Doubled Hecke algebras and related quantum Schur duality (Q6597387)

This paper provides a Levi analog of the quantum Schur-Weyl duality.\N\NRecall the classical Schur-Weyl duality. Fix two positive integers \(n\) and \(r\). On the \(r\)-fold tensor power \((\mathbb{C}^n)^{\otimes r}\) of the \(n\)-dimensional vector space \(\mathbb{C}^n\) there are the diagonal action of the general linear group \(\mathrm{GL}_n\) and the action of the symmetric group \(\mathfrak{S}_r\) by permuting tensor factors. These two actions mutually commute and their images in \(\mathrm{End}((\mathbb{C}^n)^{\otimes r})\) span two subalgebras which are commutants of each other.\N\NThe quantum Schur-Weyl duality, due to Jimbo, is a similar double centralizer property with the groups \((\mathrm{GL}_n\) and \(\mathfrak{S}_r)\) replaced by the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group \(U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_n)\) and the Hecke algebra \(H_q(\mathfrak{S}_r)\), respectively. Here for simplicity we assume that \(q\) is a transcendental complex number and the underlying space of the two module structures is still \((\mathbb{C}^n)^{\otimes r}\).\N\NConsider the \textit{Levi subalgebra} \(U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{n-1}\times \mathfrak{gl}_1)\) of \(U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_n)\). In this paper the authors introduce what they call a \textit{double Hecke algebra}, which depends only on \(r\) and \(q\). They make \((\mathbb{C}^n)^{\otimes r}\) into a module over this new algebra and, as a main result, establish a double centralizer property for the Levi subalgebra and the double Hecke algebra. This can be viewed as a \(q\)-deformation of previous work on a Levi analog of the classical Schur-Weyl duality by \textit{B. Shu} et al. [``On enhanced reductive groups. I: Parabolic Schur algebras and the dualities related to degenerate double Hecke algebras'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:2005.13152}].
