We establish an explicit algebra isomorphism between the affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebra $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ and a direct sum of matrix algebras with coefficients in tensor products of affine Hecke algebras of type $A.$ As an application of this result, we show that $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ is affine cellular in the sense of Koenig and Xi, and further prove that it has finite global dimension when the parameter $q$ is not a root of the Poincare polynomial. As another application, we also recover the modular representation theory of $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ previously obtained in [CW].
Inspired by the work [Ra1], we directly give a complete classification of irreducible calibrated representations of affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ over $mathbb{C},$ which are indexed by $r$-tuples of placed skew shapes. We then develop several applications of this result. In the appendix, inspired by [Ru], we classify and construct irreducible completely splittable representations of degenerate affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras $D_{r,n}$ and the wreath product $(mathbb{Z}/rmathbb{Z})wr mathfrak{S}_{n}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p> 0$ such that $p$ does not divide $r$.
We first give a direct proof of a basis theorem for the cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebra $Y_{r,n}^{d}(q).$ Our approach follows Kleshchevs, which does not use the representation theory of $Y_{r,n}^{d}(q),$ and so it is very different from that of [ChP2]. We also present two applications. Then we prove that the cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebra $Y_{r,n}^{d}(q)$ is cellular by constructing an explicit cellular basis, and show that the Jucys-Murphy elements for $Y_{r,n}^{d}(q)$ are JM-elements in the abstract sense. In the appendix, we shall develop the fusion procedure for $Y_{r,n}^{d}(q).$
We first present an Iwahori-Matsumoto presentation of affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ to give a new proof of the fact, which was previously proved by Chlouveraki and Secherre, that $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q)$ is a particular case of the pro-$p$-Iwahori-Hecke algebras defined by Vigneras, meanwhile, we give one application. Using the new presentation, we then give a third presentation of $widehat{Y}_{r,n}(q),$ from which we immediately get an unexpected result, that is, the extended affine Hecke algebra of type $A$ is a subalgebra of the affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebra.
We explore the modular representation theory of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras. We provide an equivalence between the category of finite dimensional representations of the affine (resp. cyclotomic) Yokonuma-Hecke algebra and that of an algebra which is a direct sum of tensor products of affine Hecke algebras of type $A$ (resp. Ariki-Koike algebras). As one of the applications, the irreducible representations of affine and cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras are classified over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. Secondly, the modular branching rules for these algebras are obtained; moreover, the resulting modular branching graphs for cyclotomic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras are identified with crystal graphs of irreducible integrable representations of affine Lie algebras of type $A.$
