Towards a combinatorial representation theory for the rational Cherednik algebra of type G(r,p,n)
Published 2006-12-23, updated 2008-08-22Version 3
The goal of this paper is to lay the foundations for a combinatorial study, via orthogonal functions and intertwining operators, of category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of type G(r,p,n). As a first application, we give a self-contained and elementary proof of the analog for the groups G(r,p,n), with r>1, of Gordon's theorem (previously Haiman's conjecture) on the diagonal coinvariant ring. We impose no restriction on p; the result for p<r has been proved by Vale using a technique analogous to Gordon's. Because of the combinatorial application to Haiman's conjecture, the paper is logically self-contained except for standard facts about complex reflection groups. The main results should be accessible to mathematicians working in algebraic combinatorics who are unfamiliar with the impressive range of ideas used in Gordon's proof of his theorem.
