Generalized descent algebra and construction of irreducible characters of hyperoctahedral groups

Cédric Bonnafé, Christophe Hohlweg (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We construct a subalgebra Σ ( W n ) of dimension 2 · 3 n - 1 of the group algebra of the Weyl group W n of type B n containing its usual Solomon algebra and the one of 𝔖 n : Σ ( W n ) is nothing but the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra but our point of view leads us to a construction of a surjective morphism of algebras Σ ( W n ) Z Irr ( W n ) . Jöllenbeck’s construction of irreducible characters of the symmetric group by using the coplactic equivalence classes can then be transposed to W n . In an appendix, P. Baumann and C. Hohlweg present in an explicit and...

Graph Cohomology, Colored Posets and Homological Algebra in Functor Categories

Jolanta Słomińska (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The homology theory of colored posets, defined by B. Everitt and P. Turner, is generalized. Two graph categories are defined and Khovanov type graph cohomology are interpreted as Ext* groups in functor categories associated to these categories. The connection, described by J. H. Przytycki, between the Hochschild homology of an algebra and the graph cohomology, defined for the same algebra and a cyclic graph, is explained from the point of view of homological algebra in functor categories.

Hardness of embedding simplicial complexes in d

Jiří Matoušek, Martin Tancer, Uli Wagner (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k d be the following algorithmic problem: Given a finite simplicial complex K of dimension at most k , does there exist a (piecewise linear) embedding of K into d ? Known results easily imply polynomiality of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k 2 ( k = 1 , 2 ; the case k = 1 , d = 2 is graph planarity) and of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k 2 k for all k 3 . We show that the celebrated result of Novikov on the algorithmic unsolvability of recognizing the 5-sphere implies that 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 d d and 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 ( d - 1 ) d are undecidable for each d 5 . Our main result is NP-hardness of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 2 4 and, more generally, of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k d for all k , d with...

Harish-Chandra homomorphisms and symplectic reflection algebras for wreath-products

Pavel Etingof, Wee Liang Gan, Victor Ginzburg, Alexei Oblomkov (2007)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

The main result of the paper is a natural construction of the spherical subalgebra in a symplectic reflection algebra associated with a wreath-product in terms of quantum hamiltonian reduction of an algebra of differential operators on a representation space of an extended Dynkin quiver. The existence of such a construction has been conjectured in [EG]. We also present a new approach to reflection functors and shift functors for generalized preprojective algebras and symplectic reflection algebras...
