The determination of the density functions for products of random elements from specified classes of matrices is a basic problem in random matrix theory and is also of interest in theoretical physics. For connected simple Lie groups of $2\times 2$ matrices and conjugacy and spherical classes a complete solution is given here. The problem/solution can be re-stated in terms of the structure of certain Hecke algebras attached to groups of $2\times 2$ matrices.
We classify all the decomposition matrices of the generic Hecke algebras on 3 strands in characteristic 0. These are the generic Hecke algebras associated to the exceptional complex reflection groups $G_4$, $G_8$ and $G_{16}$. We prove that for every choice of the parameters that define these algebras, all ordinary representations are obtained as modular reductions of irreducible representations.
We introduce the notion of affinizations and R-matrices for arbitrary quiver Hekcke algebras. We show that they enjoy similar properties to those for symmetric quiver Hecke algebras. We next define the notion of a duality datum and construct a tensor functor between graded module categories of two quiver Hecke algebras. We give several examples of such functors .
A $q$-analogue of combinatorics concerning the Cartan matrix for the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type $A$ is investigated. We give several descriptions for the determinant of the graded Cartan matrix, which imply some combinatorial identities. A conjectural expression for the elementary divisors is also presented.
In this paper, we look at the problem of determining the composition factors for the affine graded Hecke algebra via the computation of Kazhdan-Lusztig type polynomials. We review the algorithms of \cite{L1,L2}, and use them in particular to compute, at every real central character which admits tempered modules, the geometric parameterization, the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, the composition series, and the Iwahori-Matsumoto involution for the representations with Iwahori fixed vectors of the split $p$-adic groups of type $G_2$ and $F_4$.
We give an explicit criterion for the irreducibility of some induction products of evaluation modules of affine Hecke algebras of type A. This allows to describe the form of the singularities of the trigonometric R-matrix associated to any evaluation module of U_v(sl^_N).
James's Conjecture predicts that the adjustment matrix for blocks of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group is the identity matrix when the weight of the block is strictly less than the characteristic of the field. In this paper, we consider the case when the characteristic of the field is greater than or equal to 5, and prove that the adjustment matrix for the principal block of $\mathcal{H}_{5e}$ is the identity matrix whenever $e\neq4$. When $e=4$, we are able to calculate all but two entries of the adjustment matrix.
Let $\CC^0_{\g}$ be the category of finite-dimensional integrable modules over the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}'(\g)$ and let $R^{A_\infty}\gmod$ denote the category of finite-dimensional graded modules over the quiver Hecke algebra of type $A_{\infty}$. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the categories $\CC^0_{A_{N-1}^{(1)}}$ and $\CC^0_{A_{N-1}^{(2)}}$ by constructing the generalized quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality functors $\F^{(t)}$ from $R^{A_\infty}\gmod$ to $\CC^0_{A_{N-1}^{(t)}}$ $(t=1,2)$.
We consider graded Cartan matrices of the symmetric groups and the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A, which have entries in the ring $\mathbb Z[v,v^{-1}]$. These matrices may also be interpreted as Gram matrices of the Shapovalov form on sums of weight spaces of a basic representation of an affine quantum group. We present a conjecture predicting the invariant factors of these matrices and give evidence for the conjecture by proving its implications under a localization and certain specializations of the ring $\mathbb Z[v,v^{-1}]$. This proves and generalizes a conjecture of Ando-Suzuki-Yamada …
This paper gives a general algorithm for computing the character table of any Renner monoid Hecke algebra, by adapting and generalizing techniques of Solomon used to study the rook monoid. The character table of the Hecke algebra of the rook monoid (i.e., the Cartan type $A$ Renner monoid) was computed earlier by Dieng, Halverson, and Poladian using different methods. Our approach uses analogues of so-called A- and B-matrices of Solomon. In addition to the algorithm, we give explicit combinatorial formulas for the A- and B-matrices in Cartan type $C$ and use them to obtain an explicit descript…
We give a classification of the simple modules for the cyclotomic Hecke algebras over $\mathbb{C}$ in the modular case. We use the unitriangular shape of the decomposition matrices of Ariki-Koike algebras and Clifford theory.
