The Calogero-Moser partition for G(m, d, n)

We show that it is possible to deduce the Calogero-Moser partition of the irreducible representations of the complex reflection groups G(m,d, n) from the corresponding partition for G(m,1,n). This confirms, in the case W = G(m,d,n), a conjecture of Gordon and Martino relating the Calogero-Moser partition to Rouquier families for the corresponding cyclotomic Hecke algebra.

On the centre of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra of G(m, 1, 2)

We compute the centre of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra attached to G(m, 1, 2) and show that if q ≠ 1, it is equal to the image of the centre of the affine Hecke algebra Haff2. We also briefly discuss what is known about the relation between the centre of an arbitrary cyclotomic Hecke algebra and the centre of the affine Hecke algebra of type A.

ON REPRESENTATIONS OF CYCLOTOMIC HECKE ALGEBRAS

An approach, based on Jucys–Murphy elements, to the representation theory of cyclotomic Hecke algebras is developed. The maximality (in the cyclotomic Hecke algebra) of the set of the Jucys–Murphy elements is established. A basis of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra is suggested; this basis is used to establish the flatness of the deformation without using the representation theory.
