TauCeti.Algebra.TypeAHeckeAlgebra.Embedding

The finite type-A Hecke algebras embed in the infinite one #

The map TauCeti.TypeAHeckeAlgebra.toInfinite R q n from the Hecke algebra on n strands to the infinite type-A Hecke algebra, T i ↦ T i, has image the stage of the first n strands. This file proves that it is injective, over every commutative ring R and for every unit q. Hence the finite presentation is isomorphic to the stage (TauCeti.TypeAHeckeAlgebra.stageEquiv), the stage is a free module with basis the images of the elements T_w, and the tower maps are injective.

The proof extends Iwahori's regular representation to the infinite algebra. For a Coxeter system of type A_∞ on a group W' (TauCeti.coxeterMatrixAInfty), the left regular operators CoxeterSystem.heckeLeftMul on W' →₀ R satisfy the defining relations of the infinite algebra, which gives TauCeti.InfiniteTypeAHeckeAlgebra.regularRep. A Coxeter group W of type A_(n-1) maps to W' by s i ↦ s' i (CoxeterSystem.parabolicHom), and this map is injective and preserves lengths, because a standard parabolic subgroup is the Coxeter group of the restricted Coxeter matrix. So a reduced word for w : W stays reduced in W', and the image of T_w in the infinite algebra sends the basis vector of 1 to the basis vector of the image of w (TauCeti.TypeAHeckeAlgebra.regularRep_toInfinite_Tw_apply_single_one). These vectors are linearly independent, and the elements T_w form a basis of the finite algebra, so toInfinite is injective.

    The image of T_w in the infinite type-A Hecke algebra takes, in the regular representation of the infinite algebra, the basis vector of 1 to the basis vector of the image of w under the inclusion CoxeterSystem.parabolicHom of Coxeter groups of types A_(n-1) and A_∞.

    The Hecke algebra on n strands embeds in the infinite type-A Hecke algebra, over every commutative ring and for every unit parameter.

    The finite presentation is isomorphic to the stage: the Hecke algebra on n strands is isomorphic to the stage of the first n strands of the infinite type-A Hecke algebra, by the map T i ↦ T i.

      The images in the infinite type-A Hecke algebra of the elements T_w of the Hecke algebra on n strands are linearly independent.

      The tower map from n to n + 1 strands is injective.

      The stage of the first n strands is a free module: the images of the elements T_w of the Hecke algebra on n strands form a basis.

      Over a nontrivial commutative ring, the rank of the stage of the first n strands is the order of the Coxeter group W of type A_(n-1).

      The stage of the first n strands is a finitely generated module: the images of the elements T_w, for w in the symmetric group on n letters, form a finite basis.

      Over a nontrivial commutative ring, the stage of the first n strands has rank n!.
