Parabolic degeneration of rational Cherednik algebras (Q2412561): Difference between revisions

The main purpose of this paper under review is to introduce a new tool, the so-called \textit{parabolic degenerations}, for the study of rational Cherednik algebras and then to use them to give necessary conditions for finite-dimensionality of an irreducible lowest weight module for the rational Cherednik algebra of a complex reflection group, and for the existence of a non-zero mapping \(\Delta_c(\lambda)\longrightarrow \Delta_c(\mu)\) between two standard modules. The latter condition reproduces and enhances, in the case of the symmetric group, the combinatorics of cores and dominance order, and in general shows that the \(c\)-ordering on the category \(\mathcal{O}_c\) may be replaced by a much coarser ordering. The former gives a new proof of the classification of finite-dimensional irreducible modules for the Cherednik algebra of the symmetric group. In fact, they only provide an explicit computation of corank-one parabolic degenerations of standard modules, which implies the previous necessary conditions. A weak version of their criterion for finite-dimensionality implies that for the Cherednik algebra of the symmetric group \(S_n\) acting on its reflection representation, and with \(c > 0\), the only possible finite dimensional module is \(L_c\). This fact, together with an analysis of the polynomial representation of the rational Cherednik algebra, this may be used to give a new proof of the theorem of \textit{Y. Berest} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2003, No. 19, 1053--1088 (2003; Zbl 1063.20003)] to the effect that the only finite dimensional module is \(L_c\), occurring exactly when \(c\) is a positive rational number with denominator \(n\).
