Scattering matrices and affine Hecke algebras

Abstract

We construct the scattering matrices for an arbitrary Weyl group in terms of elementary operators which obey the generalised Yang-Baxter equation. We use this construction to obtain the affine Hecke algebras. The center of the affine Hecke algebras coincides with commuting Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians have q-deformed affine Lie algebras as symmetry algebra.Comment: 22 pages, harvmac, no figures, Lecture at Schladming, March 4,11 199
