These are lecture notes prepared for London Mathematical Society Symposium "Quantum Groups" held in Durham 19-29 July 1999. We give a survey on cyclotomic Hecke algebras. These algebras have been studied by Dipper, James, Malle, Mathas and…

In this paper we investigate non-central elements of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group whose squares are central. In particular, we describe a commutative subalgebra generated by certain non-central square roots of central…

We construct central elements in a completion of the quantum affine algebra at the critical level c=-g from the universal R-matrix (g being the dual Coxeter number of the corresponding simple Lie algebra), using the method of Reshetikhin…

We give a combinatorial construction, not involving a presentation, of almost all untwisted affine Kac--Moody algebras modulo their one-dimensional centres in terms of signed raising and lowering operators on a certain distributive lattice…

For any finite reductive group, we compute the central elements in its Hecke algebra that arise from partial Springer resolutions via the Harish-Chandra transform. Of the two kinds of partial resolution, the larger is the more interesting…

The current article is a short survey on the theory of Hecke algebras, and in particular Kazhdan-Lusztig theory, and on the theory of symplectic reflection algebras, and in particular rational Cherednik algebras. The emphasis is on the…

We establish equivalences of derived categories of the following 3 categories: (1) Principal block of representations of the quantum at a root of 1; (2) G-equivariant coherent sheaves on the Springer resolution; (3) Perverse sheaves on the…

Let $H$ be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra and let $J$ be Lusztig's asymptotic Hecke algebra, both specialized to type $\tilde{A}_1$. For $\mathrm{SL}_2$, when the parameter $q$ is specialized to a prime power, Braverman and Kazhdan showed…

We construct a family of infinite-dimensional positive sub-coalgebras within the Grothendieck ring of Hecke algebras, when viewed as a Hopf algebra with respect to the induction and restriction functor. These sub-coalgebras have as…

We give a simple construction of Markov traces for Iwahori-Hecke algebras associated with infinite series of crystallographic Coxeter groups. In types B and D it is new, and generalizes a known construction in type A employing symmetric…

We give a purely combinatorial proof of the positivity of the stabilized forms of the generalized exponents associated to each classical root system. In finite type A_{n-1}, we rederive the description of the generalized exponents in terms…

The first half of this paper is largely expository, wherein we present a systematic combinatorial approach to the theory of polynomial (semi)invariants and multilinear invariants of several vectors and covectors, for the classical groups.…

Let G be a symplectic or orthogonal complex Lie group with Lie algebra g. As a G-module, the decomposition of the symmetric algebra S(g) into its irreducible components can be explicitely obtained by using identities due to Littlewood. We…

We introduce a class of polynomials that we call fused Specht polynomials and use them to characterize irreducible representations of the fused Hecke algebra with parameter $q=-1$ in the space of polynomials. We apply the fused Specht…

For any connected complex reductive group $G$ and element $z$ of its Weyl group $W$, we use work of Lusztig and Abreu-Nigro to compute the graded $W$-character of the intersection cohomology of any closed Lusztig variety for $z$ over the…

The Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group is the convolution algebra of $\gl_n$-invariant functions on the variety of pairs of complete flags over a finite field. Considering convolution on the space of triples of two flags and a…

The paper contains a systematic theory of the one-dimensional Double Hecke algebra, including applications to the difference Fourier transform, Macdonald's polynomials, Gaussian sums at roots of unity, and Verlinde algebras. The main result…

Let W be an Iwahori-Weyl group of a connected reductive group G over a non-archimedean local field. I prove that if w is an element of W that does not act on the corresponding apartment of G by a translation then one can apply to w a…

Using norms, the second author constructed a basis for the centre of the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group over $\Q[\xi]$ in 1990. An integral "minimal" basis was later given by the first author in 1999, following work of Geck and…

These notes are based on a course given at the EPFL in May 2005. It is concerned with the representation theory of Hecke algebras in the non-semisimple case. We explain the role that these algebras play in the modular representation theory…
