Algebra Seminar

Higher level Schur-Weyl duality

Alexander Kleshchev

1st August, 12:05-12:55pm, Carslaw 159


Abstract

We present a Schur-Weyl type duality between (degenerate) cyclotomic Hecke algebras and finite W-algebras, and explain how to deduce the main facts on cyclotomic Hecke algebras using representation theory of W-algebras.


After the seminar we will take the speaker to lunch.

See the Algebra Seminar web page for information about other seminars in the series.
