On representations of Hecke algebras

In this report we review some facts about representation theory of Hecke algebras. For Hecke algebras we adapt the approach of A. Okounkov and A. Vershik [Selecta Math., New Ser., 2 (1996) 581], which was developed for the representation theory of symmetric groups. We justify explicit construction of idempotents for Hecke algebras in terms of Jucys-Murphy elements. Ocneanu's traces for these idempotents (which can be interpreted as q-dimensions of corresponding irreducible representations of quantum linear groups) are presented. Presented at the International Colloquium “Integrable Systems and Quantum Symmetries”, Prague, 16–18 June 2005.

本文总结了计算黑克、布劳、及伯曼 温采尔代数在各种工数链下诱导及分导系数的线性方程方法(LEM)。特别强调了关于A,B,C,D型李代数及其量子情形与其中心代数之间的舒尔 魏尔 布劳双关性关系。这一关系使我们能够利用相应中心代数的诱导及分导系数计算出经典李代数及其量子情形的耦合与重新耦合系数。讨论了从该方法得到B,C,D型李代数不可约表示克罗内克积分解的应用。基于LEM还得到了处理对应于置换群CG系列问题的黑克代数张量积的方法。     

Idempotents of Clifford Algebras

A classification of idempotents of Clifford algebras C ^p,q is presented. It is shown that using isomorphisms between Clifford algebras C ^p,q and appropriate matrix rings, it is possible to classify idempotents in any Clifford algebra into continuous families. These families include primitive idempotents used to generate minimal one-sided ideals in Clifford algebras. Some low-dimensional examples are discussed.     

Bethe Subalgebras in Hecke Algebra and Gaudin models

The generating function for elements of the Bethe subalgebra of the Hecke algebra is constructed as Sklyanin’s transfer-matrix operator for the Hecke chain. We show that in a special classical limit ${q \to 1}$ the Hamiltonians of the Gaudin model can be derived from the transfer-matrix operator of the Hecke chain. We construct a non-local analog of the Gaudin Hamiltonians in the case of the Hecke algebras.     

Tensor Products of Hecke Algebras

Tensor product of irreducible representations of Hecke algebras are discussed. It is found that the tensor product of irreps of Hecke algebras generates representations of Birman-Wenzl algebra C_ƒ(γ, q) with γ = q³ or-q^-3. A procedure for the evaluation of tensor product coefficients (TPC's) of H_ƒ (q)oH_ƒ(q) ↓ C_ƒ(γ,q) is established when the representations of Cƒ(γ, q) remain irreducible. An example of deriving TPC's of H_ƒ (q)oH_ƒ(q) ↓ C_ƒ(γ, q) is given. It is also found that indecomposable representation of C₄(γ q) occurs in the tensor product [211]o[31].     

Flag Varieties and the Yang-Baxter Equation

We investigate certain bases of Hecke algebras defined by means of theYang–Baxter equation, which we call Yang–Baxter bases. These bases areessentially self-adjoint with respect to a canonical bilinear form. In thecase of the degenerate Hecke algebra, we identify the coefficients in theexpansion of the Yang–Baxter basis on the usual basis of the algebra withspecializations of double Schubert polynomials. We also describe theexpansions associated to other specializations of the generic Heckealgebra.     

Models for the 3D singular isotropic oscillator quadratic algebra

We give the first explicit construction of the quadratic algebra for a 3D quantum superintegrable system with nondegenerate (4-parameter) potential together with realizations of irreducible representations of the quadratic algebra in terms of differential—differential or differential—difference and difference—difference operators in two variables. The example is the singular isotropic oscillator. We point out that the quantum models arise naturally from models of the Poisson algebras for the corresponding classical superintegrable system. These techniques extend to quadratic algebras for superintegrable systems in n dimensions and are closely related to Hecke algebras and multivariable orthogonal polynomials.     

Large <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> Expansion of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Deformed Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory and Hecke Algebras

We derive the q-deformation of the chiral Gross-Taylor holomorphic string large N expansion of two dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. Delta functions on symmetric group algebras are replaced by the corresponding objects (canonical trace functions) for Hecke algebras. The role of the Schur-Weyl duality between unitary groups and symmetric groups is now played by q-deformed Schur-Weyl duality of quantum groups. The appearance of Euler characters of configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces in the expansion persists. We discuss the geometrical meaning of these formulae.     

