We introduce an infinite-dimensional affine group and construct its irreducible unitary representation. Our approach follows the one used by Vershik, Gelfand and Graev for the diffeomorphism group, but with modifications made necessary by the fact that the group does not act on the phase space. However it is possible to define its action on some classes of functions.
We introduce an infinite-dimensional $p$-adic affine group and construct its irreducible unitary representation. Our approach follows the one used by Vershik, Gelfand and Graev for the diffeomorphism group, but with modifications made necessary by the fact that the group does not act on the phase space. However it is possible to define its action on some classes of functions.
We introduce and study the so-called serpentine representations of the infinite symmetric group $\sinf$, which turn out to be closely related to the basic representation of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2}$ and representations of the Virasoro algebra. This is a new version of the manuscript of the same authors "On a relation between the basic representation of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat\sl$ and a Schur--Weyl representation of the infinite symmetric group" (arXiv:1403.1558)
We prove that there is a natural grading-preserving isomorphism of $\sl$-modules between the basic module of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat\sl$ (with the homogeneous grading) and a Schur--Weyl module of the infinite symmetric group $\sinf$ with a grading defined through the combinatorial notion of the major index of a Young tableau, and study the properties of this isomorphism. The results reveal new and deep interrelations between the representation theory of $\widehat\sl$ and the Virasoro algebra on the one hand, and the representation theory of $\sinf$ and the related combinatorics on the…
For an infinite Coxeter system, one can extend the weak right order to the set of infinite reduced words. This is called limit weak order. In [Transformation Groups 18(1), 2013, 179-231], Lam and Pylyavskyy showed that for affine Weyl groups of type $\widetilde{A}_n$ minimal infinite reduced words under the limit weak order are precisely those infinite Coxeter elements and asked the question of characterization, in terms of infinite reduced words, of the minimal elements of the limit weak order for other affine types. In this paper, we answer this question by characterizing the minimal infinit…
In this paper, we investigate various properties of strong and weak twisted Bruhat orders on a Coxeter group. In particular, we prove that any twisted strong Bruhat order on an affine Weyl group is locally finite, strengthening a result of Dyer in J. Algebra, 163, 861--879 (1994). We also show that for a non-finite and non-cofinite biclosed set $B$ in the positive system of an affine root system with rank greater than 2, the set of elements having a fixed $B$-twisted length is infinite. This implies that the twisted strong and weak Bruhat orders have an infinite antichain in those cases. Final…
In this article, we explain the main philosophy of 2-representation theory and quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality. The Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras play a central role in both themes.
We initiate the representation theory of the degenerate affine periplectic Brauer algebra on $n$ strands by constructing its finite-dimensional calibrated representations when $n=2$. We show that any such representation that is indecomposable and does not factor through a representation of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra occurs as an extension of two semisimple representations with one-dimensional composition factors; and furthermore, we classify such representations with regular eigenvalues up to isomorphism.
We explore the modular representation theory of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras. We provide an equivalence between the category of finite dimensional representations of the affine (resp. cyclotomic) Yokonuma-Hecke algebra and that of an algebra which is a direct sum of tensor products of affine Hecke algebras of type $A$ (resp. Ariki-Koike algebras). As one of the applications, the irreducible representations of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras are classified over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. Secondly, the modular branching rules for these alg…
In this paper, we study the relation between the cocenter and the representation theory of affine Hecke algebras. The approach is based on the interaction between the rigid cocenter, an important subspace of the cocenter, and the dual object in representation theory, the rigid quotient of the Grothendieck group of finite dimensional representations.
We introduce semi-infinite Lakshmibai-Seshadri paths by using the semi-infinite Bruhat order (or equivalently, Lusztig's generic Bruhat order) on affine Weyl groups in place of the usual Bruhat order. These paths enable us to give an explicit realization of the crystal basis of an extremal weight module of an arbitrary level-zero dominant integral extremal weight over a quantum affine algebra. This result can be thought of as a full generalization of our previous result (which uses Littelmann's Lakshmibai-Seshadri paths), in which the level-zero dominant integral weight is assumed to be a posi…
This paper has two main purposes. Firstly we generalise Ram's explicit construction of calibrated representations of the affine Hecke algebra to the multi-parameter case (including the non-reduced $BC_n$ case). We then derive the Plancherel formulae for all rank~1 and rank~2 affine Hecke algebras including a construction of all representations involved (following work of Opdam).
