We study the representation theory of three towers of algebras which are related to the symmetric groups and their Hecke algebras. The first one is constructed as the algebras generated simultaneously by the elementary transpositions and…

In this paper we give a new basis, $\Lambda$, for the Homflypt skein module of the solid torus, $\mathcal{S}({\rm ST})$, which was predicted by Jozef Przytycki, using topological interpretation. The basis $\Lambda$ is different from the…

Classical Hecke operators on Maass forms are unitarely equivalent, up to a commuting phase, to completely positive maps on II$_1$ factors, associated to a pair of isomorphic subfactors, and an intertwining unitary. This representation is…

The 0-Hecke algebra $H_n(0)$ is a deformation of the group algebra of the symmetric group $\SS_n$. We show that its coinvariant algebra naturally carries the regular representation of $H_n(0)$, giving an analogue of the well-known result…

The $\mathrm{SL}_d$-skein algebra $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{SL}_d}^q(S)$ of a surface $S$ is a certain deformation of the coordinate ring of the character variety consisting of flat $\mathrm{SL}_d$-local systems over the surface. As a quantum…

We show that relations in Homflypt type skein theory of an oriented $3$-manifold $M$ are induced from a $2$-groupoid defined from the fundamental $2$-groupoid of a space of singular links in $M$. The module relations are defined by…

We construct geometrically the generating fields of a W algebra which acts irreducibly on the direct sum of the cohomology rings of the Hilbert schemes of n points on a projective surface for all n. We compute explicitly the commutators…

In this paper we obtain explicit formulas for the traces of Hecke operators on spaces of cusp forms in certain instances related to arithmetic triangle groups. These expressions are in terms of hypergeometric character sums over finite…

We construct analogues of the Hecke operators for the moduli space of G-bundles on a curve X over a local field F with parabolic structures at finitely many points. We conjecture that they define commuting compact normal operators on the…

The oriented framed Homfly skein C of the annulus provides the natural parameter space for the Homfly satellite invariants of a knot. It contains a submodule C+ isomorphic to the algebra of the symmetric functions. We collect and expand…

We introduce a commutative associative graded algebra structure on the direct sum Z of the centers of the Hecke algebras associated to the symmetric groups in n letters for all n. As a natural deformation of the classical construction of…

For any reduced crystallographic root system, we introduce a unitary representation of the (extended) affine Hecke algebra given by discrete difference-reflection operators acting in a Hilbert space of complex functions on the weight…

We point out that the Homfly polynomial (that is to say, Ocneanu's trace functional) contains two polynomial-valued inner products on the Hecke algebra representation of Artin's braid group. These bear a close connection to the…

We consider the problem of defining an action of Hecke operators on the coherent cohomology of certain integral models of Shimura varieties. We formulate a general conjecture describing which Hecke operators should act integrally and solve…

We study the Hecke algebra $\H(\bq)$ over an arbitrary field $\FF$ of a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ with independent parameters $\bq=(q_s\in\FF:s\in S)$ for all generators. This algebra is always linearly spanned by elements indexed by the…

Let E_lambda be a Hilbert space, whose elements are functions spanned by the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator associated with an eigenvalue lambda>0. The norm of elements in this space is given by the Petersson inner product.…

There is a natural action of a kind of Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_n$ on the $n$th Morava $E$-theory of spaces. We construct Hecke operators in an amalgamated cohomology theory of the $n$th and the $(n+1)$st Morava $E$-theories. These…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a locally compact group $G$. In earlier work, we used $KK$-theory to equip the $K$-groups of any $\Gamma$-$C^{*}$-algebra on which the commensurator of $\Gamma$ acts with Hecke operators. When $\Gamma$ is…

We consider single trace operators of the form O_{m_1 ... m_n} = tr D_+^{m_1} F ... D_+^{m_n} F which are common to all gauge theories. We argue that, when all m_i are equal and large, they have a dual description as strings with cusps, or…

We consider symmetry operators a from the group ring C[S_N] which act on the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites. We investigate such symmetry operators a which are self-adjoint (in a sence defined in…