Representations of some finite algebras of Fermi operators

Representations of some finite algebras of Fermi operators occuring in the theory of Fermi-systems are given. All considered finite algebras are semi-simple, and, according to the Wedderburn structure theorem, they are isomorphic to direct sums of full rings.Constructing for each algebra a complete system of orthogonal primitive idempotents. the decomposition of the considered algebras into full rings can be calculated explicitly.     

On baxterized solutions of reflection equation and integrable chain models

Nonpolynomial baxterized solutions of reflection equations associated with affine Hecke and affine Birman–Murakami–Wenzl algebras are found. Relations to integrable spin chain models with nontrivial boundary conditions are discussed.     

R-matrix arising from affine Hecke algebras and its application to Macdonald's difference operators

We shall give a certain trigonometric R-matrix associated with each root system by using affine Hecke algebras. From this R-matrix, we derive a quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation after Cherednik, and show that the solutions of this KZ equation yield eigenfunctions of Macdonald's difference operators.     

Hecke algebras at roots of unity and crystal bases of quantum affine algebras

We present a fast algorithm for computing the global crystal basis of the basic -module. This algorithm is based on combinatorial techniques which have been developed for dealing with modular representations of symmetric groups, and more generally with representations of Hecke algebras of typeA at roots of unity. We conjecture that, upon specializationq1, our algorithm computes the decomposition matrices of all Hecke algebras at an ^th root of 1.Partially supported by PRC Math-Info and EEC grant n⁰ ERBCHRXCT930400.     

On the relation of Manin’s quantum plane and quantum Clifford algebras

In a recent work we have shown that quantum Clifford algebras — i.e. Clifford algebras of an arbitrary bilinear form — are closely related to the deformed structures asq-spin groups, Hecke algebras,q-Young operators and deformed tensor products. The question to relate Manin’s approach to quantum Clifford algebras is addressed here. Explicit computations using the CLIFFORD Maple package are exhibited. The meaning of non-commutative geometry is reexamined and interpreted in Clifford algebraic terms. Presented at the 9th Colloquium “Quantum Groups and Integrable Systems”, Prague, 22–24 June 2000.     

A Lie Theoretic Approach to Renormalization

Motivated by recent work of Connes and Marcolli, based on the Connes–Kreimer approach to renormalization, we augment the latter by a combinatorial, Lie algebraic point of view. Our results rely both on the properties of the Dynkin idempotent, one of the fundamental Lie idempotents in the theory of free Lie algebras, and on properties of Hopf algebras encapsulated in the notion of associated descent algebras. Besides leading very directly to proofs of the main combinatorial aspects of the renormalization procedures, the new techniques give rise to an algebraic approach to the Galois theory of renormalization. In particular, they do not depend on the geometry underlying the case of dimensional regularization and the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence. This is illustrated with a discussion of the BPHZ renormalization scheme.     

Moment Problem and Spectral Theorem

Hausdorff momentum problem and its relations to spectral theorem for bounded Hilbert space operators are treated. A generalization for some ordered algebras is shown, where projections are replaced by idempotents.     

Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction in quantum algebras: canonical form of generating matrices

We define the second canonical forms for the generating matrices of the Reflection Equation algebras and the braided Yangians, associated with all even skew-invertible involutive and Hecke symmetries. By using the Cayley–Hamilton identities for these matrices, we show that they are similar to their canonical forms in the sense of Chervov and Talalaev (J Math Sci (NY) 158:904–911, 2008).     

On Polynomials Interpolating Between the Stationary State of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">O</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>) Model and a Q.H.E. Ground State

We obtain a family of polynomials defined by vanishing conditions and associated to tangles. We study more specifically the case where they are related to a O(n) loop model. We conjecture that their specializations at z _i = 1 are positive in n. At n = 1, they coincide with the Razumov-Stroganov integers counting alternating sign matrices. We derive the CFT modular invariant partition functions labelled by Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams using the representation theory of the affine Hecke algebras.     

Reaction-Diffusion Processes, Critical Dynamics, and Quantum Chains

The master equation describing non-equilibrium one-dimensional problems like diffusion limited reactions or critical dynamics of classical spin systems can be written as a Schrödinger equation in which the wave function is the probability distribution and the Hamiltonian is that of a quantum chain with nearest neighbor interactions. Since many one-dimensional quantum chains are integrable, this opens a new field of applications. At the same time physical intuition and probabilistic methods bring new insight into the understanding of the properties of quantum chains. A simple example is the asymmetric diffusion of several species of particles which leads naturally to Hecke algebras and q-deformed quantum groups. Many other examples are given. Several relevant technical aspects like critical exponents, correlation functions, and finite-size scaling are also discussed in detail.
