We develop the GKM theory for the torus-equivariant cohomology of the affine flag variety using the combinatorics of alcove walks. Dual to the usual GKM setup, which depicts the orbits of the small torus action on a graph, alcove walks take…
This paper makes precise the close connection between the affine Hecke algebra, the path model, and the theory of crystals. Section 2 is a basic pictorial exposition of Weyl groups and affine Weyl groups and Section 5 is an exposition of…
The Littelmann path moel gives a realization of the crystals of integrable representations of symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras. Recent work of Gaussent-Littelmann and others has demonstrated a connection between this model and the…
We point out a connection between fusion coefficients and random walks in a fixed level alcove associated to the root system of an affine Lie algebra and use this connection to solve completely the Dirichlet problem on such an alcove for a…
In this paper we generalize and study a notion of (unipotent) nearby cycles over a higher dimensional base based on Be\u{i}linson's description of unipotent nearby cycles, following an idea of Gaitsgory. This generalization, in the setting…
In this paper we outline an approach for analysing random walks on the chambers of buildings. The types of walks that we consider are those which are well adapted to the structure of the building: Namely walks with transition probabilities…
The Hecke algebras and quantum group of affine type A admit geometric realizations in terms of complete flags and partial flags over a local field, respectively. Subsequently, it is demonstrated that the quantum group associated to partial…
We study the structure and representation theory of affine wreath product algebras and their cyclotomic quotients. These algebras, which appear naturally in Heisenberg categorification, simultaneously unify and generalize many important…
We study certain nearby cycles sheaves on an affine flag manifold which arise naturally in the Beilinson-Gaitsgory deformation of the affine flag manifold to the affine Grassmannian. We study the multiplicity functions we introduced in an…
We use a reflection argument, introduced by Gessel and Zeilberger, to count the number of k-step walks between two points which stay within a chamber of a Weyl group. We apply this technique to walks in the alcoves of the classical affine…
This is a survey on the combinatorics and geometry of integrable representations of quantum affine Lie algebras with a particular focus on level 0. Pictures and examples are included to illustrate the affine Weyl group orbits, crystal…
This paper investigates the connections between buildings and Hecke algebras through the combinatorial study of two algebras spanned by averaging operators on buildings. As a consequence we obtain a geometric and combinatorial description…
We study a category of semiinfinite sheaves on the affine flag variety of a connected reductive algebraic group, with coefficients in a field of arbitrary characteristic, generalizing some results of Gaitsgory and showing that this category…
We review the construction of generalized affine Hecke algebras attached to Bernstein series of both smooth irreducible and enhanced $L$-parameters of $p$-adic reductive groups and apply it to the study of the Howe correspondence.
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an untwisted affine Lie algebra with associated Weyl group $W_a$. To any level 0 weight $\gamma$ we associate a weighted graph $\Gamma_\gamma$ that encodes the orbit of $\gamma$ under the action $W_a$. We show that the…
These are notes for lectures given at MIT in 1999 (Fall). They contain a discussion of affine Hecke algebras with possibly unequal parameters including a theory of cells and a partly conjectural theory of J-rings.
We introduce a new algebra called the shifted $q=0$ affine algebra, which arises naturally from the study of coherent sheaves on Grassmannians and n-step partial flag varieties via a natural correspondence. It has similar presentation as…

We study the Jordan-Hoelder series for nearby cycles on certain Shimura varieties and Rapoport-Zink local models, and on finite-dimensional pieces of Beilinson's deformation of the affine Grassmannian to the affine flag variety (and their…
We use the Hecke algebras of affine symmetric groups and their associated Schur algebras to construct a new algebra through a basis, and a set of generators and explicit multiplication formulas of basis elements by generators. We prove that…
