Representations of Hecke-Clifford superalgebras at roots of unity

In this article, we give a classification of irreducible completely splittable representations of affine Hecke-Clifford superalgebras $H_n^{\mathrm{aff}}(q)$ when $q^2$ is a primitive $h$-th root of unity. As an application, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the finite Hecke-Clifford superalgebra $H_n(q)$ to be semisimple. Specially we show that $H_n(q)$ is semisimple if and only $h >n$ in the case $h$ is odd and $h >2n$ in the case $h$ is even.

Mirabolic Hecke algebras, Schur-Weyl duality and Frobenius character formulas

We first introduce a new presentation for the mirabolic Hecke algebra $\mathscr{H}_{n,R}(q)$ over an arbitrary commutative ring $R$ and derive a new basis. Based on this presentation, specializing to the case of $\mathscr{H}_n(q)$ over the field $\mathbb{C}(q)$, we construct a basis for the cocenter of $\mathscr{H}_n(q)$, which facilitates the definition of its character table. We further establish a Schur--Weyl duality between $\mathscr{H}_n(q)$ and the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_r)$. As an application, we obtain Frobenius character formulas for the irreducible characters of $\mathscr{H}_n(q)$ within the ring of symmetric functions. Finally, we derive a recursive Murnaghan--Nakayama rule for the computation of the character table.

Stability of the centers of group algebras of general affine groups $GA_n(q)$

The general affine group $GA_n(q)$ consisting of invertible affine transformations of an affine space of codimension one in the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, can be viewed as a subgroup of the general linear group $GL_{n}(q)$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. In the article, we introduce the notion of the type of each matrix in $GA_n(q)$ and give an explicit representative for each conjugacy class. Then the center $\mathscr{A}_n(q)$ of the integral group algebra $\mathbb{Z}[GA_n(q)]$ is proved to be a filtered algebra via the length function defined via the reflections lying in $GA_n(q)$. We show in the associated graded algebras $\mathscr{G}_n(q)$ the structure constants with respect to the basis consisting of the conjugacy class sums are independent of $n$. The structure constants in $\mathscr{G}_n(q)$ is further shown to contain the structure constants in the graded algebras introduced by the first author and Wang for $GL_n(q)$ as special cases. The stability leads to a universal stable center $\mathscr{G}(q)$ with positive integer structure constants only depending on $q$ which governs the algebras $\mathscr{G}_n(q)$ for all $n$.

On representation theory of cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford algebras

In this article, we give an explicit construction of the simple modules for both non-degenerate and degenerate cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to $2$ under certain condition in terms of parameters in defining these algebras. As an application, we obtain a sufficient condition on the semi-simplicity of these cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras via a dimension comparison. As a byproduct, both generic non-degenerate and degenerate cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras are shown to be semisimple.

Constructing the quantum queer supergroup using Hecke-Clifford superalgebras

In [DGLW], we use certain special elements and their commutation relations in the Hecke-Clifford algebras $H^c_{r,R}$ to derive some fundamental multiplication formulas associated with the natural bases in queer $q$-Schur superalgebras $Q_q(n,r;R)$ introduced in [DW2]. Here a natural basis element is defined by a special element $T_{A^{\star}}$ in $H^c_{r,R}$ associated with a pair of certain $n\times n$ matrices $A^{\star}=(A^{\bar0}|A^{\bar1})$ over $\mathbb{N}$ with entries sum to $r$. The definition of $T_{A^\star}$ consists of an element $c_{A^{\star}}$ in the Clifford superalgebra and an element $T_A$ in the Hecke algebra, where $A=A^{\bar0}+A^{\bar1}$. Note that all $T_A$ can be used to define the natural basis for the corresponding $q$-Schur algebra $S_q(n,r)$. This paper is a continuation of [DGLW]. We start with standardized queer $v$-Schur superalgebras $ Q^s_v(n,r)$, for $R=\mathbb{Z}[v,v^{-1}]$ and $q=v^2$, and their natural bases. With the $v$-Schur algebra ${ S}_v(n,r)$ at the background, the first key ingredient is a standardisation of the natural basis for $Q^s_v(n,r)$ and their associated standard multiplication formulas. By introducing some long elements of finite sums, we then extend the formulas to these long elements which allow us to explicitly define $\mathbb{Q}(v)$-superalgebra homomorphisms $\xi_{n,r}$ from the quantum queer supergroup $\boldsymbol{U}_v(\mathfrak{q}_n)$ to queer $q$-Schur superalgebras $\boldsymbol{Q}^s_v(n,r)$, for all $r\geq1$. Finally, taking limits of long elements yields certain infinitely long elements as formal infinite series which eventually lead to a new construction for $\boldsymbol{U}_v(\mathfrak{q}_n)$.

