Let $\rho:B_n \rightarrow H_2(\overline{C_2 P_n})$ denote the Lawrence–Krammer representation of the braid group on $n$ symbols. The group $H_2(\overline{C_2 P_n})$ is a free $\mathbb{Z}[q,t]$-module …

I am coding up parts of Morton's '78 paper "On the eigenvectors of Schur's matrix". These are a cyclic shift of the eigenvectors of the DFT. On pg. 126 he describes the eigenvectors (15), and states t …

Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ a unitary irreducible rep’n of dimension $N$. Is there a fast (polynomial in $\log|G|$) algorithm to compute $\displaystyle \min_{g \in G}d(x,gy)=\max_{g \in G} Re\la …

Is anything known about representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ for categories other than $\textbf{Vect}_k$, vector spaces and linear maps over a field $k$. That is, a group $G$ can be considered …

The number of simple modules $D^{\lambda}=S^{\lambda}/S^{\lambda}\cap (S^{\lambda})^{\bot}$ of the symmetric group over a field $k$ such that $\text{char}(k)=p > 0$ is the number of $p$-regular partit …

What are the dimensions of the simple modules $D^{\lambda}=S^{\lambda}/S^{\lambda}\cap (S^{\lambda})^{\perp}$ for the modular representation theory of $S_n$, i.e. $\operatorname{char}(k)=p>0$? I know …
