94 Parabolic modules for Iwahori-Hecke algebras

Let H be the Hecke algebra of the Coxeter group W with Coxeter generating set S, and let I be a subset of S. Let χ be a one-dimensional character of the parabolic subalgebra HI of H. Then H⊗HIχ (the induced representation of χ from HI to H) is naturally a H-module, with a natural basis MTw=Tw⊗ 1 indexed by the reduced-I elements of W (i.e., those elements w such that l(ws)>l(w) for any s∈ I).

The module action of an generator Ts of H which satisfies the quadratic relation (Ts-ps)(Ts-qs)=0 is given in this basis by:

Ts. MTw={
χ(Tw-1sw)MTw, if sw is not reduced-I (then w-1sw∈ I).
-ps qsMTsw+(ps+qs)MTw, if sw<w is reduced-I.
MTsw, if sw>w is reduced-I.
.

Kazhdan-Lusztig bases of an Hecke module are also defined in the same circumstances when Kazhdan-Lusztig bases of the algebra can be defined, but only the case of the base C' for χ the sign character has been implemented for now.

94.1 Construction of Hecke module elements of the MT basis

ModuleBasis( H, "MT" [, I [,chi]] )

H should be an Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a Coxeter group W with Coxeter generating set S, I should be a subset of S (specified by a list of the names of the generators in I), and chi should be a one-dimensional character of the parabolic subalgebra of H determined by I, represented by the list of its values on {Ts}s∈ I (if chi takes the same value on all generators of HI it can be represented by a single value).

The result is a function which can be used to make elements of the MT basis of the Hecke module associated to I and chi.

If omitted, I is assumed to be the first W.semiSimpleRank-1 generators of W (this makes sense for an affine Weyl group where they generate the corresponding linear Weyl group), and chi is taken to be equal to -1 (which specifies the sign character of H).

It is convenient to assign this function with a shorter name when computing with elements of the Hecke module. In what follows we assume that we have done the assignment:

    gap> W:=CoxeterGroup("A",2);;Wa:=Affine(W);;
    gap> q:=X(Rationals);;q.name:="q";;
    gap> H:=Hecke(Wa,q);
    Hecke(~A2,q)
    gap> MT:=ModuleBasis(H,"MT");
    function ( arg ) ... end

MT( w )

Here w is an element of the Coxeter group Group(H). The basis element MTw is returned if w is reduced-I, and otherwise an error is signaled.

MT( elts, coeffs)

In this form, elts is a list of elements of Group(H) and coeffs a list of coefficients which should be of the same length k. The element Sum([1..k],i->coeffs[i]*MT(elts[i])) is returned.

MT( list )

MT( s1, .., sn )

In the above two forms, the GAP3 list list or the GAP3 list [s1,..,sn] represents the Coxeter word for an element w of Group(H). The basis element MTw is returned if w is reduced-I, and otherwise an error is signaled.

The way elements of the Hecke module are printed depends on CHEVIE.PrintHecke. If CHEVIE.PrintHecke=rec(GAP:=true), they are printed in a way which can be input back in GAP3. When you load CHEVIE, the PrintHecke is initially set to rec().

94.2 Construction of Hecke module elements of the primed MC basis

ModuleBasis( H, "MC'" [, I] )

H should be an Iwahori-Hecke algebra with all parameters a power of the same indeterminate of a Coxeter group W with Coxeter generating set S and I should be a subset of S (specified by a list of the names of the generators in I). The character chi does not have to be specified since in this case only chi=-1 has been implemented.

If omitted, I is assumed to be the first W.semiSimpleRank-1 generators of W (this makes sense for an affine Weyl group where they generate the corresponding linear Weyl group).

The result is a function which can be used to make elements of the MC' basis of the Hecke module associated to I and the sign character. In this particular case, the MC' basis can be defined for an reduced-I element w in terms of the MT basis by MC'w=C'w MT1.

    gap> H:=Hecke(Wa,q^2);
    Hecke(~A2,q^2)
    gap> MC:=ModuleBasis(H,"MC'");
    #warning: MC' basis: q chosen as 2nd root of q\^2
    function ( arg ) ... end

94.3 Operations for Hecke module elements

+, -:

one can add or subtract two Hecke module elements.

Basis(x):

this call will convert Hecke module element x to basis Basis. With the same initializations as in the previous sections, we have:

    gap> MT:=ModuleBasis(H,"MT");;
    gap> MC(MT(1,2,3));
    -MC'()+qMC'(3)-q^2MC'(1,3)-q^2MC'(2,3)+q^3MC'(1,2,3)

*:

one can multiply on the left an Hecke module element by an element of the corresponding Hecke algebra. With the same initializations as in the previous sections, we have:

    gap> H:=Hecke(Wa,q);
    Hecke(~A2,q)
    gap> MT:=ModuleBasis(H,"MT");;
    gap> T:=Basis(H,"T");
    function ( arg ) ... end
    gap> T(1)*MT(1,2,3);
    qMT(2,3)+(q-1)MT(1,2,3)

94.4 CreateHeckeModuleBasis

CreateHeckeModuleBasis(basis, ops, algebraops)

This function is completely parallel to the function CreateHeckeBasis. See the description of this last function. The only difference is that it is not ops.T which is required to be bound, but ops.MT which should contain a function which takes an element in the basis basis and converts it to the MT basis.
