We prove that the center of an infinitesimal Cherednik algebra of $\mf{gl}_2$ is the polynomial algebra of two variables over the field of characteristic 0. In positive characteristic we show that any infinitesimal Cherednik algebra is a finitely generated module over its center.
We show that the center of infinitesimal Cherednik algebras of gl_n is isomorphic to the polynomial algebra in n variables. Based on this we derive consequences for representation theory of these algebras.
In this article we establish an isomorphism between universal infinitesimal Cherednik algebras and W-algebras for Lie algebras of the same type and 1-block nilpotent elements. As a consequence we obtain some fundamental results about infinitesimal Cherednik algebras.
Infinitesimal Cherednik algebras, first introduced in [EGG], are continuous analogues of rational Cherednik algebras, and in the case of gl_n, are deformations of universal enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras sl_{n+1}. Despite these connections, infinitesimal Cherednik algebras are not widely-studied, and basic questions of intrinsic algebraic and representation theoretical nature remain open. In the first half of this paper, we construct the complete center of H_ζ(gl_n) for the case of n=2 and give one particular generator of the center, the Casimir operator, for general n. We find the ac…
For any smooth algebraic curve C, Pavel Etingof introduced a `global' Cherednik algebra as a natural deformation of the cross product of the algebra of differential operators on C^n and the symmetric group. We provide a construction of the global Cherednik algebra in terms of quantumn Hamiltonian reduction. We study a category of character D-modules on a representation scheme associated to C and define a Hamiltonian reduction functor from that category to category O for the global Cherednik algebra. In the special case where the curve C is the multiplicative group, the global Cherednik algebra…
The present notes are based on a course on Cherednik algebras given by the first author at MIT in the Fall of 2009. Their goal is to give an introduction to Cherednik algebras, and to review the web of connections between them and other mathematical objects.
We study canonical intertwining operators between modules of the trigonometric Cherednik algebra, induced from the standard modules of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra. We show that these operators correspond to the Zhelobenko operators for the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_m$. To establish the correspondence, we use the functor of Arakawa, Suzuki and Tsuchiya which maps certain $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_m$-modules to modules of the Cherednik algebra.
The goal of this paper is to define a new class of objects which we call triple groups and to relate them with Cherednik's double affine Hecke algebras. This has as immediate consequences new descriptions of double affine Weyl and Artin groups, the double affine Hecke algebras as well as the corresponding elliptic objects. From the new descriptions we recover results of Cherednik on automorphisms of double affine Hecke algebras.
We prove that the KZ functor from a certain category of modules for the Cherednik algebra to finite dimensional modules over the Hecke algebra is essentially surjective. Then we begin to use this result to study the analog of category O for Cherednik algebras on Riemann surfaces and on products of elliptic curves. In particular we give conditions on the parameters under which these categories are nonzero.
This paper surveys the representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. We also discuss the representations of the spherical subalgebras. We describe in particular the results on category O. For type A, we explain relations with the Hilbert scheme of points on C^2. We insist on the analogy with the representation theory of complex semi-simple Lie algebras.
In this paper we describe the Jordan-Holder series of the standard modules over the rational Cherednik algebras associated with the dihedral group. In particular, we compute the characters of the irreducible representations from the category O and classify the finite dimensional representations.
We introduce parabolic induction and restriction functors for rational Cherednik algebras, and study their basic properties. Then we discuss applications of these functors to representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. In particular, we prove the Gordon-Stafford theorem about Morita equivalence of the rational Cherednik algebra for type A and its spherical subalgebra, without the assumption that c is not a half-integer, which was required up to now. Also, we classify representations from category O over the rational Cherednik algebras of type A which do not contain an S_n-invariant v…
The goal of this paper is to generalize several basic results from the theory of $\cal{D}$-modules to the representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. We relate characterizations of holonomic modules in terms of singular support and Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. We study pullback, pushforward, and dual on the derived category of (holonomic) Cherednik modules for certain classes of maps between varieties. We prove, in the case of generic parameters for the rational Cherednik algebra, that pushforward with respect to an open affine inclusion preserves holonomicity.
Given the spherical subalgebra $B$ of a rational Cherednik algebra, we aim to classify all finite groups $Γ$ for which there exists a domain $R$ on which $Γ$ acts by ring automorphisms, such that $B=R^Γ.$ We describe such groups in terms of geometry of the center of the reduction of $B$ modulo a large prime.
