasi-hereditary algebras. These concepts are now generalized to the setting of standardly stratified algebras. Let $A$ be a standardly stratified…

Intuitively, the filter dimension of an algebra or a module measures how `close' standard filtrations of the algebra or the module are. In particular, for a simple algebra it also measures the growth of how `fast' one can prove that the…

We prove that cellular Noetherian algebras with finite global dimension are split quasi-hereditary over a regular commutative Noetherian ring with finite Krull dimension and their quasi-hereditary structure is unique, up to equivalence. In…

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…

Many connections and dualities in representation theory can be explained using quasi-hereditary covers in the sense of Rouquier. The concepts of relative dominant and codominant dimension with respect to a module, introduced recently by the…

Given a quasi-hereditary superalgebra $A$, the first author and R. Muth have defined generalized Schur bi-superalgebras $T^A(n)$ and proved that these algebras are again quasi-hereditary. In particular, $T^A(n)$ comes with a family of…

We define a family of universal finite-dimensional highest weight modules for affine Lie algebras, we call these Weyl modules. We conjecture that these are the classical limits of the irreducible finite--dimensional representations of the…

Left and right "generalized Schur algebras", previously introduced by the author, are defined and analyzed. Filtrations of these algebras lead, in most cases, to parameterizations of the their irreducible representations over fields of…

Polynomial representations of general linear groups and modules over Schur algebras are compared. We work over an arbitrary commutative ring and show that Schur-Weyl duality is the key for an equivalence between both categories.

We extend the family of classical Schur algebras in type A, which determine the polynomial representation theory of general linear groups over an infinite field, to a larger family, the rational Schur algebras, which determine the rational…

A cell algebra structure is found for a family of generalized Schur algebras previously studied by the author. This cell algebra structure is then used to construct the irreducible representations of these algebras and to determine when the…

Let F be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. The third author and Will Turner gave an explicit description of the extension algebra of Weyl modules for GL_2(F). This, in particular, produced an explicit basis. We…

We consider the Schur multipliers of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras. If the algebra has dimension greater than one, then the Schur multiplier is non-zero. We give a direct proof of an upper bound for the dimension of the Schur…

We consider the representation dimension, for fixed $n\geq2$, of ordinary and quantised Schur algebras $S(n,r)$ over a field $k$. For $k$ of positive characteristic $p$ we give a lower bound valid for all $p$. We also give an upper bound in…

Making use of a Howe duality involving the infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra $\hgltwo$ and the finite-dimensional group $GL_l$ we derive a character formula for a certain class of irreducible quasi-finite representations of $\hgltwo$ in…

The aim of this paper is to provide a criterion to determine, by quivers with relations, when an algebra has global dimension at most two. In order to do that, we introduce a new class of algebras of global dimension three, and we call them…

Let $S(m|n,d)$ be the Schur superalgebra whose supermodules correspond to the polynomial representations of the supergroup $GL(m|n)$ of degree $d$. In this paper we determine the representation type of these algebras (i.e. classify the ones…
