Bowman, Chris, Hazi, Amit, Norton, Emily (2022) The modular Weyl–Kac character formula. Mathematische Zeitschrift, 302 (4). pp. 2207-2232. ISSN 1432-1823. (doi:10.1007/s00209-022-03084-7) (KAR id:98026)

Abstract

We classify and explicitly construct the irreducible graded representations of anti-spherical Hecke categories which are concentrated one degree. Each of these homogeneous representations is one-dimensional and can be cohomologically constructed via a BGG resolution involving every (infinite dimensional) standard representation of the category. We hence determine the complete first row of the inverse parabolic p-Kazhdan–Lusztig matrix for an arbitrary Coxeter group and an arbitrary parabolic subgroup. This generalises the Weyl–Kac character formula to all Coxeter systems (and their parabolics) and proves that this generalised formula is rigid with respect to base change to fields of arbitrary characteristic.
