On factorization of matrix of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials
Abstract
Let be the Hecke algebra of the Coxeter system over , where is the Weyl group of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra. In this paper, we show that the matrix of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of factorizes into a product of many matrices, each of which has entries as polynomials in with nonnegative coefficients. To achieve this goal, we use hybrid basis for of , defined by Grojnowski-Haiman. The intermediate matrices in the aforementioned factorization turn out to be the transition matrices from -basis to -basis for . Equivalently, these coefficients can be computed using a natural restriction map from to the parabolic Hecke algebra . Moreover, following the ideas from Grojnowski-Haiman, we also give a geometric proof of the positivity of these coefficients.
