Dirac cohomology of the Dunkl-Opdam subalgebra via inherited Drinfeld properties

Abstract

In this paper, we define a new presentation for the Dunkl-Opdam subalgebra of the rational Cherednik algebra. This presentation uncovers the Dunkl-Opdam subalgebra as a Drinfeld algebra. We use this fact to define Dirac cohomology for the DO subalgebra. We also formalize generalized graded Hecke algebras and extend a Langlands classification to generalized graded Hecke algebras.
