Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a BN-pair Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For a finite group with a BN-pair, the Iwahori-Hecke algebra over is the endomorphism algebra of the permutation module , up to the conventional opposite algebra. Its standard basis is indexed by the Bruhat double cosets.
A BN-pair consists of subgroups for which , the subgroup is normal in , the quotient is generated by a distinguished set of involutions, and the Bruhat multiplication and nondegeneracy axioms hold. The quotient is the associated Weyl group, and the axioms give the Bruhat decomposition of a BN-pair
The Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a BN-pair may be defined, up to the usual opposite-algebra convention, by
Its standard basis is indexed by the Bruhat double cosets. For a simple generator represented by , set
The double-coset multiplication rule is the generic rule from part a with specialized to . Thus is a specialization of the generic algebra.
