Abstract

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system and \ast an automorphism of WW with order 2\leq 2 and S=SS^{\ast}=S. Lusztig and Vogan ([11], [14]) have introduced a uu-deformed version MuM_u of Kottwitz's involution module over the Iwahori-Hecke algebra Hu(W)\mathscr{H}_{u}(W) with Hecke parameter u2u^2, where uu is an indeterminate. Lusztig has proved that MuM_u is isomorphic to the left Hu(W)\mathscr{H}_{u}(W)-submodule of H^u{\hat{\mathscr{H}}}_u generated by X:=w=wWu(w)TwX_{\emptyset}:=\sum_{w^*=w\in W}{u^{-\ell(w)}T_w}, where H^u{\hat{\mathscr{H}}}_u is the vector space consisting of all formal (possibly infinite) sums xWcxTx\sum_{x\in W}{c_xT_x} (cxQ(u)c_x\in\mathbb{Q}(u) for each xx). He speculated that one can extend this by replacing uu with any λC{0,1,1}\lambda\in \mathbb{C}\setminus\{0,1,-1\}. In this paper, we give a positive answer to his speculation for any λK{0,1,1}\lambda\in K\setminus\{0,1,-1\} and any WW, where KK is an arbitrary ground field.
