Abstract: In the case of rational Cherednik algebras associated with cyclic groups, we give an alternative proof that the projective object PextKZ representing the KZ-functor is isomorphic to the Delta-module associated with the coinvariant algebra for a subset of parameter values from which all parameter values can be obtained by integral translations. We also specify the exact parameter values for which this isomorphism occurs. Furthermore, we determine the action of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra on PextKZ for these parameter values, thereby giving a complete algebraic description of the KZ-functor in this case.


Let \({\mathfrak h}\) be a finite-dimensional complex vector space, \(W \subset GL_{{\mathbb C}}({\mathfrak h})\) be a finite reflection group, and \(\text{Refl}_W\) denote its set of pseudo-reflections. Given a \(W\)-equivariant function \(c: \text{Refl}_W \to {\mathbb C}\), one has an associated rational Cherednik algebra \(H_{c}(W,{\mathfrak h})\), which arises as a quotient (depending on \(c\)) of \(T({\mathfrak h}\oplus {\mathfrak h}^*)\rtimes W\). As a vector space, \(H_{c}(W,{\mathfrak h}) = S({\mathfrak h}^*)\otimes_{{\mathbb C}}{\mathbb C}W\otimes_{{\mathbb C}}S({\mathfrak h})\), giving rise to a PBW-like decomposition. Further, one can associate a BGG-type category \({\mathcal O}\) to \(H_{c}(W,{\mathfrak h})\), denoted \({\mathcal O}_{c}(W,{\mathfrak h})\), which is a highest weight category with standard and costandard modules indexed by irreducible \(W\)-modules. In [Invent. Math. 154, No. 3, 617--651 (2003; Zbl 1071.20005)], \textit{V. Ginzburg} et al. showed that there is an exact functor \(\text{KZ}: {\mathcal O}_{c}(W,{\mathfrak h}) \to {\mathcal H}_{c}(W,{\mathfrak h})\text{-mod}\), where \({\mathcal H}_c(W,{\mathfrak h})\) is the associated cyclotomic Hecke algebra. As an exact functor, KZ is represented by a projective object \(P_{\text{KZ}}\) in the category \({\mathcal O}_c(W,{\mathfrak h})\). The goal of this paper is to understand the KZ-functor and \(P_{\text{KZ}}\) in the case when \(W\) is a finite cyclic group, i.e., \(W = {\mathbb Z}/n\), for some \(n\).NEWLINENEWLINEIn general, for a finite-dimensional, graded \(S({\mathfrak h})\rtimes W\)-module \(M\), consider the standard induced module \(\Delta_c(M) := H_c(W,{\mathfrak h})\otimes_{S({\mathfrak h})\rtimes W}M\) and costandard module \(\nabla_c(M) := \text{Homgr}^{\bullet}_{S({\mathfrak h}^*)\rtimes W}(H_c(W,{\mathfrak h}),M)\). Rouquier has conjectured that there exist \(c\) such that \(P_{\text{KZ}}\) is isomorphic to the standard induced module \(\Delta_c(S({\mathfrak h})_W)\) of the coinvariant algebra \(S({\mathfrak h})_W\). It is observed that this conjecture would hold if it could be shown that \(\Delta_c(S({\mathfrak h})_W)\) has a \(\nabla\)-filtration, thus making it a tilting module in \({\mathcal O}_c(W,{\mathfrak h})\). Towards that end, the author studies \(H_c(W,{\mathfrak h})\)-module maps from \(\Delta_c(S({\mathfrak h})_W)\) to \(\nabla_c(S({\mathfrak h}^*)_W\otimes_{\mathbb C}\text{det}_{\mathfrak h}^{-1}\langle N\rangle)\), in hopes of finding an isomorphism. Here, \(N\) is the number of psuedo-reflections. The first main result is a one-to-one correspondence between this set of module maps and \(\text{Hom}_{{\mathbb C}W}(S(\mathfrak{h}^*)_W,\text{Har}^*)\), where \(\text{Har} \subset S({\mathfrak h})\) is a homogeneous \(W\)-submodule of harmonic polynomials.NEWLINENEWLINEIn the case that \(W = {\mathbb Z}/n\), one can parameterize the Cherednik (and cyclotomic Hecke) algebras by tuples \({\mathbf c} := (c_1, c_2, \dots, c_{n-1},c_n) \in {\mathbb C^n}\), with \(c_n = 0\). Let \({\mathcal F}\) denote the subset of such tuples such that, for \(1 \leq i,j \leq n\), if \(c_i - c_j \equiv j - i \mod n\), then \(c_i - c_j = j - i\). For \({\mathbf c} \in {\mathcal F}\), the author shows that \(\Delta_{{\mathbf c}}(S({\mathfrak h})_W)\) is indeed tilting, and hence may be identified with \(P_{\text{KZ}}\). Moreover, by studying the endomorphism rings of these modules, it is shown that this isomorphism holds only for \({\mathbf c}\) lying in \({\mathcal F}\). Lastly, for \({\mathbf c} \in {\mathcal F}\), the author gives a precise determination of the action of \({\mathcal H}_{{\mathbf c}}(W,{\mathfrak h})\) on \(\Delta_{{\mathbf c}}(S({\mathfrak h})_W)\) induced by the \(\text{KZ}\)-functor.