Let $\g$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra of type $A^{(1)}_n$ $(n \ge 1)$ or $D^{(1)}_n$ $(n \ge 4)$ and let $\g_0$ be the underlying finite-dimensional simple Lie subalgebra of $\g$. For each Dynkin quiver $Q$ of type $\g_0$, Hernandez and Leclerc (\cite{HL11}) introduced a tensor subcategory $\CC_Q$ of the category of finite-dimensional integrable $\uqpg$-modules and proved that the Grothendieck ring of $\CC_Q$ is isomorphic to $\C [N]$, the coordinate ring of the unipotent group $N$ associated with $\g_0$. We apply the generalized quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality introduced in \cit…
We present a new framework for a broad class of affine Hecke algebra modules, and show that such modules arise in a number of settings involving representations of $p$-adic groups and $R$-matrices for quantum groups. Instances of such modules arise from (possibly non-unique) functionals on $p$-adic groups and their metaplectic covers, such as the Whittaker functionals. As a byproduct, we obtain new, algebraic proofs of a number of results concerning metaplectic Whittaker functions. These are thus expressed in terms of metaplectic versions of Demazure operators, which are built out of $R$-matri…
Let $U'_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be a twisted affine quantum group of type $A_{N}^{(2)}$ or $D_{N}^{(2)}$ and let $\mathfrak{g}_{0}$ be the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra of type $A_{N}$ or $D_{N}$. For a Dynkin quiver of type $\mathfrak{g}_{0}$, we define a full subcategory ${\mathcal C}_{Q}^{(2)}$ of the category of finite-dimensional integrable $U'_q(\mathfrak{g})$-modules, a twisted version of the category ${\mathcal C}_{Q}$ introduced by Hernandez and Leclerc. Applying the general scheme of affine Schur-Weyl duality, we construct an exact faithful KLR-type duality functor ${\mathcal F}_{Q}…
In this paper, we investigate a connection between convolution products for quiver Hecke algebras and tensor products for quantum groups. We give a categorification of the natural projection $ π_{λ, μ} : V_{\mathbb{A}}(λ)^\vee \otimes_{\mathbb{A}} V_\mathbb{A}(μ)^\vee \twoheadrightarrow V_\mathbb{A}(λ+ μ)^\vee $ sending the tensor product of the highest weight vectors to the highest weight vector in terms of convolution products. When the quiver Hecke algebra is symmetric and the base field is of characteristic $0$, we obtain a positivity condition on some coefficients associated with the proj…
We show the q-analog of a well-known result of Farahat and Higman: in the center of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra $H_{n,q}$, if $(a_{λμ}^ν(n,q))_ν$ is the set of structure constants involved in the product of two Geck-Rouquier conjugacy classes $Γ_{λ,n}$ and $Γ_{μ,n}$, then each coefficient $a_{λμ}^ν(n,q)$ depends on $n$ and $q$ in a polynomial way. Our proof relies on the construction of a projective limit of the Hecke algebras; this projective limit is inspired by the Ivanov-Kerov algebra of partial permutations.
We establish bounds for the representation dimension of skew group algebras and wreath products. Using this, we obtain bounds for the representation dimension of a block of a Hecke algebra of type A, in terms of the weight of the block. This includes certain blocks of group algebras of symmetric groups.
We point out that the Homfly polynomial (that is to say, Ocneanu's trace functional) contains two polynomial-valued inner products on the Hecke algebra representation of Artin's braid group. These bear a close connection to the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality. In these structures, the sets of positive, respectively negative permutation braids become orthonormal bases. In the second case, many inner products can be geometrically interpreted through Legendrian fronts and rulings.
