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...

Hecke Operators on Cohomology

Hecke operators play an important role in the theory of automorphic forms, and automorphic forms are closely linked to various cohomology groups. This paper is mostly a survey of Hecke operators acting on certain types of cohomology groups. The class of cohomology on which Hecke operators are introduced includes the group cohomology of discrete subgroups of a semisimple Lie group, the de Rham c...

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.
