SUMMARY:Weight 2 blocks of double covers of symmetric groups - Matt Fayers

DESCRIPTION:The problem of determining the decomposition numbers of the sy
 mmetric groups seems to get harder the more we learn about it.  Some succe
 ss has been had for blocks of small defect\; in particular\, for defect 2 
 there is a nice combinatorial formula for the decomposition numbers due to
  Richards.  I will describe this\, and then talk about my attempts to find
  an analogous result for defect 2 blocks of double covers of symmetric gro
 ups.
