We introduce a Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}_{mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m})$ and an associative algebra $mathcal{U}_{q,mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m})$ associated with the Cartan data of $mathfrak{gl}_m$ which is separated into $r$ parts with respect to $mathbf{m}=(m_1, do
ts, m_r)$ such that $m_1+ dots + m_r =m$. We show that the Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}_{mathbf{Q}} (mathbf{m})$ is a filtered deformation of the current Lie algebra of $mathfrak{gl}_m$, and we can regard the algebra $mathcal{U}_{q, mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m})$ as a $q$-analogue of $U(mathfrak{g}_{mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m}))$. Then, we realize a cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebra as a quotient algebra of $mathcal{U}_{q, mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m})$ under a certain mild condition. We also study the representation theory for $mathfrak{g}_{mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m})$ and $mathcal{U}_{q,mathbf{Q}}(mathbf{m})$, and we apply them to the representations of the cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebras.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition on parameters for Ariki-Koike algebras (resp. cyclotomic q-Schur algebras) to be of finite representation type.
Let $Sc(vL)$ be the cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebra associated to the Ariki-Koike algebra $He_{n,r}$, introduced by Dipper-James-Mathas. In this paper, we consider $v$-decomposition numbers of $Sc(vL)$, namely decomposition numbers with respect to the J
antzen filtrations of Weyl modules. We prove, as a $v$-analogue of the result obtained by Shoji-Wada, a product formula for $v$-decomposition numbers of $Sc(vL)$, which asserts that certain $v$-decomposition numbers are expressed as a product of $v$-decomposition numbers for various cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebras associated to Ariki-koike algebras $He_{n_i,r_i}$ of smaller rank. Moreover we prove a similar formula for $v$-decomposition numbers of $He_{n,r}$ by using a Schur functor.
