Stratified Langlands duality in the An tower
Stratified Langlands duality in the An tower
Let S_k denote a maximal torus in the complex Lie group G = SL_n(C)/C_k
and let T_k denote a maximal torus in its compact real form SU_n(C)/C_k, where k divides n. Let W denote the Weyl group of G, namely the symmetric group S_n. We elucidate the structure of the extended quotient S_k//W as an algebraic variety and of T_k//W as a topological space, in both cases describing them as bundles over unions of tori.
Corresponding to the invariance of K-theory under Langlands duality, this calculation
provides a homotopy equivalence between T_k//W and its dual T_n //W. Hence there is an isomorphism in cohomology for the extended quotients. Moreover this is stratified as a direct sum over conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. We derive a formula for the periodic cyclic homology of the group ring of an extended affine Weyl group in terms of these extended quotients and use our formulae to compute a number of examples of homology, cohomology and K-theory.

Abstract
Let S_k denote a maximal torus in the complex Lie group G = SL_n(C)/C_k
and let T_k denote a maximal torus in its compact real form SU_n(C)/C_k, where k divides n. Let W denote the Weyl group of G, namely the symmetric group S_n. We elucidate the structure of the extended quotient S_k//W as an algebraic variety and of T_k//W as a topological space, in both cases describing them as bundles over unions of tori.
Corresponding to the invariance of K-theory under Langlands duality, this calculation
provides a homotopy equivalence between T_k//W and its dual T_n //W. Hence there is an isomorphism in cohomology for the extended quotients. Moreover this is stratified as a direct sum over conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. We derive a formula for the periodic cyclic homology of the group ring of an extended affine Weyl group in terms of these extended quotients and use our formulae to compute a number of examples of homology, cohomology and K-theory.
