One-dimensional nil-DAHA and Whittaker functions. II. (Q1949287)

This paper continues part I [Transform. Groups 17, No. 4, 953-987 (2012; Zbl 1318.20005)], where the authors introduced nil-DAHA as a certain limit of type \(A_1\) double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA). In the present paper, the authors define a so-called core subalgebra of nil-DAHA and study its properties and representation theory. This subalgebra can be defined either explicitly by generators and relations, or as an intersection of two other subalgebras in nil-DAHA. It is bigraded (in contrast to nil-DAHA and these subalgebras), and invariant under the natural anti-involution. The main results of the paper compare the induced representations of the core subalgebra with certain limits of the corresponding DAHA representations, studied by the first author and \textit{X. Ma} [in Sel. Math., New Ser. 19, No. 3, 737-817 (2013; Zbl 1293.20005) and ibid. 19, No. 3, 819-864 (2013; Zbl 1293.20006)].