We give explicit constructions of some finite-dimensional representations of generalized double affine Hecke algebras (GDAHA) of higher rank using $R$-matrices for $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_N)$. Our construction is motivated by an analogous construction of Silvia Montarani in the rational case. Using the Drinfeld-Kohno theorem for Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov differential equations, we prove that the explicit representations we produce correspond to Montarani's representations under a monodromy functor introduced by Etingof, Gan, and Oblomkov.
Generalizing the centralizer construction of Molev and Olshanski on symmetric groups, we study the structures of the centralizer $\mZ_{m,n}$ of the wreath product $G_{n-m}$ in the group algebra of $G_n$ for any $n\geq m$. We establish the connection between $\mZ_{m,n}$ and a generalization of degenerate affine Hecke algebras introduced in our earlier work.
In the context of Hecke algebras of complex reflection groups, we prove that the generalized Hecke algebras of normalizers of parabolic subgroups are semidirect products, under suitable conditions on the parameters involved in their definition.
Let $J$ be a set of pairs consisting of good modules over an affine quantum algebra and invertible elements. The distribution of poles of the normalized R-matrices yields Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras $R^J$. We define a functor $F$ from the category $S_J$ of finite-dimensional graded $R^J$-modules to the category of finite-dimensional integrable $U_q(g)$-modules. The functor $F$ sends convolution products of $R^J$-modules to tensor products of $U_q(g)$-modules. It is exact if $R^J$ is of finite type A,D,E. When $J$ is the vector representation of $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$, we recover the affine Schur…
We derive a formula for the entries in the change-of-basis matrix between Young's seminormal and natural representations of the symmetric group. These entries are determined as sums over weighted paths in the weak Bruhat graph on standard tableaux, and we show that they can be computed recursively as the weighted sum of at most two previously-computed entries in the matrix. We generalize our results to work for affine Hecke algebras, Ariki-Koike algebras, Iwahori-Hecke algebras, and complex reflection groups given by the wreath product of a finite cyclic group with the symmetric group.
In this paper we construct an analogue of Iwahori-Hecke algebras of SL_2 over 2-dimensional local fields. After considering coset decompositions of double cosets of a Iwahori subgroup, we define a convolution product on the space of certain functions on SL_2, and prove that the product is well-defined. Then we investigate the structure of the Hecke algebra. We determine the center of the Hecke algebra and consider Iwahori-Matsumoto type relations.
We describe an algorithm for computing the $p$-canonical basis of the Hecke algebra, or one of its antispherical modules. The algorithm does not operate in the Hecke category directly, but rather uses a faithful embedding of the Hecke category inside a semisimple category to build a "model" for indecomposable objects and bases of their morphism spaces. Inside this semisimple category, objects are sequences of Coxeter group elements, and morphisms are (sparse) matrices over a fraction field, making it quite amenable to computations. This strategy works for the full Hecke category over any base …
The purpose of this paper is to study induction and restriction of two-variable Hecke algebras. First, we provide the explicit form of the Mackey decomposition formula. And then, we elucidate how (anti-)involutions interact with induction product and restriction.
A representation of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra BW_{t}(-q^{2n},q) exists in the centraliser algebra End_{U_q(osp(1|2n))}(V^{\otimes t}), where V is the fundamental (2n+1)-dimensional irreducible U_{q}(osp(1|2n))-module. This representation is defined using permuted R-matrices acting on V^{\otimes t}. A complete set of projections onto and intertwiners between irreducible U_{q}(osp(1|2n))-summands of V^{\otimes t} exists via this representation, proving that End_{U_q(osp(1|2n))}V^{\otimes t}) is generated by the set of permuting R-matrices acting on V^{\otimes t}. We also show that a repr…
The paper studies the modular representation theory of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $G(r,p,n)$ with $(\eps,q)$-separated parameters. We show that the decomposition numbers of these algebras are completely determined by the decomposition matrices of related cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $G(s,1,m)$, where $1\le s\le r$ and $1\le m\le n$. Furthermore, the proof gives an explicit algorithm for computing these decomposition numbers. Consequently, in principle, the decomposition matrices of these algebras are now known in characteristic zero. In proving these results, we develop a Spech…
We generalize graded Hecke algebras to include a twisting two-cocycle for the associated finite group. We give examples where the parameter spaces of the resulting twisted graded Hecke algebras are larger than that of the graded Hecke algebras. We prove that twisted graded Hecke algebras are particular types of deformations of a crossed product.