Some multiplication formulas in queer $q$-Schur superalgebras

Building on the work [18], where some standard basis for the queer $q$-Schur superalgebra $\mathcal{Q}_q(n,r;R)$ is defined by a labelling set of matrices and their associated double coset representatives, we investigate the matrix representation of the regular module of $\mathcal{Q}_q(n,r;R)$ with respect to this basis. More precisely, we derive explicitly (resp., partial explicitly) the multiplication formulas of the basis elements by certain even (resp., odd) generators of a queer $q$-Schur superalgebra. These multiplication formulas are highly technical to derive, especially in the odd case. It requires to discover many multiplication (or commutation) formulas in the Hecke--Clifford algebra $\mathcal{H}_{r,R}^c$ associated with the labelling matrices. For example, for a given such a labelling matrix $A^{\!\star}$, there are several matrices $w(A)$, $\sigma(A), \widetilde A$, and $\widehat A$ associated with the base matrix $A$ of $A^{\!\star}$, where $w(A)$ is used to compute a reduced expression of the distinguished double coset representatives $d_A$, and the other matrices are used to describe the permutation $d_A$ and the SDP (commutation) condition between $T_{d_A}$ and generators of the Clifford subsuperalgebra. With these multiplication formulas, we will construct a new realisation of the quantum queer supergroup in a forthcoming paper [13], and to give new applications to the integral Schur--Olshanski duality and its associated representation theory at roots of unity.

Approaching quantum queer supergroups using finite dimensional superalgebras (Preliminary version)

The idea of using a sequence of finite dimensional algebras to approach a quantum linear group (i.e., a quantum $\mathfrak{gl}_n$) was first introduced by Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson [BLM]. In their work, the algebras are convolution algebras of some finite partial flag varieties whose certain structure constants relative to the orbital basis satisfy a stabilization property. This property leads to the definition of an infinite dimensional idempotented algebra. Finally, taking a limit process yields a new realization for the quantum $\mathfrak{gl}_n$. Since then, this work has been modified [DF2] and generalized to quantum affine $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ (see [GV, L] for the geometric approach and [DDF, DF] for the algebraic approach and a new realization) and quantum super $\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}$ [DG], and, more recently, to convolution algebras arising from type $B/C$ geometry and $i$-quantum groups $\boldsymbol U^\jmath$ and $\boldsymbol U^\imath$; see [BKLW, DWu1, DWu2]. This paper extends the algebraic approach to the quantum queer supergroup $U_{v}(\mathfrak{q}_n)$ via finite dimensional queer $q$-Schur superalgebras.

Modular representation theory of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras

We explore the modular representation theory of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras. We provide an equivalence between the category of finite dimensional representations of the affine (resp. cyclotomic) Yokonuma-Hecke algebra and that of an algebra which is a direct sum of tensor products of affine Hecke algebras of type $A$ (resp. Ariki-Koike algebras). As one of the applications, the irreducible representations of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras are classified over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. Secondly, the modular branching rules for these algebras are obtained; moreover, the resulting modular branching graphs for cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras are identified with crystal graphs of irreducible integrable representations of affine Lie algebras of type $A.$

Stability of the centers of group algebras of $GL_n(q)$

The center $\mathscr{Z}_n(q)$ of the integral group algebra of the general linear group $GL_n(q)$ over a finite field admits a filtration with respect to the reflection length. We show that the structure constants of the associated graded algebras $\mathscr{G}_n(q)$ are independent of $n$, and this stability leads to a universal stable center with positive integer structure constants which governs the algebras $\mathscr{G}_n(q)$ for all $n$. Various structure constants of the stable center are computed and several conjectures are formulated. Analogous stability properties for symmetric groups and wreath products were established earlier by Farahat-Higman and the second author.

