This paper tries to figures out what the heck is going on in all these different Hecke algebra modular representation worlds.
2.1.1 Let be a finite Weyl group and let be the length of The Iwahori-Hecke algebra is the algebra with basis and multiplication determined by the relations for simple reflections in Setting for we have Define a involution by The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for are defined by finding the unique elements of such that These are renormalized versions of the original Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials defined in [KL1]: If then Note that
2.1.2 If is replaced by an affine Weyl group then ??? defines the affine Hecke algebra and the resulting polynomials are the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the affine Weyl group
2.1.3 Let be an affine Weyl group and let be the corresponding finite Weyl group. Let be the set of alcoves for the hyperplane arrangement of which are in the dominant chamber. The minimal length representatives of cosets in are in bijection with the alcoves in the dominant chamber via where is the fundamental alcove for the affine Weyl group. The "sign" representation of is given by (i.e. and the module has basis indexed by the alcoves in Define an involution on by ??? and For each there is a unique element such that The polynomials are the parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for corresponding to the sign representation of Soergel [Soe1998, Prop 3.4] proves the following identity of Deodhar [Dd],

2.2.2 The negative part of the quantum group associated to the graph is the algebra defined by generators indexed by the nodes of the graph, and by relations where is the number of edges connecting and in the graph.
2.2.3 These positive roots for are These roots can be identified with pairs of integers where and via The algebra has a PBW indexed by nonegative linear combinations of positive roots and these linear combinations correspond to the description of aperiodic multisegments as sums of indecomposable representations of the quiver.
2.2.4 By [Lus1998, Cor. 13.6] and [Lus1998, Cor 15.6] the canonical basis of is indexed by a subset of the aperiodic multisegments. On the other hand the PBW basis of is indexed by the set of aperiodic multisegments comparing dimensions (of graded components) allows one to conclude that the canonical basis is indexed by the set of aperiodic multisegments.
2.2.5 By [Lus1989-2, Cor. 10.7] the transition matrix between the canonical basis of the negative part of the quantum group and the PBW basis is given by the Poincaré polynomials of the intersection cohomology sheaves for the quiver variety.
If and let be the corresponding sum of indecomposable representations of the quiver and let denote the corresponding orbit in Let where and the order of the product and the definition of the are with respect to a fixed choice of reduced decomposition of

CHECK THIS WITH LUSZTIG'S BOOK. Alternatively, [Lus1998, 2.2] we may define
2.2.6 Theorem ??? shows that these polynomials are Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the affine symmetric groups The correspondence is made precise and summarized in the following theorem.
Let be a vector space. Define for with and fix the sequence of lattices Let be a nilpotent representation of the quiver on the graded vector space Define the flag by This map has image in the subvariety of the affine flag variety given by
2.2.7 Define the canonical basis of here.

(a) | Let and be multisegments and let and be the corresponding elements of the PBW-basis and the canonical basis of respectively. Then where are the Kazhdan-Lusztig poylnomials of the symmetric group |
(b) | Let and be aperiodic multisegments and let and be the corresponding elements of the PBW-basis and the canonical basis of respectively. Then where are the Kazhdan-Lusztig poylnomials of the affine Weyl group |
2.2.9 By [Lus1998, Cor. 11.8] the canonical basis "descends" to the modules
Assume that is an root of unity and where are the parameters of The generalized Fock space is the module given by with basis indexed by multipartitions with components and with action where The irreducible highest weight module is the submodule of generated by the highest weight vector (of weight Define a involution on by for The canonical basis of is determined by the conditions
The canonical basis of corresponds to the simple modules of the algebras where the parameters in these algebras are determined by The Verma module has canonical basis in correspondence with the canonical basis of since The canonical basis of corresponds to the simple modules of the affine Hecke algebras and the PBW basis corresponds to the standard modules of Viewing as a quotient corresponds to restricting from modules to Under this restriction the PBW basis corresponds to the Specht modules of This gives an indexing of the Specht modules by aperiodic multisegments, and this corresponds (CHECK THIS) to the Jimbo indexing of the canonical basis of
Let be a multipartition. In successively pair each unpaired addable node of content with the nearest higher unpaired removable node of content (if it exists) until there are no more possible pairings. If it exists, a good node of content is the highest unpaired node of content after pairing the addable and removable nodes of content Highest means that the node has maximal content among unpaired nodes in the partition with minimal. It would be best to define an ordering on the boxes??? A Kleshchev multipartition is an of partitions such that one obtains after consecutively removing good nodes. This definition is obtained by thinking of the crystal graph of as
The canonical basis of is indexed by the Kleshchev multipartitions
Let be the parameters of the Ariki-Koike algebra Assume that the are integers (we can always reduce to this case).
A cylindrical multipartition is a multipartition such that for each A cylindrical multipartition is if it is an aperiodic multisegment.
In this case the top element of the crystal graph is The rule for adding boxes is the same as in the Kleshchev case except that order of reading the addable and removable nodes is different.
The canonical basis of is indexed by the cylindrical multisemgments.
The isomorphism gives the correpondence between the Jimbo parametrization by aperiodic multisegments and the parametrization of the nodes of the crystal graph by Kleshchev multipartitions.
Goodman and Wenzl prove "directly" that the polynomials which describe the canonical basis are the same as parabolic KL polynomials by doing the appropriate matching up and then showing that they are both computed by the same algorithm. The algorithm is essentially that given by adding a single box at a time (applying a sequence of induction functors) and computing the canonical basis inductively. The matching up is given as follows.
Consider the Fock space module for the quantum group The canonical basis of this module is indexed by regular partitions The truncated Fock space has basis labeled by the regular partitions with Identify these with dominant integral weights of by letting Associate partitions to weights of by
The affine Weyl group of type is the reflection group defined by the hyperplane arrangement in the space Let and be the affine and Iwahori-Hecke algebras corresponding to and respectively. Let be the set of alcoves in the dominant chamber and consider the module with basis so that the action is given by where the action of on alcoves is given by
The elements of are and The nonextended affine Weyl group is Thus has coset representatives We need to identify these elements with alcoves. Note that acts as translation by and permutes the coordinates.
If then Note that translating by with corresponds to removing boxes from a row of and placing them on a lower row. Since we must remove more boxes from the first row than the second, more from the second than the third, etc. The resulting sequence should be in the "fundamental hexagon" i.e. Then a permutation of this will put the result in the fundamental alcove and yield
A partition is if it has no more than rows of any given length. (The conjugate condition, that has no more than columns of any given length, is called and says that is in the compact torus

Question: In what sense is the of a partition the fundamental alcove representative of the orbit of under the dot action?

In the generic case, when the algebra is semisimple the irreducible representations are indexed by of partitions with boxes total. One can construct an integral form of the Ariki-Koike algebra and an integral form of the module so that the module can be defined for the algebra for any choice of This module is called the Specht module for the algebra (though it ought to be called a Young module).

Under this identification the simple modules form the canonical basis of and the standard modules form the "PBW" basis. There is an inner product on the quantum group which should "become" the inner product/Jantzen filtrations on modules for the affine Hecke algebra.