We prove that irreducible representations of the elliptic affine Hecke algebras of Ginzburg, Kapranov, and Vasserot are in one-to-one correspondence with certain nilpotent Higgs bundles on the elliptic curve. The main tool we use is the equivariant elliptic cohomology of the Steinberg variety of the Springer resolution. As a by-product, we study representations at roots of unity in type-$A$. As another by-product, we define a version of elliptic Demazure-Lusztig operators with dynamical parameters that satisfy the braid relations. We discuss speculative indications of this correspondence in 4d…
We study a twisted Euler-Poincaré pairing for graded affine Hecke algebras, and give a precise connection to the twisted elliptic pairing of Weyl groups defined by Ciubotaru-He. The Ext-groups for an interesting class of parabolically induced modules are also studied in a connection with the twisted Euler-Poincaré pairing. We also study a certain space of graded Hecke algebra modules which equips with the twisted Euler-Poincaré pairing as an inner product.
We calculate all decomposition matrices of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of the rank 2 exceptional complex reflection groups in characteristic 0. We prove the existence of canonical basic sets in the sense of Geck-Rouquier and show that all modular irreducible representations can be lifted to the ordinary ones.
The Hecke algebras $\mathcal{H}_{n,k}$ of the group pairs $(S_{kn}, S_k\wr S_n)$ can be endowed with a filtration with respect to the orbit structures of the elements of $S_{kn}$ relative to the action of $S_{kn}$ on the set of $k$-partitions of $\{1,\dots,kn\}$. We prove that the structure constants of the associated filtered algebra $\mathcal{F}_{n,k} $ is independent of $n$. The stability property enables the construction of a universal algebra $\mathcal{F}$ to govern the algebras $\mathcal{F}_{n,k}$. We also prove that the structure constants of the algebras $\mathcal{H}_{n,k}$ are polynom…
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) with arbitrary positive parameters and we prove an explicit product formula for their formal degrees (in all cases).
After reformulating the representation theory of 0-Hecke algebras in an appropriate family of Yang-Baxter bases, we investigate certain specializations of the Ariki-Koike algebras, obtained by setting q=0 in a suitably normalized version of Shoji's presentation. We classify the simple and projective modules, and describe restrictions, induction products, Cartan invariants and decomposition matrices. This allows us to identify the Grothendieck rings of the towers of algebras in terms of certain graded Hopf algebras known as the Mantaci-Reutenauer descent algebras, and Poirier quasi-symmetric fu…
In this paper we give a version of Bergman's diamond lemma which applies to certain monoidal categories presented by generators and relations. In particular, it applies to: the Coxeter presentation of the symmetric groups, the quiver Hecke algebras of Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier, the Webster tensor product algebras, and various generalizations of these. We also give an extension of Manin-Schechtmann theory to non-reduced expressions.
We introduce the notions of quasi-Laurent and Laurent families of simple modules over quiver Hecke algebras of arbitrary symmetrizable types. We prove that such a family plays a similar role of a cluster in the quantum cluster algebra theory and exhibits a quantum Laurent positivity phenomenon for the basis of the quantum unipotent coordinate ring $\mathcal{A}_q(\mathfrak{n}(w))$, coming from the categorification. Then we show that the families of simple modules categorifying GLS-clusters are Laurent families by using the PBW-decomposition vector of a simple module $X$ and categorical interpre…
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…
An inductive approach to the representation theory of cyclotomic Hecke algebras, inspired by Okounkov and Vershik, is developed. We study the common spectrum of the Jucys-Murphy elements using representations of the simplest affine Hecke algebra. Representations are constructed with the help of a new associative algebra whose underlying vector space is the tensor product of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra with the free associative algebra generated by standard m-tableaux.
