Abstract: We describe a categorification of the Double Affine Hecke Algebra

m a t h c a l H k e r n - .4 e m m a t h c a l H

associated with an affine Lie algebra

w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k g

, a categorification of the polynomial representation and a categorification of Macdonald polynomials. All categorification results are given in the derived setting. That is, we consider the derived category associated with graded modules over the Lie superalgera

m a t h f r a k I [x i]

, where

m a t h f r a k I s u b s e t w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k g

is the Iwahori subalgebra of the affine Lie algebra and

x i

is a formal odd variable. The Euler characteristic of graded characters of a complex of

m a t h f r a k I [x i]

-modules is considered as an element of a polynomial representation. First, we show that the compositions of induction and restriction functors associated with minimal parabolic subalgebras

{m a t h f r a k p}_{i}

categorify Demazure operators

T_{i} + 1 i n m a t h c a l H k e r n - .4 e m m a t h c a l H

, meaning that all algebraic relations of

T_{i}

have categorical meanings. Second, we describe a natural collection of complexes

{m a t h b b E M}_{l a m b d a}

of

m a t h f r a k I [x i]

-modules whose Euler characteristic is equal to nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials

E_{l} a m b d a

for dominant

l a m b d a

and a natural collection of complexes of

m a t h f r a k g [z, x i]

-modules

{m a t h b b P M}_{l a m b d a}

whose Euler characteristic is equal to the symmetric Macdonald polynomial

P_{l a m b d a}

. We illustrate our theory with the example

m a t h f r a k g = m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}

where we construct the cyclic representations of Lie superalgebra

m a t h f r a k I [x i]

such that their supercharacters coincide with renormalizations of nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials.
