Abstract

We examine blocks of the Ariki–Koike algebra, in an attempt to generalise the combinatorial representation theory of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra of type A. We identify a particular type of combinatorial block, which we call a core block, which may be viewed as an analogue of a simple block of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra. We give equivalent characterisations of core blocks and examine their basic combinatorics.
