A generating function for the trace of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra

Representation Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The Iwahori-Hecke algebra has a ``natural'' trace τ\tau. This trace is the evaluation at the identity element in the usual interpretation of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra as a sub-algebra of the convolution algebra of a p-adic semi-simple group. The Iwahori-Hecke algebra contains an important commutative sub-algebra C[θx]{\bf C}[\theta_x], that was described and studied by Bernstein, Zelevinski and Lusztig. In this note we compute the generating function for the value of τ\tau on the basis θx\theta_x.
