Hall Monoidal Categories and Categorical Modules 48 5.1 Examples Hall monoidal categories and categorical modules Tashi Walde Abstract We construct so called Hall monoidal categories (and Hall modules there- over) and exhibit them as a categorification of classical Hall and Hecke algebras (and certain modules thereover). The input of the (functorial!) construction are simplicial groupoids satisfying the 2-Segal conditions (as introduced by Dy- ckerhoff and Kapranov [DKa]), the main examples come from Waldhausen’s S-construction. To treat the case of modules, we introduce a relative version of the 2-Segal conditions. Furthermore, we generalize a classical result about the representation the- ory of symmetric groups to the case of wreath product groups: We construct a monoidal equivalence between the category of complex G ≀ Sn-representations (for a fixed finite group G and varying n ∈ N) and the category of “G- equivariant” polynomial functors; we use this equivalence to prove a version of Schur-Weyl duality for wreath products.

Introduction The theory of Hall algebras began more than a century ago when Steinitz ob- served [Ste01] that (for each fixed prime p) there is an associative (!) product A · B := t(C, A, B) · C C X on (formal sums of) isomorphism classes {A, B, C, . } of finite abelian (p-)groups, where t(C, A, B) counts the number of subgroups A′ ⊆ C such that A′ ∼= A and C / A′ ∼= B. This product yields an associative algebra with a basis consisting of λi partitions by identifying each finite abelian p-group λ Z / (p ) with its type λ. The topic remained forgotten for more than fifty yearsL until Hall rediscovered what is nowadays known as Hall’s algebra of partitions [Hal59]. This most classical of Hall algebras was and is of great interest due to its close relationship to several fundamental objects in mathematics such as symmetric functions [Mac95] and flag varieties. Hall algebras came back into the spotlight in the early 90s due to Ringel’s ground- breaking discovery [Rin90] that the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra Uv(g) (of a simple complex Lie algebra g) can be realized by applying Hall’s con- −→ struction to the category Q−repFq of finite dimensional representations over Fq of the corresponding Dynkin quiver. Many variants of Hall algebras have since been introduced and studied; see Schiff- mann’s lecture notes [Sch09b] [Sch09a] for a detailed overview. 1.1. A universal perspective Dyckerhoff and Kapranov [DKa] propose the following perspective on Hall algebras: The various collections A {X[n] := {0= A0 ֒→ A1 ֒→ . ֒→ An of flags of length n ∈ N in a certain suitable category1)A can be naturally organized into a simplicial object2) X A : ∆op −→ C which is known in algebraic K-theory as Waldhausen’s S-construction [Wal85]. We are supposed to view X A as the “universal” Hall algebra; all other Hall algebras 1)In the classical case of Steinitz and Hall, for instance, A would be the category of finite abelian p-groups. For us A will always be a proto-abelian category [Dyc15, Definition 1.2]. 2)For us X A will always be a simplicial groupoid, i.e. C := Grpd. Depending on the precise nature of the category A other types of simplicial objects (e.g. simplicial spaces or simplicial stacks) can be used [Dyc15]. 2 are created out of X A by applying appropriate specializations C ? (called transfer theories [DKa, Section 8.1]). Example 1.1.1 (see Section 2). The classical Ringel-Hall algebra hall(A) (of a proto- abelian category A) can be recovered [Dyc15, Proposition 2.19] by taking C := Grpd to be the category of groupoids and by passing to (finitely supported) functions on isomorphism classes. ♦ Associativity and unitality of the various Hall algebras are encoded universally in the simplicial object X A as the so called 2-Segal conditions [DKa, Section 2.3]. The 2-Segal conditions can be formulated for any simplicial object; it is therefore tempting to consider other simplicial objects X : ∆op → C which do not necessarily arise through Waldhausen’s S-construction. Example 1.1.2 (see Section 5.8). The classical Hecke algebra H(G,H) associated to an inclusion H ⊆ G of finite groups can be obtained [DKa, Example 8.2.11] by taking the 2-Segal simplicial groupoid (called the Hecke-Waldhausen construction) (2) (2) G,H X :[n] 7−→ B H ×B G ··· ×B G B H (with n +1 many factors) and passing to (finitely supported) functions on isomor- phism classes. ♦ The Ringel-Hall algebra and the Hecke algebra can thus be put into the same context: both algebras can be obtained by applying the transfer theory V : Grpd → Z−Mod, V : A 7→ Z(π0A) (of finitely supported functions on isomorphism classes) to an appropriate 2-Segal simplicial groupoid X ; in both cases we simply speak of the Hall algebra hall(X ) of the corresponding simplicial groupoid X . 1.2. Hall monoidal categories When reading about functions on isomorphism classes of a groupoid the following objection should immediately jump to mind: Objection 1.2.1. [Dyc15] If we are to consider “maps” out of a groupoid A then surely we should not be using functions π0A → Z on isomorphism classes but rather functors A →V for some suitably chosen category V. ♠ This idea leads to a categorification of the Hall algebra. 3 Introduction Theorem 1.2.2 (see Section 4.2).

