Let $W$ be a Coxeter group. The goal of the paper is to construct new Hopf algebras that contain Hecke algebras $H_{\bf q}(W)$ as (left) coideal subalgebras. Our Hecke-Hopf algebras ${\bf H}(W)$ have a number of applications. In particular…

We consider ideals of polynomials vanishing on the W-orbits of the intersections of mirrors of a finite reflection group W. We determine all such ideals which are invariant under the action of the corresponding rational Cherednik algebra…

Factoring out the spin $1$ subalgebra of a $ W $ algebra leads to a new $ W $ structure which can be seen either as a rational finitely generated $ W $ algebra or as a polynomial non-linear $ W_\infty$ realization.

We study W-algebras obtained by quantum Hamiltonian reduction of $sl(Mn)$ associated to the $sl(2)$ embedding of rectangular type. The algebra can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued…

The so called generalized down-up algebras are revisited from a viewpoint of Gr\"obner basis theory. Particularly it is shown explicitly that generalized down-up algebras are solvable polynomial algebras (provided $\lambda\omega\ne 0$), and…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a simple Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ and Weyl group $W$. We build up a graded map $(\mathcal H\otimes \bigwedge\mathfrak h\otimes \mathfrak h)^W\to (\bigwedge \mathfrak g\otimes \mathfrak…

In this fith part, (with the notations of the preceding parts) we make the following hypothesis: $(W,S)$ is a Coxeter system, irreducible, $2$-spherical and $S$ is of cardinality $3$. Let $R:W\to GL(M)$ be a reducible reflection…

We present a way to associate an algebra $B_G (\Upsilon) $ with every pseudo reflection group $G$. When $G$ is a Coxeter group of simply-laced type we show $B_G (\Upsilon)$ is isomorphic to the generalized Brauer algebra of simply-laced…

The descent algebra of the symmetric group, over a field of non-zero characteristic p, is studied. A homomorphism into the algebra of generalised p-modular characters of the symmetric group is defined. This is then used to determine the…

Two notions of riffle shuffling on finite Coxeter groups are given: one using Solomon's descent algebra and another using random walk on chambers of hyperplane arrangements. These coincide for types $A$,$B$,$C$, $H_3$, and rank two groups.…

The Virasoro Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the Witt algebra, which can be realized as the Lie algebra of derivations on the algebra $\cc [t^{\pm}]$ of Laurent polynomials. Using this fact, we define a natural family…

In previous work, the authors introduced the notion of Q-Koszul algebras, as a tool to "model" module categories for semisimple algebraic groups over fields of large characteristics. Here we suggest the model extends to small…

Let G be a simple reductive group over the complex numbers. Let W be the Weyl group of G. We propose a description of the Springer representations of W associated to various unipotent classes of G by a purely algebraic method involving the…

We introduce a new class of algebras, called reconstruction algebras, and present some of their basic properties. These non-commutative rings dictate in every way the process of resolving the Cohen-Macaulay singularities C^2/G where G is a…

We introduce analogues of Soergel bimodules for complex reflection groups of rank one. We give an explicit parametrization of the indecomposable objects of the resulting category and give a presentation of its split Grothendieck ring by…

A finite subgroup of $GL(n,\mathbb C)$ is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all…

The purpose of the present article is to define and study a new class of descent algebras, called twisted descent algebras. These algebras are associated to the Barratt-Joyal theory of twisted bialgebras in the same way than classical…

We give a new proof and an improvement of two Theorems of J. Alev, M.A. Farinati, T. Lambre and A.L. Solotar : the first one about Hochschild cohomology spaces of some twisted bimodules of the Weyl algebra W and the second one about…

For W a finite (2-)reflection group and B its (generalized) braid group, we determine the Zariski closure of the image of B inside the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. The Lie algebra of this closure is reductive and generated in the…

A class of algebras called down-up algebras was introduced by G. Benkart and T. Roby. We classify the finite dimensional simple modules over Noetherian down-up algebras and show that in some cases every finite dimensional module is…
