A new parametrisation of tilting modules for \(\text{GL}(3,k)\) over characteristic 2. (Q855983)

Let \(K\) be an infinite field of characteristic two and let \(E=K^3\) be the defining representation of \(\text{GL}(3,K)\). The paper determines the restriction to \(G=\text{GL}(3,2)\) of the \(E^{\otimes r}\), up to projective summands. It turns out they are all different and they are string modules. In particular, they are indecomposable. Each of these string modules may be described by a word in the alphabet consisting of the arrows in a quiver whose vertices correspond with the three irreducibles in the principal block. The main result gives these words explicitly. The computation uses the known structure of the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver of the special biserial algebra \(KG\). (This is where the very special nature of \(\text{GL}(3,2)\) comes in.) The point of the computation is that it gives detailed information on the tilting module corresponding with the highest weight of \(E^{\otimes r}\). The author also explains the relevance of such information.
