Description

Categorification and KLR algebras. AIMS This project will solve three problems at the forefront of representation theory: the centre conjecture for graded Hecke algebras, concretely connecting crystals with KLR algebras and describing the grading and radical filtrations Specht modules. SIGNIFICANCE Solving any of these problems will represent a serious advance in the field and have a lasting impact and creating new areas of research. EXPECTED OUTCOMES We will remove major bottlenecks in our understanding of KLR algebras. BENEFITS In addition to the mathematical benefits, the skills and expertise that are required for, and will be enhanced by, this project are readily transferable and highly sought after by industry, including the financial, IT and education sectors..
