A uniform classification of discrete series representations of affine Hecke algebras (Q2364132)

In this paper, the authors give a new and independent parametrization of the set of discrete series characters of an affine Hecke algebra \(H_v\) in terms of a canonically defined basis \(B_{\mathrm{gm}}\) of a certain lattice of virtual elliptic characters of the underlying (extended) affine Weyl group. This classification applies to all semisimple affine Hecke algebras \(H\), and to all \(v\in Q\), where \(Q\) denotes the vector group of positive real (possibly unequal) Hecke parameters for \(H\). In the nonsimply laced cases, they show that the families of virtual discrete series characters \(\mathrm{Ind}_D(b;v)\) are piecewise rational in the parameters \(v\).