We introduce braided Dunkl operators that are acting on a q-polynomial algebra and q-commute. Generalizing the approach of Etingof and Ginzburg, we explain the q-commutation phenomenon by constructing braided Cherednik algebras for which the above operators form a representation. We classify all braided Cherednik algebras using the theory of braided doubles developed in our previous paper. Besides ordinary rational Cherednik algebras, our classification gives new algebras attached to an infinite family of subgroups of even elements in complex reflection groups, so that the corresponding braide…
We introduce and study deformations of finite-dimensional modules over rational Cherednik algebras. Our main tool is a generalization of usual harmonic polynomials for Coxeter groups -- the so-called quasiharmonic polynomials. A surprising application of this approach is the construction of canonical elementary symmetric polynomials and their deformations for all Coxeter groups.
This paper describes irreducible representations in category O of the rational Cherednik algebra H_c(H_3,h) associated to the exceptional Coxeter group H_3 and any complex parameter c. We compute the characters of all these representations explicitly. As a consequence, we classify all the finite dimensional irreducible representations of H_c(H_3,h).
We study the polynomial representation of the rational Cherednik algebra of type $A_{n-1}$ with generic parameter in characteristic $p$ for $p \mid n$. We give explicit formulas for generators for the maximal proper graded submodule, show that they cut out a complete intersection, and thus compute the Hilbert series of the irreducible quotient. Our methods are motivated by taking characteristic $p$ analogues of existing characteristic $0$ results.
Hopf-Hecke algebras and Barbasch-Sahi algebras were defined by the first named author (2016) in order to provide a general framework for the study of Dirac cohomology. The aim of this paper is to explore new examples of these definitions and to contribute to their classification. Hopf-Hecke algebras are distinguished by an orthogonality condition and a PBW property. The PBW property for algebras such as the ones considered here has been of great interest in the literature and we extend this discussion by further results on the classification of such deformations and by a class of hitherto unex…
We study unitarity of lowest weight irreducible representations of rational Cherednik algebras. We prove several general results, and use them to determine which lowest weight representations are unitary in a number of cases. In particular, in type A, we give a complete description of the unitarity locus (justified in Section 5 and appendix by Stephen Griffeth), and resolve a question by Cherednik on the unitarity of the irreducible subrepresentation of the polynomial representation. Also, as a by-product, we establish Kasatani's conjecture in full generality (the previous proof by Enomoto ass…
We consider representations of rational Cherednik algebras which are particular ideals in the ring of polynomials. We investigate convergence of the integrals which express the Gaussian inner product on these representations. We derive that the integrals converge for the minimal submodules in types B and D for the singular values suggested by Cherednik with at most one exception, hence the corresponding modules are unitary. The analogous result on unitarity of the minimal submodules in type A was obtained by Etingof and Stoica, we give a different proof of convergence of the Gaussian product i…
We classify the rational Cherednik algebras H_c(W) (and their spherical subalgebras) up to isomorphism and Morita equivalence in case when W is the symmetric group and `c' is a generic parameter value.
We consider ideals of polynomials vanishing on the W-orbits of the intersections of mirrors of a finite reflection group W. We determine all such ideals which are invariant under the action of the corresponding rational Cherednik algebra hence form submodules in the polynomial module. We show that a quantum integrable system can be defined for every such ideal for a real reflection group W. This leads to known and new integrable systems of Calogero-Moser type which we explicitly specify. In the case of classical Coxeter groups we also obtain generalized Calogero-Moser systems with added quadra…
We study a connection between the representation theory of the rational Cherednik algebra of type $GL_n$ and the representation theory of the degenerate double affine Hecke algebra (the degenerate DAHA). We focus on an algebra embedding from the rational Cherednik algebra to the degenerate DAHA and investigate the induction functor through this embedding. We prove that this functor embeds the category ${\mathcal O}$ for the rational Cherednik algebra fully faithfully into the category ${\mathcal O}$ for the degenerate DAHA. We also study the full subcategory ${\mathcal O}^{ss}$ of ${\mathcal O…
Based on the methods developed in [Kashiwara-Rouquier], we consider microlocalization of the rational Cherednik algebra of type $\Z/l\Z$. Our goal is to construct the irreducible modules and standard modules of the rational Cherednik algebra by using the microlocalization. As a consequence, we obtain the sheaves of microlocal system corresponding to holonomic systems with regular singularities.
