In this thesis, we extend the construction of the formal (affine) Demazure algebra due to Hoffnung, Malagón-López, Savage and Zainoulline in two directions. First, we introduce and study the notion of formal Demazure lattices of a Kac-Moody root system and show that the definitions and properties of the formal (affine) Demazure operators and algebras hold for such lattices. Second, we show that for the hyperbolic formal group law the formal Demazure algebra is isomorphic (after extending the coefficients) to the Hecke algebra.

Unter der Voraussetzung, dass q keine Einheitswurzel ist und dass die Differentiale duij der Fundamentalmatrix den Linksmodul der 1-Formen erzeugen, werden die bikovarianten Differentialkalküle auf den Quantengruppen SLq(N), Oq(N) und Spq(N) klassifiziert. Es wird gezeigt, dass es auf den Quantengruppen SLq(N), N ≥ 3, abgesehen von eindimensionalen Kalkülen und endlich vielen Werten von q genau 2N bikovariante Differentialkalküle gibt. Diese Kalküle haben die Dimension N². Für die Quantengruppen Oq(N) und Spq(N), N ≥ 3, gibt es unter den genannten Voraussetzungen bis auf endlich viele Werte von q genau zwei bikovariante Differentialkalküle der Dimension N². Die Bimodulstruktur der Kalküle sowie die zugeordneten ad-invarianten Rechtsideale werden explizit angegeben. Für die Quantengruppen SLq(N), N ≥ 3, wird gezeigt, dass es, sofern q keine Einheitwurzel ist, genau 2N² + 2N bikovariante Bimoduln vom Typ (u^c u; f) gibt. / If q is not a root of unity and under the assumption that the differentials duij of the fundamental matrix (uij) generate the left module of 1-forms, all bicovariant differential calculi on quantum groups SLq(N), Oq(N) and Spq(N) are classified. It is shown that on quantum groups SLq(N), N ≥ 3, except of 1-dimensional calculi and finitely many values of q, thre are exactly 2N bicovariant differential calculi. The space of invariant forms has dimension N². For quantum groups Oq(N) and Spq(N), N ≥ 3, under the same assumptions and up to finitely many values of q, there are exactly two bicovariant differential calculi of dimension N². The bimodule structure of the calculi as well as the corresponding ad-invariant right ideals are explicitely described. For quantum groups SLq(N), N ≥ 3, there are exactly 2N² + 2N bicovariant bimodules of type (u^c u; f) provided q is not a root of unity.

We establish a strong connection between buildings and Hecke algebras through the study of two algebras of averaging operators on buildings. To each locally finite regular building we associate a natural algebra B of chamber set averaging operators, and when the building is affine we also define an algebra A of vertex set averaging operators. In the affine case, it is shown how the building gives rise to a combinatorial and geometric description of the Macdonald spherical functions, and of the centers of affine Hecke algebras. The algebra homomorphisms from A into the complex numbers are studied, and some associated spherical harmonic analysis is conducted. This generalises known results concerning spherical functions on groups of p-adic type. As an application of this spherical harmonic analysis we prove a local limit theorem for radial random walks on affine buildings.

The Iwahori-Hecke algebras of Coxeter groups play a central role in the study of representations of semisimple Lie-type groups. An important tool is the combinatorial approach to representations of Iwahori-Hecke algebras introduced by Kazhdan and Lusztig in 1979. In this dissertation, I discuss a generalization of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group that is instead based on the complex reflection group G(r,1,n). Using the analogues of Kazhdan and Lusztig's R-polynomials, I show that this algebra determines a partial order on G(r,1,n) that generalizes the Chevalley-Bruhat order on the symmetric group. I also consider possible analogues of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.

This thesis establishes a framework for cellularity of algebras related to the Jones basic construction. The framework allows a uniform proof of cellularity of Brauer algebras, BMW algebras, walled Brauer algebras, partition algebras, and others. In this setting, the cellular bases are labeled by paths on certain branching diagrams rather than by tangles. Moreover, for this class of algebras, the cellular structures are compatible with restriction and induction of modules.

