Abstract

The Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}$ of a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ has a "standard basis" indexed by the elements of $W$ and a "bar involution" given by a certain antilinear map. Together, these form an example of what Webster calls a pre-canonical structure, relative to which the well-known Kazhdan-Lusztig basis of $\mathcal{H}$ is a canonical basis. Lusztig and Vogan have defined a representation of a modified Iwahori-Hecke algebra on the free $\mathbb{Z}[v,v^{-1}]$-module generated by the set of twisted involutions in $W$, and shown that this module has a unique pre-canonical structure satisfying a certain compatibility condition, which admits its own canonical basis which can be viewed as a generalization of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis. One can modify the parameters defining Lusztig and Vogan's module to obtain other pre-canonical structures, each of which admits a unique canonical basis indexed by twisted involutions. We classify all of the pre-canonical structures which arise in this fashion, and explain the relationships between their resulting canonical bases. While some of these canonical bases are related in a trivial fashion to Lusztig and Vogan's construction, others appear to have no simple relation to what has been previously studied. Along the way, we also clarify the differences between Webster's notion of a canonical basis and the related concepts of an IC basis and a $P$-kernel.

A local relative trace formula for F*\SL(2,F)

In this note, we derive explicitly the local relative trace formula for the symmetric space F*\SL(2,F) at the level of Lie algebras, where F is a p-adic field of residue characteristic greater than two and F* is the set of invertible elements in F. This is perhaps one of the simplest non-trivial analogs of the trace formula, and also a motivating example for the author's work (in preparation) on the relative trace formula.

Semi-infinite parabolic IC-sheaf

Let G be a connected reductive group, P its parabolic subgroup. We consider the parabolic semi-infinite category of sheaves on the affine Grassmanian of G and construct the parabolic version of the semi-infinite IC-sheaf of each orbit. We establish some of its properties and relate it to sheaves on the Drinfeld compactification of the moduli stack Bun_P of P-torsors on a curve. We also relate the parabolic semi-infinite IC-sheaf with the dual baby Verma object on the spectral side.

The Grothendieck group of an extriangulated category

In this paper, we investigate the split Grothendieck group $K^{\rm sp}_{0}(\mathcal{M})$ of a $d$-rigid subcategory $\mathcal{M}$ in an extriangulated category $\mathscr{C}$. As applications, we prove the following results: (1) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a silting subcategory, then the Grothendieck group $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to $K_{0}^{\rm sp}(\mathcal{M})$; (2) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory, then $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to the index Grothendieck group $K_{0}^{\rm in}(\mathcal{M})$; (3) Let $\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d}$ be the $d$-cluster category of type $A_n$. If $d$ is even, then $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong \mathbb{Z}/(n+1)\mathbb{Z}$. If $d$ is odd, then $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong \mathbb{Z}$ if $n$ is odd; $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong 0$ if $n$ is even.