We use induction from parabolic subalgebras with infinite-dimensional Levi factor to construct new families of irreducible representations for arbitrary Affine Kac-Moody algebra. Our first construction defines a functor from the category of Whittaker modules over the Levi factor of a parabolic subalgebra to the category of modules over the Affine Lie algebra. The second functor sends tensor products of a module over the affine part of the Levi factor (in particular any weight module) and of a Whittaker module over the complement Heisenberg subalgebra to the Affine Lie algebra modules. Both fun…
Let G=GL(N), K=GL(p)xGL(q), where p+q=N, and n be a positive integer. We construct a functor from the category of Harish-Chandra modules for the pair (G,K) to the category of representations of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra of type B_n, and a functor from the category of K-monodromic twisted D-modules on G/K to the category of representations of the degenerate double affine Hecke algebra of type BC_n; the second functor is an extension of the first one. These functors are generalizations of the type A functors from q-alg/9710037 and math/0702670, respectively.
In this paper, we establish a bijection between the infinite reduced words of an affine Weyl group and certain biclosed sets of its positive system and determine all finitely generated biclosed sets in the positive system of an affine Weyl group. Using these results, we show first that the biclosed sets in the standard positive system of rank 3 affine Weyl groups when ordered by inclusion form a complete algebraic ortholattice and secondly that the (generalized) braid graphs of those Coxeter groups are connected, which can be thought of as an infinite version of Tit's solution to the word prob…
We show that the representation theory for the toroidal extended affine Lie algebras is controlled by a vertex operator algebra which is a tensor product of four VOAs: a sub-VOA of the hyperbolic lattice VOA, two affine VOAs and a Virasoro VOA. A tensor product of irreducible modules for these VOAs admits the structure of an irreducible module for the toroidal extended affine Lie algebra. We also show that for N=12, the sub-VOA of the hyperbolic lattice VOA becomes an exceptional irreducible module for the extended affine Lie algebra of rank 0.
In this paper, we classify the irreducible integrable modules with finite dimensional weight spaces and non-trivial $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}_c$-action for the nullity $2$ toroidal extended affine Lie algebra $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}$, where $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}_c$ is the core of $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}$.
We initiate the study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties with arbitrarily deep level structure for general reductive groups over local fields. We prove that for GLn and its inner forms, Lusztig's semi-infinite Deligne-Lusztig construction is isomorphic to an affine Deligne-Lusztig variety at infinite level. We prove that their homology groups give geometric realizations of the local Langlands and Jacquet--Langlands correspondences in the setting that the Weil parameter is induced from a character of an unramified field extension. In particular, we resolve Lusztig's 1979 conjecture in this set…
Inspired by the work [Ra1], we directly give a complete classification of irreducible calibrated representations of affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras $\widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ over $\mathbb{C},$ which are indexed by $r$-tuples of placed skew shapes. We then develop several applications of this result. In the appendix, inspired by [Ru], we classify and construct irreducible completely splittable representations of degenerate affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras $D_{r,n}$ and the wreath product $(\mathbb{Z}/r\mathbb{Z})\wr \mathfrak{S}_{n}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p> 0$ such th…
In this paper, we study the relation between the cocenter $\overline{\tilde \ch_0}$ and the finite dimensional representations of an affine $0$-Hecke algebra $\tilde \ch_0$. As a consequence, we obtain a new criterion on the supersingular modules: a (virtual) module of $\tilde \ch_0$ is supersingular if and only if its character vanishes on the non-supersingular part of $\overline{\tilde \ch_0}$.
We prove that semi-infinite Bruhat order on an affine Weyl group is completely determined from those on the quotients by affine Weyl subgroups associated with various maximal (standard) parabolic subgroups of finite type. Furthermore, for an affine Weyl group of classical type, we give a complete classification of all cover relations of semi-infinite Bruhat order (or equivalently, all edges of the quantum Bruhat graphs) on the quotients in terms of tableaux. Combining these we obtain a tableau criterion for semi-infinite Bruhat order on an affine Weyl group of classical type. As an application…
The goal of this work is to construct a perverse t-structure on the infinity-category of l-adic LG-equivariant sheaves on the loop Lie algebra Lg and to show that the affine Grothendieck-Springer sheaf S is perverse. Moreover, S is an intermediate extension of its restriction to the locus of ``compact" elements with regular semi-simple reduction. Note that classical methods do not apply in our situation because LG and Lg are infinite-dimensional ind-schemes.
