About This Quiz
What Do You Know About Schur Algebras? - Quiz

Schur algebras are useful in the field of representation theory under the science of structure, order, and relation otherwise known as mathematics.
They are specific limited-dimensional algebras intently connected with Schur–Weyl duality between general symmetric and linear groups.

2) Schur algebras have which global dimensions? 

Explanation

Schur algebras have finite global dimensions. This means that the Schur algebras have a finite number of simple modules up to isomorphism. In other words, there are only finitely many irreducible representations of the Schur algebra.

3) In which year was the monograph used to introduce Schur algebras published?

Explanation

The monograph used to introduce Schur algebras was published in 1980.

Submit
4) In the modular case, Schur algebras were used by which duo to show that the problems of computing decomposition numbers for general linear groups and symmetric groups are actually equivalent?

Explanation

Gordon James and Karin Erdmann used Schur algebras to demonstrate that the problems of computing decomposition numbers for general linear groups and symmetric groups are equivalent in the modular case.

Submit
5) Schur algebras are named after who?

Explanation

Schur algebras are named after Issai Schur, a mathematician who made significant contributions to the field of algebra. He introduced Schur algebras in his work on the representation theory of symmetric groups and proved fundamental theorems related to them. His work laid the foundation for the study of Schur algebras and their applications in various areas of mathematics.

Submit
6) Who widely promoted the use of Schur algebras?

Explanation

J. A. Green widely promoted the use of Schur algebras.

Submit
7) Schur algebras were used by which duo to prove finite generation of cohomology of finite group schemes? 

Explanation

Friedlander and Suslin used Schur algebras to prove the finite generation of cohomology of finite group schemes.

Submit
8) Who put forth generalized Schur algebras?

Explanation

Donkin is the correct answer because he is the mathematician who put forth generalized Schur algebras. Suslin, Edman, and Karin are not associated with this concept.

Submit
9) In which decade were generalised Schur algebras introduced?

Explanation

The correct answer is 1980s. Generalized Schur algebras were introduced in the 1980s.

Submit
10) The name Schur algebra was because of who?

Explanation

The correct answer is Green. The name Schur algebra was given in honor of the mathematician Green.
