Special modules over positively based algebras (Q321899)

In this nice paper, the authors use the Perron-Frobenius theorem to define, study and, in some sense, classify special simple modules over arbitrary finite dimensional positively based algebras. This generalizes Lusztig's notion of special modules for group algebras of finite Weyl groups with respect to the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis. The approach in this paper is motivated by some techniques in the study of cell \(2\)-representation theory of finitary \(2\)-categories.
