Abstract
In this paper we use the cyclotomic q-Schur algebras to prove an
analogue of the Jantzen-Schaper theorem for the Ariki-Koike algebras. Most of
the argument is devoted to first proving an analogue of Jantzen's sum formula
for the Weyl modules of the cyclotomic q-Schur algebra. The result
for the Ariki-Koike algebras is then deduced by a Schur functor argument. As
a corollary of these results we obtain criteria for the Weyl modules and
Specht modules of these algebras to be irreducible.
As a special case of our results we obtain, for the first
time, an analogue of the Jantzen-Schaper theorem for Coxeter groups of
type B.
