The cell structure, the Brauer tree structure, and extensions of cell modules for Hecke orders of dihedral groups (Q5942804)

Cellular algebras were introduced by \textit{J. J. Graham} and \textit{G. I. Lehrer} [Invent. Math. 123, No. 1, 1-34 (1996; Zbl 0853.20029)] by requiring the existence of a nice basis. They can also be defined in terms of ring theoretic language as done by \textit{S. König} and \textit{C. Xi} [in CMS Conf. Proc. 24, 365-386 (1998; Zbl 0926.16016)]. Recently, the author of the paper under review extended the ring theoretic definition of cellular algebras to orders and introduced the so-called cellular orders [in An. Ştiinţ. Univ. ``Ovidius'' Constanţa, Ser. Mat. 6, No. 2, 119-138 (1998; Zbl 0977.20001)], which can be used to handle problems in ``integral'' theory. The main result of this paper shows that the Hecke order of the dihedral group of order \(2p^n\) over \(\mathbb{Z}[q,q^{-1}]\) for a prime \(p\geq 3\) is a projectively cellular order. Moreover, it is shown that this Hecke order is a Brauer tree order with two edges. Thus a classification of irreducible modules is provided. The author also calculates the extension groups between cell modules.
