Formal Hecke algebras and algebraic oriented cohomology theories

In the present paper, we generalize the construction of the nil Hecke ring of Kostant–Kumar to the context of an arbitrary formal group law, in particular, to an arbitrary algebraic oriented cohomology theory of Levine–Morel and Panin–Smirnov (e.g., to Chow groups, Grothendieck’s \(K_0\) , connective \(K\) -theory, elliptic cohomology, and algebraic cobordism). The resulting object, which we call a formal (affine) Demazure algebra, is parameterized by a one-dimensional commutative formal group law and has the following important property: specialization to the additive and multiplicative periodic formal group laws yields completions of the nil Hecke and the 0-Hecke rings, respectively. We also introduce a formal (affine) Hecke algebra. We show that the specialization of the formal (affine) Hecke algebra to the additive and multiplicative periodic formal group laws gives completions of the degenerate (affine) Hecke algebra and the usual (affine) Hecke algebra, respectively. We show that all formal affine Demazure algebras (and all formal affine Hecke algebras) become isomorphic over certain coefficient rings, proving an analogue of a result of Lusztig.     

Affine cellular algebras

Graham and Lehrer have defined cellular algebras and developed a theory that allows in particular to classify simple representations of finite dimensional cellular algebras. Many classes of finite dimensional algebras, including various Hecke algebras and diagram algebras, have been shown to be cellular, and the theory due to Graham and Lehrer successfully has been applied to these algebras.We will extend the framework of cellular algebras to algebras that need not be finite dimensional over a field. Affine Hecke algebras of type A and infinite dimensional diagram algebras like the affine Temperley–Lieb algebras are shown to be examples of our definition. The isomorphism classes of simple representations of affine cellular algebras are shown to be parameterised by the complement of finitely many subvarieties in a finite disjoint union of affine varieties. In this way, representation theory of non-commutative algebras is linked with commutative algebra. Moreover, conditions on the cell chain are identified that force the algebra to have finite global cohomological dimension and its derived category to admit a stratification; these conditions are shown to be satisfied for the affine Hecke algebra of type A if the quantum parameter is not a root of the Poincaré polynomial.     

Diagram algebras, Hecke algebras and decomposition numbers at roots of unity

We prove that the cell modules of the affine Temperley-Lieb algebra have the same composition factors, when regarded as modules for the affine Hecke algebra of type A, as certain standard modules which are defined homologically. En route, we relate these to the cell modules of the Temperley-Lieb algebra of type B, which provides a connection between Temperley-Lieb algebras on n and n−1 strings. Applications include the explicit determination of some decomposition numbers of standard modules at roots of unity, which in turn has implications for certain Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials associated with nilpotent orbit closures. The methods involve the study of the relationships among several algebras defined by concatenation of braid-like diagrams and between these and Hecke algebras. Connections are made with earlier work of Bernstein-Zelevinsky on the “generic case” and of Jones on link invariants.     

Hecke-Clifford Algebras and Spin Hecke Algebras I: The Classical Affine Type

Associated to the classical Weyl groups, we introduce the notion of degenerate spin affine Hecke algebras and affine Hecke-Clifford algebras. For these algebras, we establish the PBW properties, formulate the intertwiners and describe the centres. We further develop connections of these algebras with the usual degenerate (i.e., graded) affine Hecke algebras of Lusztig by introducing a notion of degenerate covering affine Hecke algebras.     

Homological algebra for affine Hecke algebras

In this paper we study homological properties of modules over an affine Hecke algebra H. In particular we prove a comparison result for higher extensions of tempered modules when passing to the Schwartz algebra S, a certain topological completion of the affine Hecke algebra. The proof is self-contained and based on a direct construction of a bounded contraction of certain standard resolutions of H-modules.This construction applies for all positive parameters of the affine Hecke algebra. This is an important feature, since it is an ingredient to analyse how the irreducible discrete series representations of H arise in generic families over the parameter space of H. For irreducible non-simply laced affine Hecke algebras this will enable us to give a complete classification of the discrete series characters, for all positive parameters (we will report on this application in a separate article).     

