Representation theory for linear algebraic groups (20G05)

Abstract: Let $G$ be the general linear group of degree $n$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. We study the $m$-fold tensor product $$ of the truncated symmetric algebra $$ of the symmetric algebra $S(E)$ of the natural module $E$ for $G$. We are particularly interested in the set of partitions $lambda$ occurring as the highest weight of a composition factor of $$. We explain how the determination of these composition factors is related to the determination of the set of composition factors of the $m$-fold tensor product $S(E{)}^{otimesm}$ of the symmetric algebra. We give a complete description of the composition factors of $$ in terms of "distinguished" partitions. Our main interest is in the classical case, but since the quantised version is essentially no more difficult we express our results in the general context throughout.

Review text

Let \(K\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\). Let \(G\) be the linear algebraic group \(\text{GL}_n\) over \(K\), or its Dipper-Donkin quantum analogue. The irreducible polynomial representations of \(G\) are known as \(L(\lambda)\) where \(\lambda\) is a partition with at most \(n\) parts. Let \(S(E)\) be the symmetric algebra on the natural \(n\)-dimensional representation of \(G\). Factoring out the ideal generated by the \(p\)-th powers of elements of \(E\) one gets the `truncated symmetric algebra' \(\overline S(E)\). Let \(m\geq 1\). If \(L(\lambda)\) occurs as a composition factor of \(S(E)^{\otimes m}\) then it occurs in \(\overline S(E)^{\otimes m}\) if and only if the first part of \(\lambda\) is at most \(m(p-1)\). The main result of the paper gives a combinatorial characterization of the partitions \(\lambda\) for which \(L(\lambda)\) occurs at least once as composition factor of \(\overline S(E)^{\otimes m}\). -- The proof makes extensive use of the algorithm that implements the Mullineux involution of the set of `regular' partitions. See \textit{G. Mullineux} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 20, 60-66 (1979; Zbl 0401.05011)].
