In this paper we show that the leading coefficients $mu(y,w)$ of some Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials $P_{y,w}$ with $y,w$ in the affine Weyl group of type $widetilde{B_n}$ can be $n$; in the cases of types $widetilde{C_n}$ and $widetilde{D_n}$ they can be $n+1.$ Consequently, for the corresponding simply connected simple algebraic groups, the dimensions of the first extension groups between certain irreducible modules will go to infinity when $n$ increases.
We formulate a general super duality conjecture on connections between parabolic categories O of modules over Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras of type A, based on a Fock space formalism of their Kazhdan-Lusztig theories which was initiated by Brundan. We show that the Brundan-Kazhdan-Lusztig (BKL) polynomials for Lie superalgebra gl(m|n) in our parabolic setup can be identified with the usual parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. We establish some special cases of the BKL conjecture on the parabolic category O of gl(m|n)-modules and additional results which support the BKL conjecture and super duality conjecture.
We introduce the notion of minimal reduction type of an affine Springer fiber, and use it to define a map from the set of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group to the set of nilpotent orbits. We show that this map is the same as the one defined by Lusztig, and that the Kazhdan-Lusztig map is a section of our map. This settles several conjectures in the literature. For classical groups, we prove more refined results by introducing and studying the ``skeleta of affine Springer fibers.
Expanding the classic works of Kazhdan-Lusztig and Deodhar, we establish bar involutions and canonical (i.e., quasi-parabolic KL) bases on quasi-permutation modules over the type B Hecke algebra, where the bases are parameterized by cosets of (possibly non-parabolic) reflection subgroups of the Weyl group of type B. We formulate an $imath$Schur duality between an $imath$quantum group of type AIII (allowing black nodes in its Satake diagram) and a Hecke algebra of type B acting on a tensor space, providing a common generalization of Jimbo-Schur duality and Bao-Wangs quasi-split $imath$Schur duality. The quasi-parabolic KL bases on quasi-permutation Hecke modules are shown to match with the $imath$canonical basis on the tensor space. An inversion formula for quasi-parabolic KL polynomials is established via the $imath$Schur duality.
Rapoport and Kottwitz defined the affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X_{tilde{w}}^P(bsigma)$ of a quasisplit connected reductive group $G$ over $F = mathbb{F}_q((t))$ for a parahoric subgroup $P$. They asked which pairs $(b, tilde{w})$ give non-empty varieties, and in these cases what dimensions do these varieties have. This paper answers these questions for $P=I$ an Iwahori subgroup, in the cases $b=1$, $G=SL_2$, $SL_3$, $Sp_4$. This information is used to get a formula for the dimensions of the $X_{tilde{w}}^K(sigma)$ (all shown to be non-empty by Rapoport and Kottwitz) for the above $G$ that supports a general conjecture of Rapoport. Here $K$ is a special maximal compact subgroup.
Let F be a non-archimedean local field, let L be the maximal unramified extension of F, and let fr be the Frobenius automorphism. Let G be a split connected reductive group over F, and let B(1) be the Bruhat-Tits building associated to G(F). We know that fr acts on G(L) with fixed points G(F). Let I be the Iwahori associated to a chamber in B(1). We have the relative position map, inv, from G(L)/I x G(L)/I to the extended affine Weyl group, W_e of G. If w is in W_e and b is in G(L), then the affine Deligne-Lusztig set Xw(b fr) is {x in G(L)/I : inv(x,b fr(x)) = w}. This paper answers the question of which Xw(b fr) are non-empty for certain G and b.