In this note we determine the values of parameters c for which the polynomial representation of the degenerate double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA), i.e. the trigonometric Cherednik algebra, is reducible. Namely, we show that c is a reducibility point for the polynomial representation of the trigonometric Cherednik algebra for a root system R if and only if it is a reducibility point for the rational Cherednik algebra for the Weyl group of some root subsystem R' of R of the same rank; such subsystems for any R are given by the well known Borel-de Siebenthal algorithm. This result has been proved…
We study the Dunkl-Opdam subalgebra of the rational Cherednik algebra for wreath products at $t=0$, and use this to describe the block decomposition of restricted rational Cherednik algebras for $G(m,d,n)$.
Ram and Rammage have introduced an automorphism and Clifford theory on affine Hecke algebras. Here we will extend them to cyclotomic Hecke algebras and rational Cherednik algebras.
We classify blocks of category $\mathcal{O}$ for rational Cherednik algebras and of cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type G(r,p,n) by using the "residue equivalence" for multi-partitions.
We construct a microlocalization of the rational Cherednik algebras $H$ of type $S_n$. This is achieved by a quantization of the Hilbert scheme $\Hilb^n\C^2$ of $n$ points in $\C^2$. We then prove the equivalence of the category of $H$-modules and the one of modules over its microlocalization under certain conditions on the parameter.
Motivated by the recent developments of the theory of Cherednik algebras in positive characteristic, we study rational Cherednik algebras with divided powers. In our research we have started with the simplest case, the rational Cherednik algebra of type $A_1$. We investigate its maximal divided power extensions over $R[c]$ and $R$ for arbitrary principal ideal domains $R$ of characteristic zero. In these cases, we prove that the maximal divided power extensions are free modules over the base rings, and construct an explicit basis in the case of $R[c]$. In addition, we provide an abstract const…
We show that the wall crossing bijections between simples of the category O of the rational Cherednik algebras reduce to particular crystal isomorphisms which can be computed by a simple combinatorial procedure on multipartitions of fixed rank.
We study rational Cherednik algebras over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We first prove several general results about category O, and then focus on rational Cherednik algebras associated to the general and special linear group over a finite field of the same characteristic as the underlying algebraically closed field. For such algebras we calculate the characters of irreducible representations with trivial lowest weight.
We study the rational Cherednik algebra attached to the complex reflection group $G(r,1,2)$. Each irreducible representation $S^λ$ of $G(r,1,2)$ corresponds to a standard module $Δ(λ)$ for the rational Cherednik algebra. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of morphism between two of these modules and explicit formulas for them when they exist.
We give sufficient conditions for the affinity of Etingof's sheaves of Cherednik algebras on projective space. To do this we introduce the notion of pull-back of modules under certain flat morphisms.
We study blocks of category O for the Cherednik algebra having the property that every irreducible module in the block admits a BGG resolution, and as a consequence prove a character formula conjectured by Oblomkov-Yun.
Given a complex reflection group W we compute the support of the spherical irreducible module of the rational Cherednik algebra of W in terms of the simultaneous eigenfunction of the Dunkl operators and Schur elements for finite Hecke algebras.
In this paper, we study representations of the rational Cherednik algebra associated to the complex reflection group $G_4$. In particular, we classify the irreducible finite dimensional representations and compute their characters.
We finish the classification of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of rational Cherednik algebras $H_c(W)$ with equal parameters for exceptional Coxeter groups by resolving the last open case: when $W=E_8$ and the denominator of $c$ is $3$.
In this survey article we review Kac-Moody and Heisenberg algebra actions on the categories $\mathcal{O}$ of the rational Cherednik algebras associated to groups $G(\ell,1,n)$. Using these actions we solve basic representation theoretic problems for these categories such as the classification of finite dimensional irreducible representations and computation of characters of the irreducibles.
We introduce the notion of a totally aspherical parameter for a Rational Cherednik algebra. We get an explicit construction of the projective object defining the KZ functor for such parameters. We establish the existence of sufficiently many totally aspherical parameters for the groups G(l,1,n).
A complete classification and character formulas for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebra of type A is given. Less complete results for other types are obtained. Links to the geometry of affine flag manifolds and Hilbert schemes are discussed.
We construct characteristic-free bases and BGG resolutions of unitary simple modules of quiver Hecke algebras and Cherednik algebras. We hence solve and vastly generalise Berkesch-Griffeth-Sam's conjecture, calculate the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of ideals of of certain highly symmetric linear subspace arrangements, and compute Dirac homology of Cherednik algebras.
