In 1979, Kazhdan and Lusztig introduced the notion of "cells" (left, right and two-sided) for a Coxeter group $W$, a concept with numerous applications in Lie theory and around. Here, we address algorithmic aspects of this theory for finite…
The purpose of this article is to shed new light on the combinatorial structure of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in infinite Coxeter groups $W$. Our main focus is the set $\D$ of distinguished involutions in $W$, which was introduced by Lusztig in…
Let W be a Coxeter group and L be a weight function on W. Following Lusztig, we have a corresponding decomposition of W into left cells, which have important applications in representation theory. We study the case where $W$ is an affine…
Following Lusztig, we consider a Coxeter group $W$ together with a weight function $L$. This gives rise to the pre-order relation $\leq_{L}$ and the corresponding partition of $W$ into left cells. We introduce an equivalence relation on…
Kazhdan and Lusztig have shown that the partition of the symmetric group of degree $n$ into left cells is given by the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. The aim of this paper is to provide a similar description of the left cells in type…
We examine the partition of a finite Coxeter group of type $B$ into cells determined by a weight function $L$. The main objective of these notes is to reconcile Lusztig's description of constructible representations in this setting with…
In this paper, we study the Kazhdan--Lusztig cells of a Coxeter group $W$ in a ``relative'' setting, with respect to a parabolic subgroup $W_I \subseteq W$. This relies on a factorization of the Kazhdan--Lusztig basis $\{C_w\}$ of the…
In 1979, Kazhdan and Lusztig developed a combinatorial theory associated with Coxeter groups. They defined in particular partitions of the group in left and two-sided cells. In 1983, Lusztig generalized this theory to Hecke algebras of…
We consider two families of equivalence classes in the Weyl groups of type $B_n$ which are suggested by the study of left cells in unequal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebras. Both families are indexed by a non-negative integer $r$. For $r=0$,…
Using a characterization of a generalized $\tau$-invariant for intermediate parameter Hecke algebras in type $B_n$, we verify a conjectural description of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in this setting due to C. Bonnaf\'e, L. Iancu, M. Geck, and T.…
In this paper, we study Lusztig's $a$-function for a Coxeter group with unequal parameters. We determine that function explicitly in the ``asymptotic case'' in type $B_n$, where the left cells have been determined in terms of a generalized…
Soergel bimodule category B is a categorification of the Hecke algebra of a Coxeter system (W,S). We find a presentation of B (as a tensor category) by generators and relations when W is a right-angled Coxeter group.
We consider the set $\Irr(W)$ of (complex) irreducible characters of a finite Coxeter group $W$. The Kazhdan--Lusztig theory of cells gives rise to a partition of $\Irr(W)$ into "families" and to a natural partial order $\leq_{\cLR}$ on…
Let (W, S) be a Coxeter system. A W-graph is an encoding of a representation of the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. Especially important examples include the W-graph corresponding to the action of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra on the…
We study Kazhdan-Lusztig cells and the corresponding representations of right-angled Coxeter groups and Hecke algebras associated to them. In case of the infinite groups generated by reflections in the hyperbolic plane about the sides of…
Based on empirical evidence obtained using the {\sf CHEVIE} computer algebra system, we present a series of conjectures concerning the combinatorial description of the Kazhdan--Lusztig cells for type $B_n$ with unequal parameters. These…
In "W-graph ideals" (Robert B. Howlett and Van Minh Nguyen) the concept of a W-graph ideal in a Coxeter group was introduced, and it was shown how a W-graph can be constructed from a given W-graph ideal. In this paper, we describe a class…
We consider the partition of a finite Coxeter group $W$ into left cells with respect to a weight function $L$. In the equal parameter case, Lusztig has shown that the representations carried by the left cells are precisely the so-called…
We study 2-representations of finitary 2-categories with involution and adjunctions by functors on module categories over finite dimensional algebras. In particular, we define, construct and describe in detail (right) cell 2-representations…
We describe an algorithm which pattern embeds, in the sense of Woo-Yong, any Bruhat interval of a symmetric group into an interval whose extremes lie in the same right Kazhdan-Lusztig cell. This apparently harmless fact has applications in…
