Quantum affine algebras and affine Hecke algebras

Vyjayanthi Chari and Andrew Pressley

Vol. 174 (1996), No. 2, 295–326
Abstract

We describe a functor from the category 𝒞m of finite-dimensional representations of the affine Hecke algebra of GL(m) to the category 𝒟n of finite-dimensional representations of affine sl(n). If m < n, this functor is an equivalence between 𝒞m and the subcategory of 𝒟n consisting of those representations whose irreducible components under quantum sl(n) all occur in the m-fold tensor product of the natural representation of quantum sl(n). These results are analogous to the classical Frobenius-Schur duality between the representations of general linear and symmetric groups.
