TWISTS OF RATIONAL CHEREDNIK ALGEBRAS

Abstract

We show that braided Cherednik algebras introduced by Bazlov and Berenstein are cocycle twists of rational Cherednik algebras of the imprimitive complex reflection groups G(m, p, n), when m is even. This gives a new construction of mystic reflection groups which have Artin–Schelter regular rings of quantum polynomial invariants. As an application of this result, we show that a braided Cherednik algebra has a finite-dimensional representation if and only if its rational counterpart has one.
