Two families of Dirac-like operators for Drinfeld's Hecke algebra

Abstract

In this paper, we define two generalisations of Dirac operators for Drinfeld's Hecke algebra. One generalisation, Parthasarathy operators inherit the notion of the Dirac inequality. The second generalisation, warped Dirac operators are such that every unitary module must have a non-zero warped Dirac cohomology. An open question is whether non-zero warped Dirac cohomology can determine the infinitesimal character akin to the fact that non-zero Dirac cohomology does. For a type $A$ Hecke algebra we give a family of operators in each class.
