Affine quiver Schur algebras and \(p\)-adic \(\mathrm{GL}_n\) (Q1740496)

The (affine) Schur algebra is defined as the endomorphism algebra of certain permutation modules for the (affine) Iwahori-Matsumoto Hecke algebra, while the quiver Schur algebra attached to the cyclic quiver is defined as the \(\mathrm{GL}_\mathbf{d}\)-equivariant Borel-Moore homology of a ``Steinberg type'' variety equipped with the convolution product. In the paper under review, an isomorphism between suitable completions of the above two algebras is established. This isomorphism endows the completed (affine) Schur algebra a grading, which is illustrated in the explicit example of \(\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_5)\) in characteristic \(3\). The authors also provide some fundamental constructions for the (affine) Schur algebra, such as the generating sets, explicit faithful representations and geometrically adapted bases.
