Equivalence classes in the Weyl groups of type Bn

- We consider two families of equivalence classes in the Weyl groups of type B n which are suggested by the study of left cells in unequal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebras. Both families are indexed by a non-negative integer r. It has been shown that the first family coincides with left cells corresponding to the equal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebra when r=0; the equivalence classes in the second family agree with left cells corresponding to a special class of choices of unequal parameters when r is sufficiently large. Our main result shows that the two families of equivalence classes coincide, suggesting the structure of left cells for remaining choices of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra parameters. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

- C. Bonnafé, M. Geck, L. Iancu, and T. Lam have conjectured a description of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in unequal parameter Hecke algebras of type B which is based on domino tableaux of arbitrary rank. In the integer case, this generalizes the work of D. Garfinkle. We adapt her methods and construct a family of operators which generate the equivalence classes on pairs of arbitrary rank domino tableaux described in the above conjecture. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

- Consider a complex classical semisimple Lie group along with the set of its nilpotent coadjoint orbits. When the group is of type A, the set of orbital varieties contained in a given nilpotent orbit is described a set of standard Young tableaux. We parameterize both, the orbital varieties and the irreducible components of unipotent varieties in the other classical groups by sets of standard domino tableaux. The main tools are Spaltenstein's results on signed domino tableaux together with Garfinkle's operations on standard domino tableaux. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Cells and constructible representations in type B

- We examine the partition of a finite Coxeter group of type B into cells determined by a weight function L. The main objective of these notes is to reconcile Lusztig's description of constructible representations in this setting with conjectured combinatorial descriptions of cells.
A relation for domino robinson-schensted algorithms
Date: 2010-01-01
Creator: Thomas Pietraho
Access: Open access
- We describe a map relating hyperoctahedral Robinson-Schensted algorithms on standard domino tableaux of unequal rank. Iteration of this map relates the algorithms defined by Garfinkle and Stanton-White and when restricted to involutions, this construction answers a question posed by van Leeuwen. The principal technique is derived from operations defined on standard domino tableaux by Garfinkle which must be extended to this more general setting. © Birkhäuser Verlag Basel/Switzerland 2009.
