Jan 31, 2011 at 10:22 comment added Sheikraisinrollbank @Victor: I don't understand why the iso. between CW and the Hecke algebra at non-zero q that isn't a root of unity should be canonical at all (though I believe that specific iso's have been written down). In fact it seems reasonable that there should be one such iso. for each homotopy class of paths from 1 to q (in the space of q for which the Hecke algebra is semisimple).

Jul 16, 2010 at 13:16 comment added Pooja Singla Oh ok I am really sorry then for wrong use of word 'generic'. Yeah as a first case I want to know about representations of C[W] for any coxeter group W. Would you please comment on that? I shall be greatly thankful for that. My apologies for my little knowledge in this area.
Jul 16, 2010 at 4:38 comment added Victor Protsak For $q=1$ the Hecke algebra by definition coincides with the group algebra of the corresponding Coxeter group $\mathbb{C}[W]$, so it is in no way "generic" case. For non-zero $q$ that isn't the root of unity, the algebra is semisimple and canonically isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}[W].$ Therefore, multiplicity=dimension is the same as for $W$. Is that what you were looking for? NB: "Generic" implies that $q$ is treated as a parameter and the Hecke algebra is considered over the ring $\mathbb{C}[q,q^{-1}]$ or its extension.
