In this article we will give an overview of the new Lie theoretic approach to the p-modular representation theory of the symmetric groups and their double covers that has emerged in the last few years. There are in fact two parallel theories here: one for the symmetric groups Sn involving the affine Kac-Moody algebra of type A p−1, and one for their double covers Ŝn involving the twisted algebra of type A p−1. In the case of Sn itself, the theory has been developed especially by Kleshchev [19], Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon [21], Ariki [1] and Grojnowski [9], while the double covers are treated for the first time in [4] along the lines of [9], after the important progress made over C by Sergeev [35, 36] and Nazarov [30, 31]. One of the most striking results at the heart of both of the theories is the explicit description of the modular branching graphs in terms of Kashiwara’s crystal graph for the basic module of the corresponding affine Lie algebra. Note that the results described are just a part of a larger picture: there are analogous results for the cyclotomic and affine Hecke algebras, and their twisted analogues, the cyclotomic and affine Hecke-Clifford superalgebras. However we will try here to bring out only those parts of the theory that apply to the symmetric group, since that is the most applicable to finite group theory.
