Nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials and Demazure characters. (Q1872815): Difference between revisions

The author studies the specialization \(E_\lambda(q,\infty)\) of the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials \(E_\lambda(q,t)\) associated with an irreducible affine root system for which the affine simple root is short. He establishes a connection between \(E_\lambda(q,\infty)\) and the Demazure characters of the corresponding affine Kac-Moody algebra. As a consequence, he derives a representation-theoretical interpretation of the coefficients of the expansion of the symmetric Macdonald polynomials in the basis formed by the irreducible characters of the associated finite Lie algebra. Moreover, he relates the specialization \(E_\lambda(\infty,\infty)\) of \(E_\lambda(q,t)\) to the Demazure characters of the finite irreducible Lie algebra. This paper extends the results obtained by \textit{Y. B. Sanderson} [J. Algebr. Comb. 11, No. 3, 269--275 (2000; Zbl 0957.05106)] in the case of an irreducible root system of type \(A_n\). The proofs rely on the method of intertwiners in double affine Hecke algebras.