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…
Hecke operators relate characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) with different central charges, and extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of modular representations and fusion algebras. We show that the conductor $N$ of a RCFT and the quadratic residues mod $N$ play an important role in the computation and classification of Galois permutations. We establish a field correspondence in different theories through the picture of effective central charge, which combines Galois inner automorphisms and the structure of simple currents. We then make a first attempt to extend Heck…
Let X be the group of weights of a maximal torus of a simply connected semisimple group over C and let W be the Weyl group. The semidirect product W(Q\otimes X/X) is called the extended Weyl group. There is a natural C(v)-algebra H called the extended Hecke algebra with basis indexed by the extended Weyl group which contains the usual Hecke algebra as a subalgebra. We construct an H-module with basis indexed by the involutions in the extended Weyl group. This generalizes a construction of the author and D.Vogan.
We give a new construction of primitive idempotents of the Hecke algebras associated with the symmetric groups. The idempotents are found as evaluated products of certain rational functions thus providing a new version of the fusion procedure for the Hecke algebras. We show that the normalization factors which occur in the procedure are related to the Ocneanu--Markov trace of the idempotents.
We study the structure and representation theory of affine wreath product algebras and their cyclotomic quotients. These algebras, which appear naturally in Heisenberg categorification, simultaneously unify and generalize many important algebras appearing in the literature. In particular, special cases include degenerate affine Hecke algebras, affine Sergeev algebras (degenerate affine Hecke-Clifford algebras), and wreath Hecke algebras. In some cases, specializing the results of the current paper recovers known results, but with unified and simplified proofs. In other cases, we obtain new res…
We establish an explicit algebra isomorphism between the affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebra $\widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ and a direct sum of matrix algebras with coefficients in tensor products of affine Hecke algebras of type $A.$ As an application of this result, we show that $\widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ is affine cellular in the sense of Koenig and Xi, and further prove that it has finite global dimension when the parameter $q$ is not a root of the Poincaré polynomial. As another application, we also recover the modular representation theory of $\widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ previously obtained in [CW].

A complete system of primitive pairwise orthogonal idempotents for cyclotomic Hecke algebras is constructed by consecutive evaluations of a rational function in several variables on quantum contents of multi-tableaux. This function is a product of two terms, one of which depends only on the shape of the multi-tableau and is proportional to the inverse of the corresponding Schur element.
The infinite-dimensional Iwahori--Hecke algebras $\mathcal{H}_\infty(q)$ are direct limits of the usual finite-dimensional Iwahori--Hecke algebras. They arise in a natural way as convolution algebras of bi-invariant functions on groups $\mathrm{GLB}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ of infinite-dimensional matrices over finite-fields having only finite number of non-zero matrix elements under the diagonal. In 1988 Vershik and Kerov classified all indecomposable positive traces on $\mathcal{H}_\infty(q)$. Any such trace generates a representation of the double $\mathcal{H}_\infty(q)\otimes \mathcal{H}_\infty(q)$ …
Külshammer, Olsson and Robinson conjectured that a certain set of numbers determined the invariant factors of the $\ell$-Cartan matrix for $S_n$ (equivalently, the invariant factors of the Cartan matrix for the Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_n(q)$, where $q$ is a primitive $\ell$th root of unity). We call these invariant factors Cartan invariants. In a previous paper, the second author calculated these Cartan invariants when $\ell=p^r$, $p$ prime, and $r\leq p$ and went on to conjecture that the formulae should hold for all $r$. Another result was obtained, which is surprising and counteri…
