On Ringel duality for Schur algebras (Q2777977)

If \(A\) is a quasi-hereditary algebra, then there is a dual algebra \(A'\), known as the Ringel dual, unique up to Morita equivalence, and satisfying \((A')'\) is Morita equivalent to \(A\). See \textit{C. M. Ringel} [Math. Z. 208, No. 2, 209-224 (1991; Zbl 0742.16006)].NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINELet \(r,n\) be positive integers, and denote by \(S(n,r)\) the corresponding Schur algebra. The module category of \(S(n,r)\) over an infinite field \(K\) is equivalent to the category of homogeneous polynomial representations of the general linear group \(\text{GL}_n(K)\) of degree \(r\). The Schur algebras are a class of quasi-hereditary algebras of considerable interest. It is known [\textit{S. Donkin}, Math. Z. 212, No. 1, 39-60 (1993; Zbl 0798.20035)], that \(S(n,r)\) is its own Ringel dual, and that in general, \(S(n,r)'\) is a generalised Schur algebra.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe authors show that \(S(2,r)\) is its own Ringel dual if and only if \(r\) is of the form \(r=ap^k-2\) or \(r=(ap^k-2)\pm 1\), where \(2\leq a\leq p\) and \(k\) a natural number, or \(r<p^2\). Here \(p\) is the characteristic of \(K\). They are then able to deduce various results concerning the projective modules and tilting modules for Schur algebras.
