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 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 study lowest weight representations of the rational Cherednik algebra attached to a complex reflection group W. In particular, we generalize a number of previous results due to Berest, Etingof and Ginzburg.
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 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 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.
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…
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 $3$.
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 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.
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 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…
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 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.
The representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras of type A at t=0 gives rise, by considering supports, to a natural family of smooth Lagrangian subvarieties of the Calogero-Moser space. The goal of this article is to make precise the relationship between these Lagrangians and Schubert cells in the adelic Grassmannian. In order to do this we show that the isomorphism, as constructed by Etingof and Ginzburg, from the spectrum of the centre of the rational Cherednik algebra to the Calogero-Moser space is compatible with the factorization property of both of these spaces. As a consequence,…
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.
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.
In this paper, we describe the irreducible representations in category O of the rational Cherednik algebra H_c(G_12,h) associated to the complex reflection group G_12 with reflection representation h for an arbitary complex parameter c. In particular, we determine the irreducible finite dimensional representations and compute their characters.
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.
In this article, we describe all two sided ideals of a cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebra $H_\mathbf{c}$ and its spherical subalgebra $eH_\mathbf{c} e$ with a Weil generic aspherical parameter $\mathbf{c}$, and further describe the simple modules in the category $\mathcal{O}^{sph}_\mathbf{c}$ . The main tools we use are categorical Kac-Moody actions on catogories $\mathcal{O}_\mathbf{c}$ and restriction functors for Harish-Chandra bimodules.
We compare crystal combinatorics of the level $2$ Fock space with the classification of unitary representations of type $B$ rational Cherednik algebras to show that any finite-dimensional unitary irreducible representation of such an algebra is labeled by a bipartition consisting of a rectangular partition in one component and the empty partition in the other component. This is a new proof of a result that can be deduced from theorems of Montarani and Etingof-Stoica.
We classify the simple modules for the rational Cherednik algebra that are irreducible when restricted to W, in the case when W is a finite Weyl group. The classification turns out to be closely related to the cuspidal two-sided cells in the sense of Lusztig. We compute the Dirac cohomology of these modules and use the tools of Dirac theory to find nontrivial relations between the cuspidal Calogero-Moser cells and the cuspidal two-sided cells.
This paper and its sequel describe the irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebra $H_c(W)$ for a finite Coxeter group $W$ of type $H_4$, $F_4$ with equal parameters, $E_6$, $E_7$, and $E_8$, when $c$ is not a half-integer. Herein appear the decomposition matrices of Category $\mathcal{O}_c(W)$ for $W=H_4$, $E_6$, and $E_7$, as well as a classification of finite-dimensional representations of $H_c(W)$ for these groups and for $H_c(F_4)$ with equal parameters.
Symplectic reflection algebras arise in many different mathematical disciplines: integrable systems, Lie theory, representation theory, differential operators, symplectic geometry. In this paper, we introduce baby Verma modules for symplectic reflection algebras of complex reflection groups at parameter t=0 (the so--called rational Cherednik algebras at parameter t=0) and present their most basic properties. By analogy with the representation theory of reductive Lie algebras in positive characteristic, we believe these modules are fundamental to the understanding of the representation theory a…
We first consider the rational Cherednik algebra corresponding to the action of a finite group on a complex variety, as defined by Etingof. We define a category of representations of this algebra which is analogous to "category O" for the rational Cherednik algebra of a vector space. We generalise to this setting Bezrukavnikov and Etingof's results about the possible support sets of such representations. Then we focus on the case of $S_n$ acting on $\C^n$, determining which irreducible modules in this category have which support sets. We also show that the category of representations with a gi…
We provide geometric constructions of modules over the graded Cherednik algebra $\mathfrak{H}^{gr}_ν$ and the rational Cherednik algebra $\mathfrak{H}^{rat}_ν$ attached to a simple algebraic group $\mathbb{G}$ together with a pinned automorphism $θ$. These modules are realized on the cohomology of affine Springer fibers (of finite type) that admit $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions. In the rational Cherednik algebra case, the standard grading on these modules is derived from the perverse filtration on the cohomology of affine Springer fibers coming from its global analog: Hitchin fibers. When $θ$ is trivi…
In this paper, we shall establish the Mackey formulas in the following two set ups: (i) on the tensor induction and restriction functors on the modules over cyclotomic Hecke algebras (Ariki-Koike algebras) and their standard subalgebras of parabolic subgroups. (ii) on the Bezrukavnikov-Etingof induction and restriction functors among categories O of rational Cherednik algebras for the complex reflection group of type G(r, 1, n) and their parabolic subgroups.
In the case of rational Cherednik algebras associated with cyclic groups, we give an alternative proof that the projective object $P_{\text{KZ}}$ representing the KZ-functor is isomorphic to the $Δ$-module associated with the coinvariant algebra for a subset of parameter values from which all parameter values can be obtained by integral translations. We also specify the exact parameter values for which this isomorphism occurs. Furthermore, we determine the action of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra on $P_{\text{KZ}}$ for these parameter values, thereby giving a complete algebraic description of th…
We study equivalences for category O_p of the rational Cherednik algebras H_p of type G_l(n) = μ_l^n\rtimes S_n: a highest weight equivalence between O_p and O_{σ(p)} for σ\in S_l and an action of S_l on a non-empty Zariski open set of parameters p; a derived equivalence between O_p and O_{p'} whenever p and p' have integral difference; a highest weight equivalence between O_p and a parabolic category O for the general linear group, under a non-rationality assumption on the parameter p. As a consequence, we confirm special cases of conjectures of Etingof and of Rouquier.
