Let $k$ be a field, $G$ a finite group, and $k[G]$ the group algebra. Let $A$ be a subalgebra of $k[G]$. In general, $A$ is not the group algebra of some subgroup $H$ of $G$. Question: Is there any c …

A vital part of Jacob Lurie's classification of fully extended topological field theories [1], very roughly, says that any representation of the n-Cobordism category $Z: {\rm Cob}_{{n}} \to C$ depends …

Let $G$ be a finite group and $D(G)$ its quantum double. Its finite dimensional complex representations are classified in this Dijkgraaf et al. Quasi-Quantum Groups Related To Orbifold Models. However …

This question is motivated by Why do combinatorial abstractions of geometric objects behave so well? The algebraic geometry of Kazhdan-Lusztig-Stanley polynomials Kazhdan-Lusztig-Stanley polynomial …

$\DeclareMathOperator\Rep{Rep}$It is well-known that the Macdonald "$P$" polynomials deform the Jack "$J$" polynomials [1]. The latter have profound relations with representation theory. For example, …

Question Let $H$ be a finite dimensional complex Hopf algebra and $D(H)$ its quantum double. Can we classify the simple objects in $\operatorname{Rep}D(H)$ if the representations of $H$ are well-unde …

$\DeclareMathOperator\Rep{Rep}\DeclareMathOperator\rank{rank}$Let $G$ be a finite group, and $C=\Rep(G)$ be the monoidal category of complex finite-dimensional representations of $G$. As $C$ is finite …

I haven't seen this question in standard textbooks, so I decide to give it a try here. It might relate to deeper structures of certain TQFTs, but I'm not sure. Let $G$ be a finite group. Its finite-di …

This question is about Macdonald's symmetric polynomials theory. Going through related papers and literature, it seems to me that the magical part of his theory lies in how the k-th weight function $\ …

Let $G$ be a finite group. It can be think of as a $1$-category with one object and $|G|$ many morphisms. If $A$ happens to be abelian, then one can think of it to an $n$-category. Conversly, this doe …

What's the relation between the classical Hecke operators (as defined in J. P. Serre's A course in arithmetic chapter 6) and the Hecke algebra of type $A_1$, i.e. the algebra generated by the vertices …

This is a study note that spells out @Konstantinos's answer explicitly. Preface Our goal is to classify all finite dimensional representations over the complex number field for the quantum double …

Undergraduate-Level Background Let $A$ be an Artin algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $C = Rep(A)$ denotes the category of $k$-linear, $k$-finite dimensional representations of $A …

For a noncommutative semisimple ring $R$, its structure and its category of representations can be largely understood using Artin-Wedderburn theorem. Such structure theory is useful, for example, in t …

TL; DR. In representation theory, it's nice to decompose a given representation into smaller ones. One technique is by utilizing extra symmetries. Explicit examples come from compact groups, and I won …
