Forschungsseminar über Motive-WS 2013/14

Meeting time and place:

We meet on Tuesdays,14-16 Uhr (c.t.), in WSC-S-U-3.01

Program

This semester we will hold a seminar on Hecke algebras. Here is an preliminary outline:

1. Definitions and examples (based on [Bump], see also [Rouq]). 2-3 lectures

ai) Convolution Hecke algebra for (G,K)-definitions for G a p-adic Chevalley group or finite group, relation with representation theory of G (Bump, sections 1,2, 3, main results, theorem 1, lemma 1, theorem 2)

aii) Coxeter groups and Iwahori Hecke algebras: definition of Coxeter groups, examples of Weyl group of a finite root system, definition of the Iwahori Hecke algebra of a Coxeter group (Bump, sections 4, 5, 6, main results: prop. 14, theorem 6, prop 23, theorem 7, theorem 8 (no proof needed), examples for material in section 5,6).

bi) Finite field Iwahori Hecke algebras. Main result: the convolution Hecke algebra for G(F_q) agrees with the Iwahori Hecke algebra H_q(W(G)) for the Weyl group of G (here G is a simple classical algebraic group associated to some finite irreducible Dynkin diagram). (Bump section 8, theorem 11).

bii) Affine Weyl groups: definition, extended Dynkin diagram, affine Weyl group of a p-adic group (Bump sections 10, 11, 13, theorem 13, prop. 45, theorem 14, examples from section 11, theorem 15)

c) Iwahori Hecke algebra of p-adic groups: the convolution Hecke algebra of G(Q_p) with respect to the Iwahori subgroup J is isomorphic to the Iwahori Hecke algebra of the affine Weyl group (Bump section 15, theorem 21).

2. Geometric representation theory (based on [Ginz]). 4 lectures

a) generalities on Borel-Moore homology and intersection cohomology,
b) convolution algebras and the main idea of geometric representation theory,
c) Springer construction of the Weyl group and its representations,
d) Springer construction of the enveloping algebra of sl(n) and its representations.

3. Kahzdan-Lusztig conjectures. ([Springer], [KL]) 3 lectures

a) KL polynomials
b) Riemann-Hilbert correspondence
c) Kahzdan-Lusztig conjectures

4. Equivariant K-theory and the representation theory of Hecke algebras ([CG]-Chap. 7, [Vass]) 4 lectures.

a) Basics of K-theory and equivariant K-theory.
b) geometric construction of affine Hecke algebra,
c) epimorphism from quantized loop algebra onto affine Hecke algebra,
d) variations: Nil-Hecke algebras.
