Imitating the approach of canonical induction formulas we derive a formula that expresses every character of the symmetric group as an integer linear combination of Young characters. It is different from the well-known formula that uses the determinantal form.
We extend Rouquier’s categorification of the braid groups by complexes of Soergel bimodules to the virtual braid groups.
In a highly influential paper, Bidigare, Hanlon and Rockmore showed that a number of popular Markov chains are random walks on the faces of a hyperplane arrangement. Their analysis of these Markov chains took advantage of the monoid structure on the set of faces. This theory was later extended by Brown to a larger class of monoids called left regular bands. In both cases, the representation theory of these monoids played a prominent role. In particular, it was used to compute the spectrum of the...
We compute the Coxeter polynomial of a family of Salem trees, and also the limit of the spectral radii of their Coxeter transformations as the number of their vertices tends to infinity. We also prove that if z is a root of multiplicities for the Coxeter polynomials of the trees respectively, then z is a root for the Coxeter polynomial of their join, of multiplicity at least where .
We define the -restriction and -induction functors on the category of the cyclotomic rational double affine Hecke algebras. This yields a crystal on the set of isomorphism classes of simple modules, which is isomorphic to the crystal of a Fock space.
