Dirac induction for graded affine Hecke algebras (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In recent joint work with Dan Ciubotaru and Peter Trapa we
constructed a model for the discrete series representations of graded affine Hecke algebras as the index of a Dirac operator.
We discuss the K-theoretic meaning of this result, and the remarkable relation between elliptic character theory of a Weyl group and the ordinary character theory of its Pin cover.
