Let ℋq(d) be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group where q is a primitive ℓ-th root of unity, and let A = Sq(n,d) be the q-Schur algebra. Hemmer and Nakano proved amongst others that for ℓ ≥ 4, the Schur functor gives an equivalence between the category of A-modules with Weyl filtration, and the category of ℋq(d)-modules with dual Specht filtration, and that certain extension groups get identified. This has been a surprise and has inspired further research. In this talk we discuss some extensions of this result.

This talk is based on joint work with T. Cruz.