Standard multipartitions and a combinatorial affine Schur-Weyl duality

We introduce the notion of standard multipartitions and establish a one-to-one correspondence between standard multipartitions and irreducible representations with integral weights for the affine Hecke algebra of type A with a parameter q which is not a root of unity. We then extend the correspondence to all Kleshchev multipartitions for Ariki-Koike algebras of integral type. By the affine Schur--Weyl duality, we further extend this to a correspondence between standard multipartitions and Drinfeld multipolynomials of integral type whose associated irreducible polynomial representations completely determine all irreducible polynomial representations for the quantum loop algebra. We will see, in particular, the notion of standard multipartitions gives rise to a combinatorial description of the affine Schur--Weyl duality in terms of a column-reading vs. row reading of residues of a multipartition.

The queer q-Schur superalgebra

As a natural generalization quantum Schur algebras associated with the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group, we introduce the quantum Schur superalgebra of type Q associated with the Hecke-Clifford superalgebra, which, by definition, is the endomorphism algebra of the induced module over the Hecke-Clifford superalgebra from certain permutation modules over the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. We will describe certain integral bases for these superalgebras in terms of matrices and will establish the base change property for them. We will also identify the quantum Schur superalgebra of type Q with the quantum queer Schur superalgebras investigated in the context of quantum queer supergroups and then provide a classification of their irreducible representations over a certain extension of the field of complex rational functions.

Presenting queer Schur superalgebras

Associated to the two types of finite dimensional simple superalgebras, there are the general linear Lie superalgebra and the queer Lie superalgebra. The universal enveloping algebras of these Lie superalgebras act on the tensor spaces of the natural representations and, thus, define certain finite dimensional quotients, the Schur superalgebras and the queer Schur superalgebra. In this paper, we introduce the quantum analogue of the queer Schur superalgebra and investigate the presentation problem for both the queer Schur superalgebra and its quantum analogue.

Frobenius map for the centers of Hecke algebras

We introduce a commutative associative graded algebra structure on the direct sum Z of the centers of the Hecke algebras associated to the symmetric groups in n letters for all n. As a natural deformation of the classical construction of Frobenius, we establish an algebra isomorphism from the algebra Z to the ring of symmetric functions. This isomorphism provides an identification between several distinguished bases for the centers (introduced by Geck-Rouquier, Jones, Lascoux) and explicit bases of symmetric functions.

Frobenius character formula and spin generic degrees for Hecke-Clifford algebra

The spin analogues of several classical concepts and results for Hecke algebras are established. A Frobenius type formula is obtained for irreducible characters of the Hecke-Clifford algebra. A precise characterization of the trace functions allows us to define the character table for the algebra. The algebra is endowed with a canonical symmetrizing trace form, with respect to which the spin generic degrees are formulated and shown to coincide with the spin fake degrees. We further provide a characterization of the trace functions and the symmetrizing trace form on the spin Hecke algebra which is Morita super-equivalent to the Hecke-Clifford algebra.

Lectures on spin representation theory of symmetric groups

The representation theory of the symmetric groups is intimately related to geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and Lie theory. The spin representation theory of the symmetric groups was originally developed by Schur. In these lecture notes, we present a coherent account of the spin counterparts of several classical constructions such as the Frobenius characteristic map, Schur duality, the coinvariant algebra, Kostka polynomials, and Young's seminormal form.

The GL_n(q)-module structure of the symmetric algebra around the Steinberg module

We determine the graded composition multiplicity in the symmetric algebra S(V) of the natural GL_n(q)-module V, or equivalently in the coinvariant algebra of V, for a large class of irreducible modules around the Steinberg module. This was built on a computation, via connections to algebraic groups, of the Steinberg module multiplicity in a tensor product of S(V) with other tensor spaces of fundamental weight modules.
