Title: The Hecke category in Lie theory. Abstract: The Hecke category provides the canonical setting for the study of (modular) Lie theoretic objects via Kazhdan—Lusztig theory. In this talk we discuss recent results on how these Hecke categories control the representation theory of symmetric groups,...

Algebra seminar - Stacey Law
13:00 - 14:00 21 May 2024
Title: A recursive formula for plethysm coefficients and some applications Abstract: Plethysms lie at the intersection of representation theory and algebraic combinatorics. We give a recursive formula for a family of plethysm coefficients encompassing those involved in Foulkes' Conjecture, and describe...

Title: Local real closed SV-rings of finite rank and their model theory Abstract: A commutative and unital ring A is a survaluation ring, or SV-ring for short, if A/ is a valuation ring for all prime ideals of A. SV-rings were first introduced in the early 1990s within the context of rings of continuous...
