Algebra Seminar: Guilhot -- Recognizing Kazhdan-Lusztig cells using representations

Jeremie Guilhot (Institut Denis Poisson, Universite de Tours) is speaking in the
Algebra Seminar this week.  We will go out for lunch after the talk.  

When: Friday, 13 October, 12-1pm Where: Carslaw 173 

Title: Recognizing Kazhdan-Lusztig cells using representations 

Abstract: The aim of this talk is to show on various examples that one can recognize
Kazhdan-Lusztig cells using representations of Hecke algebras.  This idea is especially
interesting in the case of affine Weyl groups where one can use representations that
have a very nice combinatorial descriptions in terms of alcove paths.  (This is part of
an ongoing project with Nathan Chapelier, Eloise Little and James Parkinson)
