Stable representation theory of categories and applications to families of (bi)modules over symmetric groups​

Amin Saied

Develops a framework for representation stability in families of symmetric-group bimodules, introducing PD-modules and connecting their theory to tensor algebras and the homology of partition lattices.

An efficient algorithm computing composition factors of $T(V)^{\otimes n}$​

Amin Saied

Turns the decomposition of tensor powers of free associative algebras into combinatorial counting problems, extending the range of computable representation-theoretic coefficients by more than 750-fold.

On the FI-module structure of $H^i(\Gamma_{n,s})$​

Amin Saied

Uses FI-modules to sharpen representation-stability bounds for the cohomology of groups arising from graph homotopy equivalences, and shows that their characters eventually follow polynomial formulas.
