Both families are indexed by a non-negative integer $r$. For $r=0$, the classes in the first family coincide with left cells corresponding to the equal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebra. When $r$ is sufficiently large, the equivalence classes in the second family agree with left cells corresponding to a special class of choices of unequal parameters. Our main result shows that the two families of equivalence classes coincide, suggesting the structure of left cells for remaining choices of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-06-12T15:01:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E10", "20C08" ], "keywords": [ "weyl groups", "unequal parameter iwahori-hecke algebras", "left cells corresponding", "equivalence classes coincide", "iwahori-hecke algebra parameters" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......7231P" } } }
