Combinatorial Construction

The wealth of beautiful combinatorics that arise in the representation theory of the symmetric group is well-known. In this paper, we analyze the representations of a related algebraic structure called the rook monoid from a combinatorial angle. In particular, we give a combinatorial construction of the irreducible representations of the rook monoid. Since the rook monoid contains the symmetric group, it is perhaps not surprising that the construction outlined in this paper is very similar to the classic combinatorial construction of the irreducible $S_n$-representations: namely, the Specht modules.

Definition Of

We study the question: Which ordinary irreducible representations of the symmetric group remain irreducible modulo a prime p?Let Sλ be the Specht module corresponding to the partition λ of n. The definition of Sλ is ‘independent of the field we are working over’. When the field has characteristic zero, Sλ is irreducible, and gives the ordinary irreducible representation of corresponding to the partition λ. Thus we are interested in the problem of whether or not Sλ is irreducible over a field of characteristic p.

A $\lambda$-ring version of a Frobenius characteristic for groups of the form $G \wr S_n$ is given. Our methods provide natural analogs of classic results in the representation theory of the symmetric group. Included is a method decompose the Kronecker product of two irreducible representations of $G\wr S_n$ into its irreducible components along with generalizations of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, the Hall inner product, and the reproducing kernel for $G\wr S_n$.

The Relationship

The relationship between the representation theory of the full linear group GL(d) of all non-singular linear transformations of degree d over a field of characteristic zero and that of the symmetric group Sn goes back to Schur and has been expounded by Weyl in his classical groups, [4; cf also 2 and 3]. More and more, the significance of continuous groups for modern physics is being pressed on the attention of mathematicians, and it seems worth recording a remark made to the author by Philip Hall in Edmonton.As is well known, the irreducible representations of Sn are obtainable from the Young diagrams [λ]=[λ1, λ2 ,..., λr] consisting of λ1 nodes in the first row, λ2 in the second row, etc., where λ1≥λ2≥ ... ≥λr and Σ λi = n. If we denote the jth node in the ith row of [λ] by (i,j) then those nodes to the right of and below (i,j), constitute, along with the (i,j) node itself, the (i,j)-hook of length hij.

Kudryavtseva and Mazorchuk exhibited Schur–Weyl duality between the rook monoid algebra [Formula: see text] and the subalgebra [Formula: see text] of the partition algebra [Formula: see text] acting on [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we consider a subalgebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that there is Schur–Weyl duality between the actions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. This paper studies the representation theory of partition algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for rook monoids inductively by considering the multiplicity free tower [Formula: see text] Furthermore, this inductive approach is established as a spectral approach by describing the Jucys–Murphy elements and their actions on the canonical Gelfand–Tsetlin bases, determined by the aforementioned multiplicity free tower, of irreducible representations of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Also, we describe the Jucys–Murphy elements of [Formula: see text] which play a central role in the demonstration of the actions of Jucys–Murphy elements of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

We obtain alternative explicit Specht filtrations for the induced and the restricted Specht modules in the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group (defined over the ring A = ℤ[q1/2, q−1/2], where q is an indeterminate) using C-bases for these modules. Moreover, we provide a link between a certain C-basis for the induced Specht module and the notion of pairs of partitions.

International audience A Gelfand model for a semisimple algebra $\mathsf{A}$ over $\mathbb{C}$ is a complex linear representation that contains each irreducible representation of $\mathsf{A}$ with multiplicity exactly one. We give a method of constructing these models that works uniformly for a large class of combinatorial diagram algebras including: the partition, Brauer, rook monoid, rook-Brauer, Temperley-Lieb, Motzkin, and planar rook monoid algebras. In each case, the model representation is given by diagrams acting via ``signed conjugation" on the linear span of their vertically symmetric diagrams. This representation is a generalization of the Saxl model for the symmetric group, and, in fact, our method is to use the Jones basic construction to lift the Saxl model from the symmetric group to each diagram algebra. In the case of the planar diagram algebras, our construction exactly produces the irreducible representations of the algebra.

We give combinatorial proofs of two identities from the representation theory of the partition algebra ${\Bbb C} A_k(n)$, $n \ge 2k$. The first is $n^k = \sum_\lambda f^\lambda m_k^\lambda$, where the sum is over partitions $\lambda$ of $n$, $f^\lambda$ is the number of standard tableaux of shape $\lambda$, and $m_k^\lambda$ is the number of "vacillating tableaux" of shape $\lambda$ and length $2k$. Our proof uses a combination of Robinson-Schensted-Knuth insertion and jeu de taquin. The second identity is $B(2k) = \sum_\lambda (m_k^\lambda)^2$, where $B(2k)$ is the number of set partitions of $\{1, \ldots, 2k\}$. We show that this insertion restricts to work for the diagram algebras which appear as subalgebras of the partition algebra: the Brauer, Temperley-Lieb, planar partition, rook monoid, planar rook monoid, and symmetric group algebras.

Supercharacter Theory

It is well-known that understanding the representation theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices $U_n$ over a finite field is a wild problem. By instead considering approximately irreducible representations (supercharacters), one obtains a rich combinatorial theory analogous to that of the symmetric group, where we replace partition combinatorics with set-partitions. This paper studies the supercharacter theory of a family of subgroups that interpolate between $U_{n-1}$ and $U_n$. We supply several combinatorial indexing sets for the supercharacters, supercharacter formulas for these indexing sets, and a combinatorial rule for restricting supercharacters from one group to another. A consequence of this analysis is a Pieri-like restriction rule from $U_n$ to $U_{n-1}$ that can be described on set-partitions (analogous to the corresponding symmetric group rule on partitions).

Necessary And Sufficient

In the first half of this paper we introduce a new method of examining the q-hook structure of a Young diagram, and use it to prove most of the standard results about q-cores and q-quotients. In particular, we give a quick new proof of Chung's Conjecture (2), which determines the number of diagrams with a given q-weight and says how many of them are q-regular. In the case where q is prime, this tells us how many ordinary and q-modular irreducible representations of the symmetric group there are in a given q-block. None of the results of section 2 is original. In the next section we give a new definition, the p-power diagram, which is closely connected with the p-quotient. This concept is interesting because when p is prime a condition involving the p-power diagram appears to be a necessary and sufficient criterion for the diagram to be p-regular and the corresponding ordinary irreducible representation of to remain irreducible modulo p. In this paper we derive combinatorial results involving the p-power diagram, and in a later article we investigate the relevant representation theory.

We find raising and lowering operators distinguishing the degenerate states for the Hamiltonian [Formula: see text] at x = ± 1 for spin 1 that was given by Happer et al.1,2 to interpret the curious degeneracies of the Zeeman effect for condensed vapor of 87 Rb . The operators obey Yangian commutation relations. We show that the curious degeneracies seem to verify the Yangian algebraic structure for quantum tensor space and are consistent with the representation theory of Y(sl(2)).