Higher level affine Schur and Hecke algebras

We define a higher level version of the affine Hecke algebra and prove that, after completion, this algebra is isomorphic to a completion of Webster's tensor product algebra of type A. We then introduce a higher level version of the affine Schur algebra and establish, again after completion, an isomorphism with the quiver Schur algebra. An important observation is that the higher level affine Schur algebra surjects to the Dipper-James-Mathas cyclotomic q-Schur algebra. Moreover, we give nice diagrammatic presentations for all the algebras introduced in this paper.     

On calibrated representations and the Plancherel Theorem for affine Hecke algebras

This paper has two main purposes. Firstly, we generalise Ram’s combinatorial construction of calibrated representations of the affine Hecke algebra to the multi-parameter case (including the non-reduced BC _n case). We then derive the Plancherel formulae for all rank 1 and rank 2 affine Hecke algebras, using our calibrated representations to construct all representations involved.     

胞腔代数和仿射胞腔代数简介

表示论中一个最基本的问题是确定不可约表示的参数集,这个问题至今没有完全解决.对于Graham和Lehrer引入的有限维胞腔代数,这个问题得到了完满解答,并被成功地应用于数学和物理中出现的许多代数.近来,人们引入仿射胞腔代数,将Graham和Lehrer有限维胞腔代数的表示理论框架推广到一类无限维代数上.仿射胞腔代数不仅包括有限维胞腔代数,也包括无限维的仿射Temperley-Lieb代数和Lusztig的A-型仿射Hecke代数.本文将对胞腔代数的发展历史和主要研究成果做一些综述,同时,对新引入的仿射胞腔代数及其最新成果做一点简介.     

A geometric Schur–Weyl duality for quotients of affine Hecke algebras

After establishing a geometric Schur–Weyl duality in a general setting, we recall this duality in type A in the finite and affine case. We extend the duality in the affine case to positive parts of the affine algebras. The positive parts have nice ideals coming from geometry, allowing duality for quotients. Some of the quotients of the positive affine Hecke algebra are then identified to some cyclotomic Hecke algebras and the geometric setting allows the construction of canonical bases.     

Affine and degenerate affine BMW algebras: actions on tensor space

The affine and degenerate affine Birman–Murakami–Wenzl (BMW) algebras arise naturally in the context of Schur–Weyl duality for orthogonal and symplectic quantum groups and Lie algebras, respectively. Cyclotomic BMW algebras, affine and cyclotomic Hecke algebras, and their degenerate versions are quotients of the affine and degenerate affine BMW algebras. In this paper, we explain how the affine and degenerate affine BMW algebras are tantalizers (tensor power centralizer algebras) by defining actions of the affine braid group and the degenerate affine braid algebra on tensor space and showing that, in important cases, these actions induce actions of the affine and degenerate affine BMW algebras. We then exploit the connection to quantum groups and Lie algebras to determine universal parameters for the affine and degenerate affine BMW algebras. Finally, we show that the universal parameters are central elements—the higher Casimir elements for orthogonal and symplectic enveloping algebras and quantum groups.     

The Hyperbolic Formal Affine Demazure Algebra

In the present paper we extend the construction of the formal (affine) Demazure algebra due to Hoffnung, Malagón-López, Savage and Zainoulline in two directions. First, we introduce and study the notion of a formal Demazure lattice in the Kac-Moody setting and show that all the definitions and properties of the formal (affine) Demazure operators and algebras hold for such lattices. Second, we show that for the hyperbolic formal group law the formal Demazure algebra is isomorphic (after extending the coefficients) to the Hecke algebra.     

An inductive approach to representations of complex reflection groups G(m, 1, n)

We propose an inductive approach to the representation theory of the chain of complex reflection groups G(m, 1, n). We obtain the Jucys-Murphy elements of G(m, 1, n) from the Jucys-Murphy elements of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra and study their common spectrum using representations of a degenerate cyclotomic affine Hecke algebra. We construct representations of G(m, 1, n) using a new associative algebra whose underlying vector space is the tensor product of the group ring ?G(m, 1, n) with a free associative algebra generated by the standard m-tableaux.     

Discrete series characters for affine Hecke algebras and their formal degrees

We introduce the generic central character of an irreducible discrete series representation of an affine Hecke algebra. Using this invariant we give a new classification of the irreducible discrete series characters for all abstract affine Hecke algebras (except for the types E_n⁽¹⁾{E_{n}^{(1)}} , n=6, 7, 8) with arbitrary positive parameters and we prove an explicit product formula for their formal degrees (in all cases).     

