Two-sided cells of Weyl groups and certain splitting Whittaker polynomials

Fan Gao, Yannan Qiu

Abstract

Consider the subset of a Weyl group with a fixed descent set. For Weyl groups of classical types, we determine the number of two-sided cells this subset intersect. Moreover, we apply this result to prove that certain rational Whittaker polynomials associated with covering groups split over the field of rational numbers.

Moreover, we apply this result to prove that certain rational Whittaker polynomials associated with covering groups split over the field of rational numbers.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $\Delta$ be of type $A_r, B_r$ or $D_r$ and let $S_j \in \mathscr{P}(\Delta), 1\leqslant j \leqslant r-1$. Then the following data are determined explicitly: More precise results are tabulated in Tables T:A, T:B, T:D-odd and T:D-even.
