Resumen de The homology of the Brauer algebras

Rachael Boyd, Richard Hepworth, Peter Patzt

• This paper investigates the homology of the Brauer algebras, interpreted as appropriate Tor-groups, and shows that it is closely related to the homology of the symmetric group. Our main results show that when the defining parameter δ of the Brauer algebra is invertible, then the homology of the Brauer algebra is isomorphic to the homology of the symmetric group, and that when δ is not invertible, this isomorphism still holds in a range of degrees that increases with n.
