Parallel to the very rich theory of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in characteristic 0, we try to build a similar theory in positive characteristic. We study cells with respect to the p-canonical basis of the Hecke algebra of a crystallographic Coxeter system (see [JW17]). Our main technical tool are the star-operations introduced by Kazhdan-Lusztig in [KL79] which have interesting numerical consequences for the p-canonical basis. As an application, we explicitely describe p-cells in finite type A (i.e. for symmetric groups) using the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Moreover, we show that Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in finite types B and C decompose into p-cells for p > 2.

IntroductionOne of the first theorems of representation theory is Maschke's theorem: any representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic zero is semi-simple. This theorem is ubiquitous throughout mathematics. (We often use it without realising it; for example, when we write a function of one variable as the sum of an odd and an even function.) The next step is Weyl's theorem: any finite-dimensional representation of a compact Lie group is semi-simple 1 . It is likewise fundamental: for the circle group Weyl's theorem is closely tied to the theory of Fourier series.Beyond the theorems of Maschke and Weyl lies the realm of where semi-simplicity fails. Non semi-simple phenomena in representation theory were first encountered when studying the modular (i.e. characteristic p) representations of finite groups. This theory is the next step beyond the classical theory of the character table, and is important in understanding the deeper structure of finite groups. A second example (of fundamental importance throughout mathematics from number theory to mathematical physics) occurs when studying the infinite-dimensional representation theory of semi-simple Lie groups and their p-adic counterparts.Throughout the history of representation theory, geometric methods have played an important role. Over the last forty years, the theory of intersection cohomology and perverse sheaves has provided powerful new tools. To any complex reductive group is naturally associated several varieties (e.g. unipotent and nilpotent orbits and their closures, the flag variety and its Schubert varieties, the affine Grassmannian and its Schubert varieties . . . ). In contrast to the group itself, these varieties are often singular. The theory of perverse sheaves provides a collection of constructible complexes of sheaves (intersection cohomology sheaves) on such varieties, and the "IC data" associated to intersection cohomology sheaves (graded dimensions of stalks, total cohomology, . . . ) appears throughout Lie theory.The first example of the power of this theory is the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture (a theorem of Beilinson-Bernstein and Brylinski-Kashiwara), which expresses the character of a simple highest weight module over a complex semi-simple Lie algebra in terms of IC data of Schubert varieties in the flag variety. This theorem is an important first step towards understanding the irreducible representations of semisimple Lie groups. A second example is Lusztig's theory of character sheaves, 1 Weyl first proved his theorem via integration over the group to produce an invariant Hermitian form. To do this he needed the theory of manifolds. One can view his proof as an early appearance of geometric methods in representation theory.

Abstract. We observe that certain numbers occurring in Schubert calculus for SLn also occur as entries in intersection forms controlling decompositions of Soergel bimodules in higher rank. These numbers grow exponentially. This observation gives many counter-examples to the expected bounds in Lusztig's conjecture on the characters of simple rational modules for SLn over fields of positive characteristic. Our examples also give counter-examples to the James conjecture on decomposition numbers for symmetric groups.
