Cellularity of Wreath Product Algebras and $A$--Brauer algebras (1208.2983v1)

Abstract: A cellular algebra is called cyclic cellular if all cell modules are cyclic. Most important examples of cellular algebras appearing in representation theory are in fact cyclic cellular. We prove that if $A$ is a cyclic cellular algebra, then the wreath product of $A$ with the symmetric group on $n$ letters is also cyclic cellular. We also introduce $A$--Brauer algebras, for algebras $A$ with an involution and trace. This class of algebras includes, in particular, $G$--Brauer algebras for non-abelian groups $G$. We prove that if $A$ is cyclic cellular then the $A$--Brauer algebras $D_n(A)$ are also cyclic cellular.
