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 regular representation of the infinite type-A Hecke algebra on the free module
