Description

The representation theory of the symmetric group Sn in characteristic two (or more generally, Hecke algebras at a second root of unity) can be approached from a number of directions; classically, via Specht modules and the cellular structure of Sn, or more recently via the larger stratified structure of the KLR algebra of type A1(1). I will discuss a combinatorial bridge between between these two perspectives. This bridge allows one to augment Kleshchev’s famous branching graph for Sn with a richer set of edges corresponding to induction/restriction by cuspidal modules for positive roots of type A1(1), and yields new analogues of James’ regularization theorem for Specht modules in this setting as well.
