Download or read book Iwahori-Hecke Algebras and their Representation Theory written by Ivan Cherednik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two basic problems of representation theory are to classify irreducible representations and decompose representations occuring naturally in some other context. Algebras of Iwahori-Hecke type are one of the tools and were, probably, first considered in the context of representation theory of finite groups of Lie type. This volume consists of notes of the courses on Iwahori-Hecke algebras and their representation theory, given during the CIME summer school which took place in 1999 in Martina Franca, Italy.
