Hecke Algebra Actions on the Coinvariant Algebra

Two actions of the Hecke algebra of type A on the corresponding polynomial ring are introduced. Both are deformations of the natural action of the symmetric group on polynomials, and keep symmetric functions invariant. An explicit combinatorial formula is given for the resulting graded characters on the coinvariant algebra.

The affine Hecke algebra

1 The affine Hecke algebra 1.1 The alcove walk algebra Fix notations for the Weyl group W , the extended affine Weyl group W , and their action on Ω × h * R as in Section 2. Label the walls of the alcoves so that the fundamental alcove has walls labeled 0, 1,. .. , n and the labeling is W-equivariant (see the picture in (2.12)). The periodic orientation is the orientation of the walls of the al...

On Permutation Statistics and Hecke Algebra Characters

Irreducible characters of Hecke algebras of type A may be represented as reened counts of simple statistics on suitable subsets of permutations. Such formulas have been generalized to characters of other Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras and to coinvariant algebras. In this paper we present several formulas, applications to combinatorial identities, and related problems. New results are g...

On the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the representation of the Hecke algebra of the complex reflection group $G_7$

We consider a 2-dimensional representation of the Hecke algebra $H(G_7, u)$, where $G_7$ is the complex reflection group and $u$ is the set of indeterminates $u = (x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2,y_3,z_1,z_2,z_3)$. After specializing the indetrminates to non zero complex numbers, we then determine a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the repre...
