Review text

The author considers an action of the specialized quantum group \(U_q(\text{sl}(k))\) on the space of \(k\)-step flags of \(\mathbb{F}^n\), where \(\mathbb{F}\) is the field of \(q\) elements. This action is \(\text{GL}(n,q)\) equivariant and in fact a double centralizer theorem is obtained immediately thereafter. He proves in Section 2 that the actions of \(\text{GL}(n,q)\) and \(U_q(\text{sl}(k))\) on the \(k\)-step flags of \(\mathbb{F}^n_q\) are centralized by each other. In section 3, he develops a version of Casimir's invariant of \(U_q(\text{sl}(k))\) in its action on the flag spaces. As a corollary, he obtains a character formula for the transvections of \(\text{GL}(n,q)\) in all the unipotent irreducible representations, and shows a monotonous property of the latter characters.