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.
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.
This paper contains the decomposition matrices for blocks of defect at most $2$ in Category $\mathcal{O}_c(W)$ of the rational Cherednik algebra when $W=E_8$ or $F_4$ with equal parameters $c=1/d$, $d>2$ a regular number of $W$. A corollary of the result is a classification of the dimensions of support of the irreducible modules $L(τ)$ in $\mathcal{O}_{1/d}(W)$ except in the following cases: $W=E_8$, $d=4$ or $6$ and $L(τ)$ is in the principal block, or $d=2$ or $3$; $W=F_4$, $d=2$. In particular, this classifies the finite-dimensional modules of $H_c(E_8)$ when $d\neq 2,3,4,6$.
In this paper we prove the existence of the Dunkl weight function $K_{c, λ}$ for any irreducible representation $λ$ of any finite Coxeter group $W$, generalizing previous results of Dunkl. In particular, $K_{c, λ}$ is a family of tempered distributions on the real reflection representation of $W$ taking values in $\text{End}_\mathbb{C}(λ)$, with holomorphic dependence on the complex multi-parameter $c$. When the parameter $c$ is real, the distribution $K_{c, λ}$ provides an integral formula for Cherednik's Gaussian inner product $γ_{c, λ}$ on the Verma module $Δ_c(λ)$ for the rational Cheredni…
Let W be a complex reflection group and H_c(W) the Rational Cherednik algebra for $W$ depending on a parameter c. One can consider the category O for H_c(W). We prove a conjecture of Rouquier that the categories O for H_c(W) and H_{c'}(W) are derived equivalent provided the parameters c,c' have integral difference. Two main ingredients of the proof are a connection between the Ringel duality and Harish-Chandra bimodules and an analog of a deformation technique developed by the author and Bezrukavnikov. We also show that some of the derived equivalences we construct are perverse.
Let $W$ be a complex reflection group of the form $G(l,1,n)$. Following [BK12, BPW12, Gor06, GS05, GS06, KR08, MN11], the theory of deform quantising conical symplectic resolutions allows one to study the category of modules for the spherical Cherednik algebra, $U_\textbf{c}(W)$, via a functor, $\mathbb T_{\textbf{c},θ}$, which takes invariant global sections of certain twisted sheaves on some Nakajima quiver variety $Y_θ$. A parameter for the Cherednik algebra, $\textbf{c}$, is considered `good' if there exists a choice of GIT parameter $θ$, such that $\mathbb T_{\textbf{c},θ}$ is exact and `…
We study a family of abelian categories O_{c, t} depending on complex parameters c, t which are interpolations of the O-category for the rational Cherednik algebra H_c(t) of type A, where t is a positive integer. We define the notion of a Verma object in such a category (a natural analogue of the notion of Verma module). We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for the existence of a non-trivial morphism between two such Verma objects. We also compute the character of the irreducible quotient of a Verma object for sufficiently generic values of parameters c, t, and prov…
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.
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.
We introduce the local and global indices of Dirac operators for the rational Cherednik algebra $\mathsf{H}_{t,c}(G,\mathfrak{h})$, where $G$ is a complex reflection group acting on a finite-dimensional vector space $\mathfrak{h}$. We investigate precise relations between the (local) Dirac index of a simple module in the category $\mathcal{O}$ of $\mathsf{H}_{t,c}(G,\mathfrak{h})$, the graded $G$-character of the module, the Euler-Poincaré pairing, and the composition series polynomials for standard modules. In the global theory, we introduce integral-reflection modules for $\mathsf{H}_{t,c}(G…
We construct a quotient ring of the ring of diagonal coinvariants of the complex reflection group $W=G(m,p,n)$ and determine its graded character. This generalises a result of Gordon for Coxeter groups. The proof uses a study of category $\cO$ for the rational Cherednik algebra of $W$.
We determine the support of the irreducible spherical representation (i.e., the irreducible quotient of the polynomial representation) of the rational Cherednik algebra of a finite Coxeter group for any value of the parameter c. In particular, we determine for which values of c this representation is finite dimensional. This generalizes a result of Varagnolo and Vasserot, arXiv:0705.2691, who classified finite dimensional spherical representations in the case of Weyl groups and equal parameters (i.e., when c is a constant function). As an application, we compute the zero set of the kernel of t…
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…
We apply the Dunkl-Opdam operators and generalized Jack polynomials to study category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of type G(r,1,n). We determine the set of aspherical values, and answer a question of Iain Gordon on the ordering of category O.
We determine the structure of category $\cO$ for the rational Cherednik algebra of $G(m,1,n)$ in the case where the $\KZ$ functor satisfies a condition called \emph{separating simples}. As a consequence, we show that the property of having exactly $N-1$ simple modules, where $N$ is the number of simple modules of $G(m,1,n)$, determines the Ariki-Koike algebra up to isomorphism.
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.
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).
Following the work of Kashiwara-Rouquier and Gan-Ginzburg, we define a family of exact functors from category $\mathcal O$ for the rational Cherednik algebra in type $A$ to representations of certain "coloured braid groups" and calculate the dimensions of the representations thus obtained from standard modules. To show that our constructions also make sense in a more general context, we also briefly study the case of the rational Cherednik algebra corresponding to complex reflection group $\mathbb Z/l\mathbb Z$.
We conjecture that the "nilpotent points" of Calogero-Moser space for reflection groups are parametrised naturally by the two-sided cells of the group with unequal parameters. The nilpotent points correspond to blocks of restricted Cherednik algebras and we describe these blocks in the case G(m,1,n) and show that in type B our description produces an existing conjectural description of two-sided cells.