Using Lakshmibai-Seshadri paths, we give a combinatorial realization of the crystal basis of an extremal weight module of integral extremal weight over the quantized universal enveloping algebra associated to the infinite rank affine Lie algebra of type $B_{\infty}$, $C_{\infty}$, or $D_{\infty}$. Moreover, via this realization, we obtain an explicit description (in terms of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients) of how tensor products of these crystal bases decompose into connected components when their extremal weights are of nonnegative levels. These results, in types $B_{\infty}$, $C_{\infty}…
In this paper we present Affine.m - program for computations in representation theory of finite-dimensional and affine Lie algebras and describe implemented algorithms. Algorithms are based upon the properties of weights and Weyl symmetry. The most important problems for us are the ones, concerning computation of weight multiplicities in irreducible and Verma modules, branching of representations and tensor product decomposition. These problems have numerous applications in physics and we provide some examples of these applications. The program is implemented in popular computer algebra system…
We develop the homological theory of KLR algebras of symmetric affine type. For each PBW basis, a family of standard modules is constructed which categorifies the PBW basis.
We construct 2-representations of quantum affine algebras from 2-representations of quantum Heisenberg algebras. The main tool in this construction are categorical vertex operators, which are certain complexes in a Heisenberg 2-representation that recover vertex operators after passing to the Grothendieck group. As an application we categorify the Frenkel-Kac-Segal homogeneous realization of the basic representation of (simply laced) quantum affine algebras. This gives rise to categorical actions of quantum affine (and toroidal) algebras on derived categories of coherent sheaves on Hilbert sch…
Let Uq(g) be the quantum affine superalgebra associated with an affine Kac-Moody superalgebra g which belongs to the three series osp(1|2n)^(1),sl(1|2n)^(2) and osp(2|2n)^(2). We develop vertex operator constructions for the level 1 irreducible integrable highest weight representations and classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations of Uq(g). This makes essential use of the Drinfeld realisation for Uq(g), and quantum correspondences between affine Kac-Moody superalgebras, developed in earlier papers.
In this paper, we will fully describe the representations of the crystallographic rank two affine Hecke algebras using elementary methods, for all possible values of q. The focus is on the case when q is a root of unity of small order.
We construct a new family of irreducible modules over any basic classical affine Kac-Moody Lie superalgebra which are induced from modules over the Heisenberg subalgebra. We also obtain irreducible deformations of these modules for the quantum affine superalgebra of type A.
This paper studies affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in the affine flag manifold of GL_2. At first we determine all such varieties up to isomorphy. After this we investigate the representations of the sigma-stabilizer of an element b of the group on the etale cohomology of the affine Deligne-Lusztig variety X_w(b). We describe such representations as inductions from compact subgroups and in terms of noncuspidal representations.
We study the classical limit of a family of irreducible representations of the quantum affine algebra associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$. After a suitable twist, the limit is a module for $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}[t]$, i.e., for the maximal standard parabolic subalgebra of the affine Lie algebra. Our first result is about the family of prime representations introduced in the context of a monoidal categorification of cluster algebras. We show that these representations specialize (after twisting), to $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}[t]$--stable, prime Demazure modules in level two integrable highest weight rep…
We study the connection between the category of modules over the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra at the critical level, and the category of D-modules on the affine flag scheme G((t))/I, where I is the Iwahori subgroup. We prove a localization-type result, which establishes an equivalence between certain subcategories on both sides. We also establish an equivalence between a certain subcategory of Kac-Moody modules, and the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the scheme of Miura opers for the Langlands dual group, thereby proving a conjecture of [FG2].
We conjecture an explicit bound on the prime characteristic of a field, under which the Weyl modules of affine $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and the minimal series modules of Virasoro algebra remain irreducible, and Goddard-Kent-Olive coset construction for affine $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ is valid.
