Schurification of polynomial quantum wreath products
Chun‐Ju Lai, Alexandre Minets · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2025
We study the Schur algebra counterpart of a vast class of quantum wreath products. This is achieved by developing a theory of twisted convolution algebras, inspired by geometric intuition. In parallel, we provide an algebraic Schurification via a Kashiwara-Miwa-Stern-type action on a tensor space. We give a uniform proof of Schur duality, and construct explicit bases of the new Schur algebras. This provides new results for, among other examples, Vignéras' pro-$p$ Iwahori Hecke algebras of type $A$, degenerate affine Hecke algebras, Kleshchev-Muth's affine zigzag algebras, and Rosso-Savage's affine Frobenius Hecke algebras.
