Titolo: Decomposition numbers of the symmetric group and related algebras

Abstract: Representations of the symmetric group are quite well understood, mainly thanks to James who developed the use of combinatorial tools, such as diagrams, tableaux and abacuses. This constructive approach can be generalised to give techniques for studying representations of related algebras including the Ariki-Koike algebras.
In particular, we will talk about the decomposition numbers of the symmetric group and sketch how we can generalise some results for the Ariki-Koike algebras.
