How many traces are there on Temperley-Lieb, Fuss-Catalan, Iwahori-Hecke, Birman-Wenzl-Murakami-Kauffman, ... algebras?

Let me work over $\mathbb{C}$ for simplicity. For generic values of the parameter the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_n$ is semisimple. A finite-dimensional semisimple algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ is a finite ...

Cusp forms have an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions for all Hecke operators

These things are not trivial at all, but by the time Langlands was writing "Euler products" they were known, and quite familiar to many people at Princeton and Yale, even if not so many other places. ...

Do Iwahori-Hecke algebras come from cohomology classes?

Not in an interesting way. Cohomology classes describe formal deformations (i.e. deformations over an Artinian ring, or more generally complete local rings), and the Iwahori-Hecke algebra is trivial ...

Is $(G\rtimes H,H)$ a Gelfand pair iff $G$ is abelian?

No, let $G$ be an arbitrary group and take $H=G$ acting on itself by conjugation. Then $H$ becomes the diagonal in $G\rtimes H\cong G\times G$. This is well known to be a Gelfand pair. PS: The Hecke ...

Smallest Mazur's good prime

The good primes (not counting $\ell$ itself, if that's allowed to be a good prime) are precisely those that lie both in one of $\ell-2$ reduced residue classes (mod $\ell$) and one of $(p-1)(1-1/\ell)$...

What is the archimedean Hecke algebra?

The terminology is a bit misleading, and the analogy with the non-archimedean situation is a bit forced. The goal was/is to have a $\mathfrak g,K$-module be a "Hecke algebra module", for some ...

What is the archimedean Hecke algebra?

Restriction to the diagonal of Hilbert eigenforms

Positivity of Iwahori–Hecke algebra characters on the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis

This is a really good question. What is known of an answer is somewhat complicated, and perhaps others have more useful things to say. As you mention, the Hecke algebra $H$ is categorified by the ...

Name for algebra and its tensor products

As requested, I elaborate on my comment. First of all, let me make a change of variables $a_i=U_i-1$. The relations then become $a_i+1=a_{i-1}a_{i+1}$. For $n=2,3,4$ I used the Magma online ...

Relation between Hecke operators and coefficient of L-functions

A normalized version of your guess is right. First note that the $T_{p^n}$'s satisfy the relation $$ T_{p^{n+1}} = T_p T_{p^n} - p T_{p^{n-1}} $$ (e.g., Bump Prop 4.6.4). This gives you a recursion ...
