The level l Fock space admits canonical bases G_e and G_\infty. They correspond to U_{v}(hat{sl}_{e}) and U_{v}(sl_{\infty})-module structures. We establish that the transition matrices relating these two bases are unitriangular with…

Given a quantum group, we prove that the canonical bases of the tensor products of its integrable highest weight modules can be obtained from the canonical bases of the integrable highest weight modules of a bigger quantum group. As a…

Given a quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak g)$ and a pair of dominant weights ($\lambda$, $\mu$), we extend a conjecture raised by Lusztig in \cite{Lusztig:1992}to a more general form and then prove this extended Lusztig's…

We show that Lusztig's homomorphism from an affine Hecke algebra to the direct summand of its asymptotic Hecke algebra corresponding to the lowest two-sided cell is related to the homomorphism constructed by Chriss and Ginzburg using…

First, a canonical form for stabilizer parity check matrices of arbitrary size and rank is derived. Next, it is shown that the closely related canonical form of the Clifford group can be computed in time $O(n^3)$ for $n$ qubits, which…

In well-known work, Kazhdan and Lusztig (1979) defined a new set of Hecke algebra basis elements (actually two such sets) associated to elements in any Coxeter group. Often these basis elements are computed by a standard recursive algorithm…

A Lie group G has many left invariant metrics having drastically different curvature properties. If we regard G as a flat and globalizable absolute parallelism as in [O1], then G has a canonical metric. We study some surprising consequences…

For symmetric Kashiwara crystals of type $A$ and rank $e=2$, and for the canonical basis elements that we call external, corresponding to weights on the outer skin of the Kashiwara crystal, we construct the canonical basis elements in a…

We study the canonical basis for the negative part of the quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebra associated to a symmetric Borcherds-Cartan matrix. The algebras associated to two different matrices satisfying certain conditions may coincide.…

Using the isomorphism between highest weight U_q(sl_2)-modules and homologies of certain local systems on the configuration spaces, constructed by Varchenko, we give a geometric construction of the dual of the Lusztig's canonical basis in a…

In this article we show that the main C*-algebras describing the canonical commutation relations of quantum physics, i.e., the Weyl and resolvent algebras, are in the class of F{\o}lner C*-algebras, a class of C*-algebras admitting a kind…

The Weyl group of the Cuntz algebra O_n, with n finite, is investigated. This is (isomorphic to) the group of polynomial automorphisms of O_n, namely those induced by unitaries that can be written as finite sums of words in the canonical…

The spin representation $(\mathbb C^2)^{\otimes n}$ has a dual canonical basis introduced by Lusztig that is important in many areas of algebra, geometry, and physics. Khovanov observed that a portion of the dual canonical basis can be…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over the complex numbers. Let N be the cone of nilpotent elements in the Lie algebra of G. Let K_{G x C^*}(N) denote the Grothendieck group of the category of G x C^*-equivariant coherent sheaves on N. In…

To any element of a connected, simply connected, semisimple complex algebraic group G and a choice of an element of the corresponding Weyl group there is an associated Lusztig variety. When the element of G is regular semisimple, the…

We present a new characterization of Lusztig's canonical quotient group. We also define a duality map: to a pair consisting of a nilpotent orbit and a conjugacy class in its fundamental group, the map assigns a nilpotent orbit in the…

We establish a Schur type duality between a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of type A and the Hecke algebra of type B with 2 parameters. We identify the $\imath$-canonical basis on the tensor product of the natural representation…

For the flag variety G/B of a reductive algebraic group G we define a certain (set-theoretical) cross-section phi from G/B to G, which depends on a choice of reduced expression for the longest element in the Weyl group. This cross-section…

By Tits' deformation argument, a generic Iwahori--Hecke algebra $H$ associated to a finite Coxeter group $W$ is abstractly isomorphic to the group algebra of $W$. Lusztig has shown how one can construct an explicit isomorphism, provided…

The crystals for finite dimensional representations of sl(n+1) can be realized using Young tableaux. The infinity crystal on the other hand is naturally realized using multisegments, and there is a simple description of the embedding of…
