Abstract

We prove a generalisation to any characteristic of a result of Macdonald that describes strict polynomial functors in characteristic zero in terms of representations of the groupoid of finite sets and bijections. Our result will give an analogous description in terms of finite multisets and an extension of the notion of bijection appropriate for multisets. A projected application is to the description of strict polynomial monads that will give a notion generalising (linear algebra) operads.

Log-concavity and unimodality of cluster monomials in fan coordinates of type A_n

We prove that every cluster monomial of type A_n is log-concave and unimodal with respect to its Laurent expansion in a fan initial cluster. We derive a coefficient formula for laminar interval products arising from compatible diagonals in the polygon model. This gives partial affirmative answers to the log-concavity conjecture of Chen-Huang-Sun and the unimodality conjecture of Chen. Our result for cluster A-varieties also complements Shen's study on the supports of products of canonical basis elements for cluster X-varieties of type A_n.

Cells, cacti, and the asymptotic algebra

We prove that the action of the cactus group on a Coxeter group defined by Losev and Bonnafé can be realised as an action on the asymptotic algebra of the Hecke algebra, thus resolving a conjecture of Rouquier and White. We prove this in the setting of general (potentially unequal) parameters, conditional on Lusztig's conjectures P1-P15, which are known to hold in the equal parameter case.

Arithmetic Kac Theory for Ramified Species

Let $K=k((t))$, where $k$ is algebraically closed of characteristic zero, and let $Λ$ be an acyclic ramified species over $K$. An indecomposable $Λ$-module can split after extending $K$. The number of its distinct geometric indecomposable summands is the degree of its residue endomorphism field $\operatorname{End}_Λ(M)/\operatorname{rad}\operatorname{End}_Λ(M)$. We use the positive roots and cyclic automorphism of the unfolded quiver to determine the number of isomorphism classes at every nonzero rank and residue degree $e\ge1$: it is zero, an explicitly computable finite number, or $|K|$. For every invariant imaginary root of the unfolding, including at nonprimitive ranks, we construct a smooth invariant family of absolutely indecomposable representations whose rational quotient by the change-of-bases group has dimension $1-q_d(β)$. We characterize ranks admitting absolutely Schur representations by the Schur roots of the unfolded quiver. For the associated species over finite fields, we realize the polynomials counting absolutely indecomposable representations as graded traces of the unfolding automorphism on preprojective BPS cohomology. Galois-orbit formulas and Möbius inversion then recover the counts at each residue degree. Finally, we prove an all-rank symmetrizable analogue of Kac's constant-term conjecture: the constant term of the polynomial counting all indecomposables, rather than only absolutely indecomposable ones, equals the corresponding Kac--Moody root multiplicity. This constant is independent of the symmetrizer and modulation.
