    The blocks of the Brauer algebra in characteristic zero

    Get PDF
    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

    The partition algebra and the Kronecker product (Extended Abstract)

    Get PDF
    We propose a new approach to study the Kronecker coefficients by using the Schur–Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra

    Simple modules for the partition algebra and monotone convergence of Kronecker coefficients

    Get PDF
    We construct bases of the simple modules for partition algebras which are indexed by paths in an alcove geometry. This allows us to give a concrete interpretation (and new proof) of the monotone convergence property for Kronecker coefficients using stratifications of the cell modules of the partition algebra

    The partition algebra and the Kronecker coefficients

    Get PDF
    We propose a new approach to study the Kronecker coefficients by using the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra. We explain the limiting behaviour and associated bounds in the context of the partition algebra. Our analysis leads to a uniform description of the reduced Kronecker coefficients when one of the indexing partitions is a hook or a two-part partition

    The blocks of the periplectic Brauer algebra in positive characteristic
