The center $$Z_n(q)$$ of the integral group algebra of the general linear group $$GL_n(q)$$ over a finite field admits a filtration with respect to the reflection length. We show that the structure constants of the associated graded algebras $$\mathscr{G}_n(q)$$ are independent of $$n$$, and this stability leads to a universal stable center with positive integer structure constants which governs the algebras $$\mathscr{G}_n(q)$$ for all $$n$$. Various structure constants of the stable center are computed and several conjectures are formulated. Analogous stability properties for symmetric groups and wreath products were established earlier by Farahat-Higman and the second author.

Embeddings Among Quantum Affine sl_n
We establish an explicit embedding of a quantum affine sl_n into a quantum affine sl_{n+1} . This embedding serves as a common generalization of two natural, but seemingly unrelated embeddings, one on the quantum affine Schur algebra level and the other on the non-quantum level. The embedding on the quantum affine Schur algebras is used extensively in the analysis of canonical bases of quantum affine sl_n and gl_n. The embedding on the non-quantum level is used crucially in a work of Riche and Williamson on the study of modular representation theory of general linear groups over a finite field. The same embedding is also used in a work of Maksimau on the categorical representations of affine general linear algebras. We further provide a more natural compatibility statement of the em- bedding on the idempotent version with that on the quantum affine Schur algebra level. A gl_n-variant of the embedding is also established.

We associate to a sufficiently generic oriented matroid program and choice of linear system of parameters a finite-dimensional algebra, whose representation theory is analogous to blocks of Bernstein—Gelfand—Gelfand category\mathcal{O}. When the data above comes from a generic linear program for a hyperplane arrangement, we recover the algebra defined by Braden—Licata—Proudfoot—Webster. Applying our construction to non-linear oriented matroid programs provides a large new class of algebras. For Euclidean oriented matroid programs, the resulting algebras are quasi-hereditary and Koszul, as in the linear setting. In the non-Euclidean case, we obtain algebras that are not quasi-hereditary and not known to be Koszul, but still have a natural class of standard modules and satisfy numerical analogues of quasi-heredity and Koszulity on the level of graded Grothendieck groups.more » « less

Motivated by the theory of Cuntz-Krieger algebras we define and study C ∗ C^\ast -algebras associated to directed quantum graphs. For classical graphs the C ∗ C^\ast -algebras obtained this way can be viewed as free analogues of Cuntz-Krieger algebras, and need not be nuclear. We study two particular classes of quantum graphs in detail, namely the trivial and the complete quantum graphs. For the trivial quantum graph on a single matrix block, we show that the associated quantum Cuntz-Krieger algebra is neither unital, nuclear nor simple, and does not depend on the size of the matrix block up to K K KK -equivalence. In the case of the complete quantum graphs we use quantum symmetries to show that, in certain cases, the corresponding quantum Cuntz-Krieger algebras are isomorphic to Cuntz algebras. These isomorphisms, which seem far from obvious from the definitions, imply in particular that these C ∗ C^\ast -algebras are all pairwise non-isomorphic for complete quantum graphs of different dimensions, even on the level of K K KK -theory. We explain how the notion of unitary error basis from quantum information theory can help to elucidate the situation. We also discuss quantum symmetries of quantum Cuntz-Krieger algebras in general.more » « less

Trace inequalities are general techniques with many applications in quantum information theory, often replacing the classical functional calculus in noncommutative settings. The physics of quantum field theory and holography, however, motivates entropy inequalities in type III von Neumann algebras that lack a semifinite trace. The Haagerup and Kosaki Lp spaces enable re-expressing trace inequalities in non-tracial von Neumann algebras. In particular, we show this for the generalized Araki–Lieb–Thirring and Golden–Thompson inequalities from the work of Sutter et al. [Commun. Math. Phys. 352(1), 37 (2017)]. Then, using the Haagerup approximation method, we prove a general von Neumann algebra version of universal recovery map corrections to the data processing inequality for relative entropy. We also show subharmonicity of a logarithmic p-fidelity of recovery. Furthermore, we prove that the non-decrease of relative entropy is equivalent to the existence of an L1-isometry implementing the channel on both input states.more » « less

We propose a quantization of coarse spaces and uniform Roe algebras. The objects are based on the quantum relations introduced by N. Weaver and require the choice of a represented von Neumann algebra. In the case of the diagonal inclusion ell_infty(X) subset B(ell_2(X)), they reduce to the usual constructions. Quantum metric spaces furnish natural examples parallel to the classical setting, but we provide other examples that are not inspired by metric considerations, including the new class of support expansion C*-algebras. We also work out the basic theory for maps between quantum coarse spaces and their consequences for quantum uniform Roe algebras.more » « less