  • Toric Hall Algebras and Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras
    TORIC HALL ALGEBRAS AND INFINITE-DIMENSIONAL LIE ALGEBRAS JAIUNG JUN AND MATT SZCZESNY Abstract. We associate to a projective n-dimensional toric variety X∆ a pair of co- α T commutative (but generally non-commutative) Hopf algebras HX ;HX . These arise as α T Hall algebras of certain categories Coh (X); Coh (X) of coherent sheaves on X∆ viewed as a monoid scheme - i.e. a scheme obtained by gluing together spectra of commu- tative monoids rather than rings. When X is smooth, the category CohT (X) has an n explicit combinatorial description as sheaves whose restriction to each A correspond- ing to a maximal cone is determined by an n-dimensional generalized skew shape. The (non-additive) categories Cohα(X); CohT (X) are treated via the formalism of proto- exact/proto-abelian categories developed by Dyckerhoff-Kapranov. α T The Hall algebras HX ;HX are graded and connected, and so enveloping algebras α α T T α T HX ' U(nX ), HX ' U(nX ), where the Lie algebras nX ; nX are spanned by the inde- composable coherent sheaves in their respective categories. T We explicitly work out several examples, and in some cases are able to relate nX to 1 T known Lie algebras. In particular, when X = P , nX is isomorphic to a non-standard −1 Borel in gl2[t; t ]. When X is the second infinitesimal neighborhood of the origin inside 2 T 2 A , nX is isomorphic to a subalgebra of gl2[t]. We also consider the case X = P , where T T we give a basis for nX by describing all indecomposable sheaves in Coh (X).

    RECENT TRENDS IN QUASISYMMETRIC FUNCTIONS SARAH K. MASON Abstract. This article serves as an introduction to several recent developments in the study of quasisymmetric functions. The focus of this survey is on connections between quasisymmetric functions and the combinatorial Hopf algebra of noncom- mutative symmetric functions, appearances of quasisymmetric functions within the theory of Macdonald polynomials, and analogues of symmetric functions. Topics include the significance of quasisymmetric functions in representation theory (such as representations of the 0-Hecke algebra), recently discovered bases (including ana- logues of well-studied symmetric function bases), and applications to open problems in symmetric function theory.

  • Ringel-Hall Algebras Andrew W. Hubery
    Ringel-Hall Algebras Andrew W. Hubery 1. INTRODUCTION 3 1. Introduction Two of the first results learned in a linear algebra course concern finding normal forms for linear maps between vector spaces. We may consider a linear map f : V → W between vector spaces over some field k. There exist isomorphisms V =∼ Ker(f) ⊕ Im(f) and W =∼ Im(f) ⊕ Coker(f), and with respect to these decompositions f = id ⊕ 0. If we consider a linear map f : V → V with V finite dimensional, then we can express f as a direct sum of Jordan blocks, and each Jordan block is determined by a monic irreducible polynomial in k[T ] together with a positive integer. We can generalise such problems to arbitrary configurations of vector spaces and linear maps. For example f g f g U1 −→ V ←− U2 or U −→ V −→ W. We represent such problems diagrammatically by drawing a dot for each vector space and an arrow for each linear map. So, the four problems listed above corre- spond to the four diagrams A: B : C : D : Such a diagram is called a quiver, and a configuration of vector spaces and linear maps is called a representation of the quiver: that is, we take a vector space for each vertex and a linear map for each arrow. Given two representations of the same quiver, we define the direct sum to be the representation produced by taking the direct sums of the vector spaces and the linear maps for each vertex and each arrow. Recall that if f : U → V and f 0 : U 0 → V 0 are linear maps, then the direct sum is the linear map f ⊕ f 0 : U ⊕ U 0 → V ⊕ V 0, (u,u0) 7→ (f(u), f 0(u0)).

