Canonical bases for Hecke algebra quotients (Q1574708)

An important construction in the theory of quantum groups and quantum algebras is that of canonical bases. The original example of this construction is the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis of the Hecke algebra. The Temperley-Lieb algebra may be defined as a certain quotient of the Hecke algebra of a Coxeter system of type \(A\). It is possible to generalize this construction to an arbitrary Coxeter system obtaining the so-called ``generalized Temperley-Lieb algebras'' as quotients. In the present article the authors show that canonical bases exist for Hecke algebra quotients associated to a Coxeter system of arbitrary type. Moreover, in the case where the Coxeter system is simply laced and the algebra is finite-dimensional, they explicitly determine this basis.
