The Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier (KLR) algebra arose out of attempts to categorify quantum groups. Kleshchev and Ram proved a result reducing the representation theory of these algebras to the study of irreducible cuspidal representations. In finite types, these cuspidal representations are part of a larger class of homogeneous representations, which are related to fully commutative elements of Coxeter groups.

We'll show some combinatorial results, enumerating these homogeneous representations in types A and D.
