Symmetric Groups and Quasi-Hereditary Algebras

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 424))

Abstract

Quasi-hereditary algebras were introduced by L. Scott [S] in order to study highest weight categories arising in the representation theory of semisimple complex Lie algebras and algebraic groups, and important results were proved by Cline, Parshall and Scott (see [CPS1,2]). These algebras can be defined entirely in ring-theoretic terms; and they were studied from this point of view by Dlab and Ringel (see [DR1,2], [R1,2]) and by others. In particular it turns out that quasi-hereditary algebras are quite common.
