THE HECKE ALGEBRA REPRESENTATION OF THE COMPLEX REFLECTION GROUP IS UNITARY
We consider a 2-dimensional representation of the Hecke algebra where is the complex reflection group and u is the set ofindeterminates Afterspecializing the indeterminates to non-zero complex numbers on the unit circle, we prove that the representation is unitary relative to a Hermitian positive definite matrix. We then determine a necessary and sufficient condition for an element of to belong to the kernel of the complex specialization of the representation of the Hecke algebra