Twisted affine Lie superalgebra of type Q and quantization of its enveloping superalgebra

We introduce a new quantum group which is a quantization of the enveloping superalgebra of a twisted affine Lie superalgebra of type Q. We study generators and relations for superalgebras in the finite and twisted affine cases, and also universal central extensions. Afterwards, we apply the FRT formalism to a certain solution of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation to define that new quantum group and we study some of its properties. We construct a functor of Schur–Weyl type which connects it to affine Hecke–Clifford algebras and prove that it provides an equivalence between two categories of modules.     

Double affine Hecke algebras,conformal coinvariants and Kostka polynomials

We study a class of representations called ‘calibrated representations’ of the rational and trigonometric double affine Hecke algebras of type ${\mathit{GL}}_n$. We give a realization of calibrated irreducible modules as spaces of coinvariants constructed from integrable modules over the affine Lie algebra ${\stackrel{?}{\mathfrak{gl}}}_m$. We also give a character formula of these irreducible modules in terms of a generalization of Kostka polynomials. These results are conjectured by Arakawa, Suzuki and Tsuchiya based on the conformal field theory. The proofs using recent results on the representation theory of the double affine Hecke algebras will be presented in the forthcoming papers. To cite this article: T. Suzuki, C. R. Acad. Sci.

Classification of graded Hecke algebras for complex reflection groups

The graded Hecke algebra for a finite Weyl group is intimately related to the geometry of the Springer correspondence. A construction of Drinfeld produces an analogue of a graded Hecke algebra for any finite subgroup of GL(V). This paper classifies all the algebras obtained by applying Drinfeld's construction to complex reflection groups. By giving explicit (though nontrivial) isomorphisms, we show that the graded Hecke algebras for finite real reflection groups constructed by Lusztig are all isomorphic to algebras obtained by Drinfeld's construction. The classification shows that there exist algebras obtained from Drinfeld's construction which are not graded Hecke algebras as defined by Lusztig for real as well as complex reflection groups.

Semisimple Types in GLn

This paper is concerned with the smooth representation theory of the general linear group G=GL(F) of a non-Archimedean local field F. The point is the (explicit) construction of a special series of irreducible representations of compact open subgroups, called semisimple types, and the computation of their Hecke algebras. A given semisimple type determines a Bernstein component of the category of smooth representations of G; that component is then the module category for a tensor product of affine Hecke algebras; every component arises this way. Moreover, all Jacquet functors and parabolic induction functors connecting G with its Levi subgroups are described in terms of standard maps between affine Hecke algebras. These properties of semisimple types depend on their special intertwining properties which in turn imply strong bounds on the support of coefficient functions.     

Standard Modules for Tabular Algebras

We introduce cell modules for the tabular algebras defined in a previous work; these modules are analogous to the representations arising from left Kazhdan–Lusztig cells. The standard modules of the title are constructed in an elementary way by suitable tensoring of the cell modules. We show how a certain extended affine Hecke algebra of type A equipped with its Kazhdan–Lusztig basis is an example of a tabular algebra, and verify that in this case our standard modules coincide with other standard modules defined in the literature.     

Gaudin models with irregular singularities

We introduce a class of quantum integrable systems generalizing the Gaudin model. The corresponding algebras of quantum Hamiltonians are obtained as quotients of the center of the enveloping algebra of an affine Kac-Moody algebra at the critical level, extending the construction of higher Gaudin Hamiltonians from B. Feigin et al. (1994) [17] to the case of non-highest weight representations of affine algebras. We show that these algebras are isomorphic to algebras of functions on the spaces of opers on P¹ with regular as well as irregular singularities at finitely many points. We construct eigenvectors of these Hamiltonians, using Wakimoto modules of critical level, and show that their spectra on finite-dimensional representations are given by opers with trivial monodromy. We also comment on the connection between the generalized Gaudin models and the geometric Langlands correspondence with ramification.     

From double Hecke algebra to Fourier transform

The paper contains a systematic theory of the one-dimensional double affine Hecke algebra including applications to the difference Fourier transform, the Rogers-Macdonald polynomials, the Gaussian sums at roots of unity, and the Verlinde algebras. The main new result is the classification of finite dimensional representations for generic q and at the roots of unity.
