HeckeT

The basis element of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra , indexed by a permutation in one-line notation. Multiplication is the -deformation of the symmetric group's.

HeckeT([2,1,3]) for the permutation

Domain: Hecke algebras

Details
  • when the length goes up, and when it goes down — the second case is the entire deformation
  • So a product of two basis elements is a LINEAR COMBINATION, unlike the other algebra families here; sums read back in, so products compose
  • The quadratic relation is , i.e. , replacing
  • The braid relations survive the deformation, which is why is the product over ANY reduced word for
  • Coefficients stay exact polynomials in ; use HeckeSpecialize to pick a value
  • Use the ordered product (NonCommutativeMultiply or ) — is not commutative
