    We determine the blocks of the Brauer algebra in characteristic zero. We also give information on the submodule structure of standard modules for this algebra

    A geometric characterisation of the blocks of the Brauer algebra

    Get PDF
    We give a geometric description of the blocks of the Brauer algebra Bn(δ)B_n(\delta) in characteristic zero as orbits of the Weyl group of type DnD_n. We show how the corresponding affine Weyl group controls the representation theory of the Brauer algebra in positive characteristic, with orbits corresponding to unions of blocks.Comment: 26 pages, 24 figure
