Abstract

We compare the canonical bases of level-11 quantised Fock spaces in affine types A(1)A^{(1)} and A(2)A^{(2)}, showing how to derive the canonical basis in type A2n(2)A^{(2)}_{2n} from the the canonical basis in type An(1)A^{(1)}_n in certain weight spaces. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the canonical basis in extremal weight spaces, which correspond to RoCK blocks of double covers of symmetric groups. In a forthcoming paper with Kleshchev and Morotti we will use this formula to find the decomposition numbers for RoCK blocks of double covers with abelian defect.
