This paper introduces the
notion of rational spin double affine Hecke algebras (sDaHa) and rational double
affine Hecke–Clifford algebras (DaHCa) associated to classical Weyl groups, and
establishes the basic properties of these algebras, such as the PBW basis and Dunkl
operator representations. We obtain an algebra isomorphism relating the rational
DaHCa to the rational sDaHa. We further develop a link between the usual rational
Cherednik algebra and the rational sDaHa by introducing a notion of rational
covering double affine Hecke algebras.
