Double centralizing theorems for the alternating groups (Q1602024)

Let \(V\) be a finite-dimensional vector space over the field of complex numbers \(F=\mathbb{C}\) and let \(V^{\otimes n}\) denote the \(n\)-fold tensor product of \(V\). The symmetric group \(S_n\) acts on \(V^{\otimes n}\) and makes it into a left \(FS_n\)-module with corresponding Schur algebra \(\text{End}_{FS_n}(V^{\otimes n})\). If we consider the alternating group \(A_n\) as a subgroup of \(S_n\) we obtain the corresponding Schur algebra \(\text{End}_{FA_n}(V^{\otimes n})\). In the paper under review the author studies the above pairs of Schur algebras.
