Affine sl_p controls the representation theory of the symmetric group and related Hecke algebras

Abstract

In this paper we prove theorems that describe how the representation theory of the affine Hecke algebra of type A and of related algebras such as the group algebra of the symmetric group are controlled by integrable highest weight representations of the characteristic zero affine Lie algebra \hat{sl}_l. In particular we parameterise the representations of these algebras by the nodes of the crystal graph, and give various Hecke theoretic descriptions of the edges. As a consequence we find for each prime p a basis of the integrable representations of \hat{sl}_l which shares many of the remarkable properties, such as positivity, of the global crystal basis/canonical basis of Lusztig and Kashiwara. This {\it $p$-canonical basis} is the usual one when p = 0, and the crystal of the p-canonical basis is always the usual one. The paper is self-contained, and our techniques are elementary (no perverse sheaves or algebraic geometry is invoked).
