On relations between the classical and the Kazhdan-Lusztig representations of symmetric groups and associated Hecke algebras. (Q2573486)

The authors investigate the relation between the classical and the Kazhdan-Lusztig representations of the symmetric groups and associated Hecke algebras. Let \(H\) be the Hecke algebra of a Coxeter system \((W,S)\), where \(W\) is a Weyl group of type \(A_n\), over the ring of scalars \(A=\mathbb{Z}[q^{1/2},q^{-1/2}]\), where \(q\) is an indeterminate. Using elementary methods the authors give a self-contained proof that the Specht module \(S^\lambda\), as defined by \textit{R. Dipper} and \textit{G. James} [in Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 52, 20-52 (1986; Zbl 0587.20007)], is \(H\)-isomorphic to a module denoted by \(S_{w_J}\) which is explicitly defined by \textit{D. Kazhdan} and \textit{G. Lusztig} and is seen to afford the cell representation [of Invent. Math. 53, 165-184 (1979; Zbl 0499.20035)] associated with the right cell containing the longest element \(w_J\) in a parabolic subgroup \(W_J\) of \(W\) generated by appropriate \(J\subset S\). The authors give the association between \(J\) and \(\lambda\) explicitly.