We may consider the representations of ∆~ over k, or, equivalently, the k∆-modules.~ In case k is a finite field, one may define a multiplication on the free abelian group with basis the isomorphism classes of k∆-modules~ by counting filtrations of modules; the ring obtained in this way is called the Hall algebra H(k∆).~ We denote by Z[v] the polynomial ring in one variable v, and we set q = v2.

  • Ringel-Hall Algebras of Cyclic Quivers
    S~aoPaulo Journal of Mathematical Sciences 4, 3 (2010), 351{398 Ringel-Hall Algebras of Cyclic Quivers Andrew Hubery University of Leeds Leeds U.K. E-mail address: [email protected] 1. Introduction The Hall algebra, or algebra of partitions, was originally construc- ted in the context of abelian p-groups, and has a history going back to a talk by Steinitz [65]. This work was largely forgotten, leaving Hall to rediscover the algebra fifty years later [19]. (See also the ar- ticles [24, 38].) The Hall algebra is naturally isomorphic to the ring of symmetric functions, and in fact this is an isomorphism of self-dual graded Hopf algebras. The basic idea is to count short exact sequences with fixed iso- morphism classes of p-groups and then to use these numbers as the structure constants for an algebra. This idea was picked up again by Ringel [49] for more general module categories, and in particular the category of finite dimensional representations of a quiver (over a finite field). Ringel's work built on some remarkable results relating quiver re- presentations to symmetrisable Kac-Moody Lie algebras, beginning with [15,2, 13, 41, 12] and culminating in Kac's Theorem [26], which states that over an algebraically closed field, the dimension vector (or image in the Grothendieck group) gives a surjection from the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable representations to the set of positive roots of the associated root system.

  • Cyclic Complexes, Hall Polynomials and Simple Lie Algebras
    CYCLIC COMPLEXES, HALL POLYNOMIALS AND SIMPLE LIE ALGEBRAS QINGHUA CHEN AND BANGMING DENG Abstract. In this paper we study the category Cm(P) of m-cyclic complexes over P, where P is the category of projective modules over a finite dimensional hereditary algebra A, and describe almost split sequences in Cm(P). This is applied to prove the existence of Hall polynomials in Cm(P) when A is representation finite and m 6= 1. We further introduce the Hall algebra of Cm(P) and its localization in the sense of Bridgeland. In the case when A is representation finite, we use Hall polynomials to define the generic Bridgeland{Hall algebra of A and show that it contains a subalgebra isomorphic to the integral form of the corresponding quantum enveloping algebra. This provides a construction of the simple Lie algebra associated with A. 1. Introduction The Ringel{Hall algebra Hv(A) of a finite dimensional algebra A over a finite field Fq was introduced by Ringel [28] in 1990. By definition, the algebra Hv(A) has a ba- sis the isoclasses (isomorphism classes) of A-modules, and the structure constants are given by counting certain submodules. Ringel then showed that when A is hereditary and representation finite, Hv(A) is isomorphic to the positive part of the correspond- ing quantum enveloping algebra. Later on, Green [13] obtained a comultiplication formula for Ringel{Hall algebras of hereditary algebras and extended Ringel's alge- braic realization to arbitrary types. When A is hereditary of finite representation type, Ringel [30] proved that the structure constants of the Ringel{Hall algebra Hv(A) are actually polynomials in q, called Hall polynomials.

