Alexander Wilson: Super Multiset RSK and a Mixed Multiset Partition Algebra

Through dualities on representations on tensor powers and symmetric powers respectively, the partition algebra and multiset partition algebra have been used to study long-standing questions in the representation theory of the symmetric group. These algebras enjoy distinguished bases whose product can be described on graph-theoretic diagrams. We extend this story to exterior powers, leading to the introduction of the mixed multiset partition algebra and a generalization of RSK that links the algebra’s graph-theoretic basis to a tableau basis for its irreducible representations.

Samuel Creedon: Defining an Affine Partition Algebra

In this talk we motivate the construction of a new algebra called the affine partition algebra. We summarize some of its basic properties and describe an action which extends the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and partition algebra. We establish connections to the affine partition category defined recently by Brundan and Vargas and show that such a category is a full subcategory of the Heisenberg category.
