Extensions of Modules over Schur Algebras, Symmetric Groups and Hecke Algebras

We study the relation between the cohomology of general linear and symmetric groups and their respective quantizations, using Schur algebras and standard homological techniques to build appropriate spectral sequences. As our methods fit inside a much more general context within the theory of finite-dimensional algebras, we develop our results first in that general setting, and then specialize to the above situations. From this we obtain new proofs of several known results in modular representation theory of symmetric groups. Moreover, we reduce certain questions about computing extensions for symmetric groups and Hecke algebras to questions about extensions for general linear groups and their quantizations.     

Pure Skew Lattices in Rings

Given a ring $R$, let $S\subseteq R$ be a pure multiplicative band that is closed under the cubic join operation $x\nabla y = x+y+yx-xyx-yxy.$ We show that $\left( S,\cdot,\nabla\right) $ forms a pure skew lattice if and only if $S$ satisfies the polynomial identity $\left(xy-yx\right)^{2}z = z\left(xy-yx\right)^{2}$. We also examine properties of pure skew lattices in rings.     

Some non‐standard problems in viscous flow

Energy bounds are derived for Dirichlet type boundary value problems for the Navier–Stokes and Stokes equations when a combination of the solution values initially and at a later time is prescribed. The bounds are obtained by means of a differential inequality and imply uniqueness and continuous data dependence of the solutions for a range of values of the parameter in the non‐standard auxiliary condition.
