Hecke–von Neumann Algebras
摘要
In Sect. 21.1 we define the Hecke algebra \({\mathbb R}_{\mathbf q} W\) associated to a Coxeter system \((W,S)\) and a certain tuple of numbers \({\mathbf q}\) . It is a deformation of the group algebra \({\mathbb R} W\) . Hecke algebras arise in the study of buildings of type \((W,S)\) with thickness vector \({\mathbf q}\) .
