Representations of little q-Schur algebras

Jie Du, Qiang Fu and Jian-Pan Wang

Vol. 257 (2012), No. 2, 343–378
Abstract

In previous work by the authors, little q-Schur algebras were introduced as homomorphic images of the infinitesimal quantum groups. Here we investigate representations of these algebras. We classify simple modules for little q-Schur algebras and classify semisimple little q-Schur algebras. Through the classification of the blocks of little q-Schur algebras for n = 2, we determine little q-Schur algebras of finite representation type in the odd roots of unity case.

Keywords
quantum groups, infinitesimal quantum groups, q-Schur algebras, little q-Schur algebras, representations, representation type
