Periodic Integrable Systems with Delta-Potentials

In this paper we study root system generalizations of the quantum Bose-gas on the circle with pair-wise delta-function interactions. The underlying symmetry structures are shown to be governed by the associated graded algebra of Cherednik's (suitably filtered) degenerate double affine Hecke algebra, acting by Dunkl-type differential-reflection operators. We use Gutkin's generalization of the equivalence between the impenetrable Bose-gas and the free Fermi-gas to derive the Bethe ansatz equations and the Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions.     

A remark on the irreducible characters and fake degrees of finite real reflection groups

Summary Beynon and Lusztig have shown that the fake degrees of almost all irreducible characters of finite real reflection groups are palindromes, and that the exceptions to this rule correspond to the non rational characters of the generic ringA defined overR=C[q]. Their proof consists of a case-by-case check. In this note we give an explanation for this phenomenon and some related facts about fake degrees. Moreover, in the situation where we allow for distinct parametersq in the definition ofA, we shall give a simple uniform proof of the fact that all the central idempotents of are elements of , where .Oblatum 10-XI-1994     

Dunkl Operators for Complex Reflection Groups

Dunkl operators for complex reflection groups are defined inthis paper. These commuting operators give rise to a parameterizedfamily of deformations of the polynomial De Rham complex. Thisleads to the study of the polynomial ring as a module over the‘rational Cherednik algebra’, and a natural contravariantform on this module. In the case of the imprimitive complexreflection groups G(m, p, N), the set of singular parametersin the parameterized family of these structures is describedexplicitly, using the theory of non-symmetric Jack polynomials.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 20F55 (primary), 52C35,05E05, 33C08 (secondary).     

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).     

Spectral transfer morphisms for unipotent affine Hecke algebras

We classify the spectral transfer morphisms (cf. Opdam in Adv Math 286:912–957, 2016) between affine Hecke algebras associated to the unipotent types of the various inner forms of an unramified absolutely simple algebraic group G defined over a non-archimedean local field k. This turns out to characterize Lusztig’s classification (Lusztig in Int Math Res Not 11:517–589, 1995; in Represent Theory 6:243–289, 2002) of unipotent characters of G in terms of the Plancherel measure, up to diagram automorphisms. As an application of these results, the spectral correspondences associated with such morphisms (Opdam 2016), and some results of Ciubotaru, Kato and Kato [CKK] (also see Ciubotaru and Opdam in A uniform classification of the discrete series representations of affine Hecke algebras. arXiv:1510.07274) we prove a conjecture of Hiraga, Ichino and Ikeda [HII] on formal degrees and adjoint gamma factors in the special case of unipotent discrete series characters of inner forms of unramified simple groups of adjoint type defined over k.     

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).     

Extensions of tempered representations

Let π, π′ be irreducible tempered representations of an affine Hecke algebra ${\mathcal{H}}$ with positive parameters. We compute the higher extension groups Ext ${{}_\mathcal{H}^n (\pi,\pi')}$ explicitly in terms of the representations of analytic R-groups corresponding to π and π′. The result has immediate applications to the computation of the Euler–Poincaré pairing EP (π, π′), the alternating sum of the dimensions of the Ext-groups. The resulting formula for EP(π, π′) is equal to Arthur’s formula for the elliptic pairing of tempered characters in the setting of reductive p-adic groups. Our proof applies equally well to affine Hecke algebras and to reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields of arbitrary characteristic. This sheds new light on the formula of Arthur and gives a new proof of Kazhdan’s orthogonality conjecture for the Euler–Poincaré pairing of admissible characters.
