Algebra Seminar

On the lowest two-sided cell in an affine Weyl group

Jeremie Guilhot

19th September, 12:05-12:55pm, Carslaw 159


Abstract

In this talk, I will present the notion of affine Weyl groups and Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. Using a geometric presentation of an affine Weyl group, I will then establish, in the unequal parameter case, an upper bound for the number of left cells in the lowest two-sided cell, which generalizes the results of Bremke, Xi and Shi.


(The usual lunch after the Seminar will not take place, because of the Honours Information Session.)
