Abstract:

Every reflection on a real or complex vector space extends to a graded algebra automorphism of the commutative polynomial ring of the space. We consider analogs for quantum polynomial rings: algebra automorphisms with graded trace behaving like that of a reflection. Additionally, we will dive into Quantum Drinfeld Hecke Algebras, variants of symplectic reflection algebras and Lusztig's graded Hecke algebras defined for quantum polynomial rings.
