On Lusztig's asymptotic Hecke algebra for SL₂

Abstract: Let

H

be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra and let

J

be Lusztig's asymptotic Hecke algebra, both specialized to type

i l d e A_{1}

. For

m a t h r m {S L}_{2}

, when the parameter

q

is specialized to a prime power, Braverman and Kazhdan showed recently that a completion of

H

has codimension two as a subalgebra of a completion of

J

, and described a basis for the quotient in spectral terms. In this note we write these functions explicitly in terms of the basis

t_{w}

of

J

, and further invert the canonical isomorphism between the completions of

H

and

J

, obtaining explicit formulas for the each basis element

t_{w}

in terms of the basis

T_{w}

of

H

. We conjecture some properties of this expansion for more general groups. We conclude by using our formulas to prove that

J

acts on the Schwartz space of the basic affine space of

m a t h r m {S L}_{2}

, and produce some formulas for this action.
