Cartan invariant matrices for finite monoids: Expression and computation using characters
نویسنده
چکیده
Let M be a finite monoid. In this paper we describe how the Cartan invariant matrix of the monoid algebra of M over a field K of characteristic zero can be expressed using characters and some simple combinatorial statistic. In particular, it can be computed efficiently from the composition factors of the left and right class modules of M . When M is aperiodic, this approach works in any characteristic, and generalizes to K a principal ideal domain like Z. When M is R-trivial, we retrieve the formerly known purely combinatorial description of the Cartan matrix. Résumé. Soit M un monoïde fini. Dans cet article, nous exprimons la matrice des invariants de Cartan de l’algèbre de M sur un corps K de caractéristique zéro à l’aide de caractères et d’une statistique combinatoire simple. En particulier, elle peut être calculée efficacement à partir des facteurs de compositions des modules de classes à gauche et à droite de M . Lorsque M est apériodique, cette approche se généralise à toute caractéristique et aux anneaux principaux comme Z. Lorsque M est R-trivial, nous retrouvons la description combinatoire de la matrice de Cartan précédemment connue.

Quivers of monoids with basic algebras
We compute the quiver of any finite monoid that has a basic algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. More generally, we reduce the computation of the quiver over a splitting field of a class of monoids that we term rectangular monoids (in the semigroup theory literature the class is known as DO) to representation-theoretic computations for group algebras of maximal sub...
متن کاملq-Cartan matrices and combinatorial invariants of derived categories for skewed-gentle algebras
Cartan matrices are of fundamental importance in representation theory. For algebras defined by quivers (i.e. directed graphs) with relations the computation of the entries of the Cartan matrix amounts to counting nonzero paths in the quivers, leading naturally to a combinatorial setting. In this paper we study a refined version, so-called q-Cartan matrices, where each nonzero path is weighted ...
متن کاملA Murnaghan–nakayama Rule for Values of Unipotent Characters in Classical Groups
We derive a Murnaghan–Nakayama type formula for the values of unipotent characters of finite classical groups on regular semisimple elements. This relies on Asai’s explicit decomposition of Lusztig restriction. We use our formula to show that most complex irreducible characters vanish on some -singular element for certain primes . As an application we classify the simple endotrivial modules of ...
متن کاملOn Cartan matrices and lower defect groups for covering groups of symmetric groups
We determine the elementary divisors of the Cartan matrices of spin p-blocks of the covering groups of the symmetric groups when p is an odd prime. As a consequence, we also compute the determinants of these Cartan matrices, and in particular we confirm a conjecture by Brundan and Kleshchev that these determinants depend only on the weight but not on the sign of the block. The main purpose of t...
متن کاملAlgebra Invariants for Finite Directed Graphs with Relations
Finite directed graphs with relations define finite-dimensional algebras given as factor algebras of the corresponding path algebras. In joint work with T. Holm, we studied invariants of an associated generalized Cartan matrix for certain types of algebras where the Cartan invariants basically count nonzero paths; the main motivation for this came from the context of derived module categories a...
