The polynomial representation of the type $A_{n - 1}$ rational Cherednik algebra in characteristic $p \mid n$

Abstract

We study the polynomial representation of the rational Cherednik algebra of type $A_{n-1}$ with generic parameter in characteristic $p$ for $p \mid n$. We give explicit formulas for generators for the maximal proper graded submodule, show that they cut out a complete intersection, and thus compute the Hilbert series of the irreducible quotient. Our methods are motivated by taking characteristic $p$ analogues of existing characteristic $0$ results.