  • Lusztig's Geometric Approach to Hall Algebras 1
    LUSZTIG’S GEOMETRIC APPROACH TO HALL ALGEBRAS ZONGZHU LIN 1. Introduction The introduction of l-adic cohomology by M. Artin and Grothenieck was motivated by the Weil conjecture concerning the number of rational points of algebraic varieties over finite fields. Since its introduction in the early 60s, l-adic cohomology theory has been used in the representation theory of finite Chevalley groups in a “misterious way”. The first application of l-adic cohomology and intersection cohomology theory to reductive groups was by Lusztig in 1975 [L3]. The constuction of intersection cohomology complexes for certain algebraic varieties associated to reductive groups leads the celebrating work was by Deligne and Lusztig [DL] constructing a large class of virtual characters for finite Chevalley groups over algebraically field of characteritic zero. The spirit of the application of the l-adic cohomology groups is the Lefschetz fixed point theorem and Grothendieck trace formula. Such an approach will construct the virtual characters for finite Chevalley groups over all finite fields at once. Later on Lusztig in a serieous of papers realized virtual characters in terms simple persverse sheaves, complexes of representations [L4]. The concept of linear representation theory has ever changed, and the algebraic geometry seams to be play an inevitable role. Although the questions conerned are just simple algebraic question, such as computing the irreducible characters. Another celebrating work is Springer’s construction of representations of Weyl groups in term of l-adic cohomology groups of certan subvarieties the nilpotent varieties, realize the Young’s construction of irreducible representations of symestric groups in terms of partitions.

    A STUDY OF SYMMETRIC FUNCTIONS VIA DERIVED HALL ALGEBRA RYOSUKE SHIMOJI, SHINTAROU YANAGIDA Abstract. We use derived Hall algebra of the category of nilpotent representations of Jordan quiver to reconstruct the theory of symmetric functions, focusing on Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and various operators acting on them. 0. Introduction nil In this note we use derived Hall algebra of the category RepFq Q of nilpotent representations of Jordan quiver Q to reconstruct the theory of symmetric functions, focusing on Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and various operators acting on them. As is well known, the ring Λ of symmetric functions has a structure of Hopf algebra, and it coincides nil with the classical Hall algebra Hcl, i.e., the Ringel-Hall algebra of the category RepFq Q. In particular, the −1 −1 Hall-Littlewood symmetric function Pλ(x; q ) ∈ Λ of parameter q corresponds to the isomorphism class [Iλ] of the nilpotent representation Iλ constructed from the Jordan matrix associated to the partition λ. See Macdonald’s book [M95, Chap.II, III] and Schiffmann’s lecture note [S06, §2] for detailed account. Thus, in principle, one may reconstruct the theory of symmetric functions only using the knowledge of the classical Hall algebra Hcl, without any knowledge of symmetric functions nor the structure of Λ. One of our motivation is pursue this strategy. Recall that in the theory of symmetric functions we have some key ingredients to construct important bases of Λ. n • Power-sum symmetric functions pn(x)= i xi . • Inner products h·, ·i on Λ. • Kernel functions associated to inner productsP and operators on Λ.

  • Hecke Operators and Hall Algebras for Global Function Fields
    Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada Hecke operators and Hall algebras for global function fields Roberto Alvarenga Advisor: Oliver Lorscheid Thesis presented to the Post-graduate Program in Mathematics at Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Mathematics. Rio de Janeiro April 11, 2018 Abstract The subject of this thesis is arithmetic geometry. In particular, we aim to describe explicitly some graphs, which we call graphs of Hecke operators, for function fields of curves of small genus. The first two chapters are dedicated to the introduction the graphs of Hecke operators and its first properties. The Chapter 1 is dedicated to introduce the prerequisites from number theory and algebraic geometry necessaries to define the graphs of Hecke operators. In the Chapter 2 we give the number theoretic interpretation of graphs of Hecke operators, which were originally introduced by Lorscheid in his Phd thesis [30]. These graphs encode the complete data of the action of Hecke operators on automorphic forms over a global function field. After giving the number theoretic definition of graphs of Hecke operators we translate that definition in terms of algebra- geometric tools. We dedicate a section of Chapter 2 to show a necessary condition for two vertices of these graphs to be connected by an edge and end the chapter with the solution of how to obtain these graphs in the case of the function field of the projective line. Most of the content of this first part appears in the following pre-print: • [1] R.
