Abstract

In this paper we prove an analogue of Jantzen's sum formula for the q-Weyl modules of the q-Schur algebra and, as a consequence, derive the analogue of Schaper's theorem for the q-Specht modules of the Hecke algebras of type A. We apply these results to classify the irreducible q-Weyl modules and the irreducible (e-regular) q-Specht modules, defined over any field. In turn, this allows us to identify all of the ordinary irreducible representations of the finite general linear group GL_n(q) which remain irreducible modulo a prime p not dividing q.
