This paper is a continuation of [3] in which the first two authors have introduced the spherical Hecke algebra and the Satake isomorphism for an untwisted affine Kac-Moody group over a non-archimedian local field. In this paper we develop the theory of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra associated to these same groups. The resulting algebra is shown to be closely related to Cherednik’s double affine Hec...

To date, integral bases for the centre of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a finite Coxeter group have relied on character theoretical results and the isomorphism between the Iwahori-Hecke algebra when semisimple and the group algebra of the finite Coxeter group. In this paper, we generalize the minimal basis approach of an earlier paper, to provide a way of describing and calculating elements of t...

We describe a recursive algorithm that produces an integral basis for the centre of the Hecke algebra of type A consisting of linear combinations of monomial symmetric polynomials of Jucys–Murphy elements. We also discuss the existence of integral bases for the centre of the Hecke algebra that consist solely of monomial symmetric polynomials of Jucys–Murphy elements. Finally, for n = 3, we show...

The Hecke group algebra H W̊ of a finite Coxeter group W̊ , as introduced by the first and last author, is obtained from W̊ by gluing appropriately its 0-Hecke algebra and its group algebra. In this paper, we give an equivalent alternative construction in the case when W̊ is the classical Weyl group associated to an affine Weyl group W . Namely, we prove that, for q not a root of unity, H W̊ is the ...

The Hecke algebra of the pair (S2n,Bn), where Bn is the hyperoctahedral subgroup of S2n, was introduced by James in 1961. It is a natural analogue of the center of the symmetric group algebra. In this paper, we give a polynomiality property of its structure coefficients. Our main tool is a combinatorial universal algebra which projects on the Hecke algebra of (S2n,Bn) for every n. To build it, ...

We consider the double-row (open) transfer matrix constructed from generic representations of various types of Hecke algebras. For different choices of boundary conditions for the relevant integrable lattice model we express the double-row transfer matrix solely in terms of generators of the corresponding Hecke algebra. We then expand the open transfer matrix and extract the associated Murphy e...

In the fundamental work of Lusztig [L] on affine Hecke algebras, a special role is played by the root system of type C̃n. The affine Hecke algebra is a deformation of the group algebra of an affine Weyl group which usually depends on as many parameters as there are distinct root lengths, i.e. one or two for an irreducible root system. However in the C̃n case, the Hecke algebra H has three paramet...
