DESCRIPTION:The question of which ordinary irreducible representations of 
 the symmetric group remain irreducible in characteristic 2 was solved ten 
 years ago by James and Mathas. Here we consider the generalisation to the 
 Hecke algebra of type A\, with q=-1\, which continues to resist attempts a
 t a solution. We present a conjecture\, and describe work in progress aime
 d at a proof\; this involves realising homomorphisms between Specht module
 s using the Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier framework for Hecke algebras.\n