This thesis deals with the study of Schubert varieties, which are subsets of flag varieties indexed by elements of Weyl groups. We start by defining Lascoux elements in the Hecke algebra, and showing that they coincide with the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis elements in certain cases. We then construct a resolution (Zw, π) of the Schubert variety Xw for which Rπ*(C[l(w)]) is a sheaf on Xw whose expression in the Hecke algebra is closely related to the Lascoux element. We also define two new polynomials which coincide with the intersection cohomology Poincar\'e polynomial in certain cases. In the final chapter, we discuss some interesting combinatorial results concerning Bell and Catalan numbers which arose throughout the course of this work.

Les masures ont été introduites en 2008 par Gaussent et Rousseau afin d’étudier les groupes de Kac-Moody sur les corps locaux. Elles généralisent les immeubles de Bruhat-Tits. Dans cette thèse, j’étudie d’une part les propriétés des masures et d’autre part leurs applications en arithmétique et en théorie des représentations. Rousseau a donné une définition axiomatique des masures, inspirée par la définition de Tits des immeubles de Bruhat-Tits. Je propose une axiomatique plus simple et plus agréable à manipuler et je montre que mon axiomatique est équivalente à celle de Rousseau.Nous étudions (en collaboration avec Ramla Abdellatif) les algèbres de Hecke sphériques et d’Iwahori-Hecke introduites par Bardy-Panse, Gaussent et Rousseau. Nous démontrons que contrairement au cas réductif, le centre de leur algèbre d’Iwahori-Hecke est quasiment trivial, et n’est en particulier pas isomorphe à l’algèbre de Hecke sphérique. Nous introduisons donc une algèbre d’Iwahori-Hecke complétée, dont le centre est isomorphe à l’algèbre de Hecke sphérique. Nous associons aussi des algèbres de Hecke à des faces sphériques comprises entre 0 et l’alcôve fondamentale de la masure,généralisant la construction de Bardy-Panse, Gaussent et Rousseau de l’algèbre d’Iwahori-Hecke.La formule de Gindikin-Karpelevich est une formule importante dans la théorie des groupes réductifs sur les corps locaux. Récemment, Braverman,Garland, Kazhdan, et Patnaik ont généralisé cette formule au cas des groupes de Kac-Moody affines. Une partie importante de leur preuve consiste à montrer que cette formule est bien définie, c’est à dire que les nombres intervenants dans cette formule, qui sont les cardinaux de certains sous groupes de quotients du groupe étudié sont bien finis. Je démontre cette finitude dans le cas des groupes de Kac-Moody généraux. J’étudie aussi les distances sur une masure. Je montre qu’on ne peux pas avoir de distance ayant les mêmes propriétés que dans le cas réductif. Je construis des distances ayant des propriétés moins forte mais qui semblent intéressantes. / Masures were introduced in 2008 by Gaussent and Rousseau in order to study Kac-Moody groups over local fields. They generalize Bruhat-Tits buildings. In this thesis, I study the properties of masures and the application of the theory of masures in arithmetic and representation theory. Rousseau gave an axiomatic of masures, inspired by the definition by Tits of Bruhat-Tits buildings. I propose an axiomatic, which is simpler and easyer to handle and I prove that my axiomatic is equivalent to the one of Rousseau. We study (in collaboration with Ramla Abdellatif) the spherical and Iwahori-Hecke algebras introduced by Bardy-Panse, Gaussent and Rousseau. We prove that on the contrary to the reductive case, the center of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra is almost trivial and is in particular not isomorphic to the spherical Hecke algebra. We thus introduce a completed Iwahori-Hecke algebra, whose center is isomorphic to the spherical Hecke algebra. We also associate Hecke algebras to spherical faces between 0 and the fundamental alcove of the masure, generalizing the construction of Bardy-Panse, Gaussent and Rousseau of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra.The Gindikin-Karpelevich formula is an important formula in the theory of reductive groups over local fields. Recently, Braverman, Garland, Kazhdanand Patnaik generalized this formula to the case of affine Kac-Moody groups. An important par of their prove consists in proving that this formula iswell-defined, which means that the numbers involved in this formula, which are the cardinals of certain subgroup of quotients of the studied subgroupare finite. I prove this finiteness in the case of general Kac-Moody groups.I also study distances on a masure. I prove that there is no distance having the same properties as in the reductive case. I construct distances having weaker properties, but which seem interesting.
