A presentation for reduced extended affine weyl groups

In 1985 K. Saito [Sal] introduced the concept of an extended affine Weyl group (EAWG), the Weyl group of an extended affine root system (EARS). In [A2, Section 5J, we gave a presentation called “a presentation by conjugation” for the class of EAWGs of index zero, a subclass of EAWGs. In this paper we will give a presentation wh.ich we call a “generalized present.ation by conjugation” for the class of reduced EAWGs. If the extended affine Weyl group is of index zero this presentation reduces to “a presentation by conjugation”. Our main result states that when the nullity of the EARS is 2, these two presentations coincide that is, EAWGs of nullity 2 have “a presentation by conjugation”. In [ST] another presentation for EAWGs of nullity 2 is given.     

A Root System Criterion for Fully Commutative and Short Braid-Avoiding Elements in Affine Weyl Groups

We provide simple characterizations of short-braid avoiding and fully commutative elements in an affine Weyl group W, generalizing results of Fan and Stembridge for finite Weyl groups. Our results rely on the combinatorics of the compatible subsets of the root system of W.

Upper Bounds in Affine Weyl Groups under the Weak Order

Björner and Wachs proved that under the weak order every quotient of a Coxeter group is a meet semi-lattice, and in the finite case is a lattice. In this paper, we examine the case of an affine Weyl group W with corresponding finite Weyl group W ₀. In particular, we show that the quotient of W by W ₀ is a lattice and that up to isomorphism this is the only quotient of W which is a lattice. We also determine that the question of which pairs of elements of W have upper bounds can be reduced to the analogous question within a particular finite subposet.

REPRESENTATIONS OF AFFINE HECKEALGE BRAS OF TYPE G2

Let k be a field and q a nonzero element in k such that the square roots of q are in k. We use Hq to denote an affne Hecke algebra over k of type G2 with parameter q. The purpose of this paper is to study representations of Hq by using based rings of two-sided cells of an affne Weyl group W of type G2. We shall give the classification of irreducible representations of Hq. We also remark that a calculation in [11] actually shows that Theorem 2 in [1] needs a modification, a fact is known to Grojnowski and Tanisaki long time ago. In this paper we also show an interesting relation between Hq and an Hecke algebra corresponding to a certain Coxeter group. Apparently the idea in this paper works for all affne Weyl groups, but that is the theme of another paper.     

The Core of a Locally Extended Affine Lie Algebra

Locally extended affine Lie algebras are a general version of extended affine Lie algebras. In this article, we completely describe the structure of the core of a locally extended affine Lie algebra. We prove that the core of a locally extended affine Lie algebra is a direct limit of Lie tori.

Le groupe fondamental de certains espaces d'orbites regulieres de groupes de Weyl affines

The affine Weyl group W _aof an irreducible root system of rank n acts on the complexification h of a real space of dimension n via the usual (affine) action on the imaginary part and the action through the finite Weyl group on the real part. This group acts freely on the complement h of some complex hyperplanes. We prove a presentation of the fundamental group of the quotient hW _a.

Direct Unions of Lie Tori (Realization of Locally Extended Affine Lie Algebras)

In this work, we consider realizations of locally extended affine Lie algebras, in the level of core modulo center. We provide a framework similar to the one for extended affine Lie algebras by “direct unions.” Our approach suggests that the direct union of existing realizations of extended affine Lie algebras, in a rigorous mathematical sense, would lead to a complete realization of locally extended affine Lie algebras, in the level of core modulo center. As an application of our results, we realize centerless cores of locally extended affine Lie algebras with specific root systems of types A₁, B, C, and BC.     

A family of affine Weyl group representations

In this paper we explicitly determine the virtual representations of the finite Weyl subgroups of the affine Weyl group on the cohomology of the space of affine flags containing a family of elementsn _t in an affine Lie algebra. We also compute the Euler characteristic of the space of partial flags containingn _t and give a connection with hyperplane arrangements.This paper forms part of my Ph.D. thesis at M.I.T. I was supported by an NSF Graduate Fellowship and NSF grant DMS 9304580.     

Extended affine Weyl groups and Frobenius manifolds

We define certain extensions of affine Weyl groups (distinct from these considered by K. Saito [S1] in the theory of extended affine root systems), prove an analogue of Chevalley Theorem for their invariants, and construct a Frobenius structure on their orbit spaces. This produces solutions F(t₁, ..., t_n) of WDVV equations of associativity polynomial in t₁, ..., t_n-1, exp t_n.

Existence of the uniformly minimum risk equivariant estimators of parameters in a class of normal linear models

In this paper, we study the existence of the uniformly minimum risk equivariant (UMRE) estimators of parameters in a class of normal linear models, which include the normal variance components model, the growth curve model, the extended growth curve model, and the seemingly unrelated regression equations model, and so on. The necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of UMRE estimators of the estimable linear functions of regression coefficients, the covariance matrixV and (trV)^α, where α > 0 is known, in the models under an affine group of transformations for quadratic losses and matrix losses, respectively. Under the (extended) growth curve model and the seemingly unrelated regression equations model, the conclusions given in literature for estimating regression coefficients can be derived by applying the general results in this paper, and the sufficient conditions for non-existence of UMRE estimators ofV and tr(V) are expanded to be necessary and sufficient conditions. In addition, the necessary and sufficient conditions that there exist UMRE estimators of parameters in the variance components model are obtained for the first time.
