We define a nontrivial homomorphism from the Hecke algebra of type B onto a reduced algebra of the Hecke algebra of type A at roots of unity. We use this homomorphism to describe semisimple quotients of the Hecke algebra of type B at roots of unity. Using these quotients we determine subfactors obtained from the inclusion of Hecke algebra of type A into Hecke algebras of type B. We also study i...

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...

Hecke algebras were first studied because of their role in the representation theory of p-adic groups, or algebraic groups over 1-dimensional local fields. There are two important classes of Hecke algebras. One is spherical Hecke algebras attached to maximal compact open subgroups, and the other is Iwahori-Hecke algebras attached to Iwahori subgroups. A spherical Hecke algebra is isomorphic to ...

Given a holomorphic vector bundle F over a compact Riemann surface X, and a subspace Sx ⊂ Fx in the fiber over a point x, the Hecke transformation produces a new vector bundle E on X [10, 16]. The vector bundle E is the kernel of the natural quotient map F −→ Fx/Sx. Hecke transformation is a very useful tool to study the moduli space. For instance, they are used in computation of cohomologies o...

We generalize graded Hecke algebras to include a twisting twococycle for the associated finite group. We give examples where the parameter spaces of the resulting twisted graded Hecke algebras are larger than that of the graded Hecke algebras. We prove that twisted graded Hecke algebras are particular types of deformations of a crossed product.

We compute the weights, i.e. the values at the minimal idempotents, for the Markov trace on the Hecke algebra of type Bn and type Dn. In order to prove the weight formula, we define representations of the Hecke algebra of type B onto a reduced Hecke Algebra of type A. To compute the weights for type D we use the inclusion of the Hecke algebra of type D into the Hecke algebra of type B. Introduc...

For every known Hecke eigenform of weight 3 with rational eigenvalues we exhibit a K3 surface over Q associated to the form. This answers a question asked independently by Mazur and van Straten. The proof builds on a classification of CM forms by the second author.

By Grothedieck's Anabelian conjectures, Galois representations landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group which are associated to hyperbolic smooth curves defined over number fields encode all arithmetic information of these curves. The goal of this paper is to develope and arithmetic teichmuller theory, by which we mean, introducing arithmetic objects summarizing th...

We show that the Young tableaux theory and constructions of the irreducible representations of the Weyl groups of type A, can be obtained, in all cases, from the aane Hecke algebra of type A. The Young tableaux theory was extended to aane Hecke algebras (of general Lie type) in recent work of A. Ram. We also show how (in general Lie type) the representations of general aane Hecke algebras can b...