We define Lie algebra cohomology associated with the half-Dirac operators for representations of rational Cherednik algebras and show that it has property described in the Casselman-Osborne Theorem by establishing a version of the Vogan's conjecture for the half-Dirac operators. Moreover, we study the relationship between Lie algebra cohomology and Dirac cohomology in analogy of the representations for semisimple Lie algebras.
We give a non-negative combinatorial formula, in terms of Littlewood-Richardson numbers, for the homology of the unitary representations of the cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebra, and as a consequence, for the graded Betti numbers for the ideals of a class of subspace arrangements arising from the reflection arrangements of complex reflection groups.
We consider irreducible lowest-weight representations of Cherednik algebras associated to certain classes of complex reflection groups in characteristic p. In particular, we study maximal graded submodules of Verma modules associated to these algebras. Various results and conjectures are presented concerning generators of these maximal submodules, which are found by computing singular polynomials of Dunkl operators.
In this article we study rational Cherednik algebras at $t = 1$ in positive characteristic. We study a finite dimensional quotient of the rational Cherednik algebra called the restricted rational Cherednik algebra. When the corresponding pseudo-reflection group belongs to the infinite series $G(m,d,n)$, we describe explicitly the block decomposition of the restricted algebra. We also classify all pseudo-reflection groups for which the centre of the corresponding rational Cherednik algebra is regular for generic values of the deformation parameter.
Bezrukavnikov and Etingof introduced some functors between the categories O for rational Cherednik algebras. Namely, they defined two induction functors Ind_b, ind_λand two restriction functors Res_b,res_λ. They conjectured that one has functor isomorphisms $Ind_b\cong ind_λ, Res_b\cong res_λ$. The goal of this paper is to prove this conjecture.
We introduce parabolic degenerations of rational Cherednik algebras of complex reflection groups, and use them to give necessary conditions for finite-dimensionality of an irreducible lowest weight module for the rational Cherednik algebra of a complex reflection group, and for the existence of a non-zero map between two standard modules. The latter condition reproduces and enhances, in the case of the symmetric group, the combinatorics of cores and dominance order, and in general shows that the c-ordering on category O may be replaced by a much coarser ordering. The former gives a new proof o…
In this paper we describe the characters of irreducible objects in category O for the rational Cherednik algebra associated to GL_2(F_p) over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p, for any value of the parameter t and generic value of the parameter c.
We prove an analogue of James-Donkin row removal theorems for arbitrary diagrammatic Cherednik algebras. This is one of the first results concerning the (graded) decomposition numbers of these algebras over fields of arbitrary characteristic. As a special case, our results yield a new reduction theorem for graded decomposition numbers and extension groups for cyclotomic q-Schur algebras.
We study the endomorphism algebra of Verma modules for rational Cherednik algebras at t=0. It is shown that, in many cases, these endomorphism algebras are quotients of the centre of the rational Cherednik algebra. Geometrically, they define Lagrangian subvariaties of the generalized Calogero-Moser space. In the introduction, we motivate our results by describing them in the context of derived intersections of Lagrangians.
Ginzburg, Guay, Opdam and Rouquier established an equivalence of categories between a quotient category of the category $\mathcal{O}$ for the rational Cherednik algebra and the category of finite dimension modules of the Hecke algebra of a complex reflection group $W$. We establish two generalizations of this result. On the one hand to the extension of the Hecke algebra associated to the normaliser of a reflection subgroup and on the other hand to the extension of the Hecke algebra by a lattice.
We study those finite dimensional quotients of the rational Cherednik algebra at t=0 that are supported at a point of the centre. It is shown that each such quotient is Morita equivalent to a certain cuspidal quotient of a rational Cherednik algebra associated to a parabolic subgroup of W.
In this paper, we classify the irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebras of rank 1 in characteristic p > 0. There are two cases. One is the "quantum" case, where "Planck's constant" is nonzero and generic irreducible representations have dimension pr, where r is the order of the cyclic group contained in the algebra. The other is the "classical" case, where "Planck's constant" is zero and generic irreducible representations have dimension r.
We give an overview of the representation theory of restricted rational Cherednik algebras. These are certain finite-dimensional quotients of rational Cherednik algebras at t=0. Their representation theory is connected to the geometry of the Calogero-Moser space, and there is a lot of evidence that they contain certain information about Hecke algebras even though the precise connection is so far unclear. We outline the basic theory along with some open problems and conjectures, and give explicit results in the cyclic and dihedral cases.
