Abstract: By a result of Mathas, the basis element T_{w_0} of the Hecke algebra of a finite Coxeter group acts in the canonical basis of a cell module as a permutation matrix times plus or minus a power of v. We generalize this result to the unequal parameter case,. We also show that the image of T_{w_0} in the corresponding asymptotic Hecke algebra is given by a simple formula.

Review text

Mathas has proved that the basis element \(T_{w_0}\) of the one-parameter Hecke algebra (labelled by the longest element \(w_0\)) of a finite Coxeter group acts in the canonical basis of a cell module as a permutation matrix times plus or minus a power of \(v\). In this paper the author generalizes this result to the unequal parameter case. He also gives a simple formula for the image of \(T_{w_0}\) in the corresponding asymptotic Hecke algebra.
