Recently, we have shown that $\\bH$ admits a natural cellular basis in the sense of Graham--Lehrer, provided that $W$ is a Weyl group and all parameters of $\\bH$ are equal. The construction involves some data arising from the Kazhdan--Lusztig basis $\\{\\bC_w\\}$ of $\\bH$ and Lusztig's asymptotic ring $\\bJ$. This article attemps to study $\\bJ$ and its representation theory from a new point of view. We show that $\\bJ$ can be obtained in an entirely different fashion from the generic representations of $\\bH$, without any reference to $\\{\\bC_w\\}$. Then we can extend the construction of the cellular basis to the case where $W$ is not crystallographic. Furthermore, if $\\bH$ is a multi-parameter algebra, we will see that there always exists at least one cellular structure on $\\bH$. Finally, one may also hope that the new construction of $\\bJ$ can be extended to Hecke algebras associated to complex reflection groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-03-06T11:59:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C08" ], "keywords": [ "hecke algebras", "cellular bases", "leading coefficients", "finite coxeter group", "natural cellular basis" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0803.0842G" } } }
