Abstract
Let $G$ be a finite group, $H \le G$ a subgroup, $R$ a commutative ring, $A$ an $R$-algebra, and $α$ an action of $G$ on $A$ by $R$-algebra automorphisms. We study the associated \emph{skew Hecke algebra} $\mathcal{H}_{R}(G,H,A,α)$, which is the convolution algebra of $H$-invariant functions from $G/H$ to $A$. We prove for skew Hecke algebras a number of common generalisations of results about skew group algebras and results about Hecke algebras of finite groups. We show that skew Hecke algebras admit a certain double coset decomposition. We construct an isomorphism from $\mathcal{H}_{R}(G,H,A,α)$ to the algebra of $G$-invariants in the tensor product $A \otimes \mathrm{End}_{R} ( \mathrm{Ind}_{H}^{G} R )$. We show that if $|H|$ is a unit in $A$, then $\mathcal{H}_{R}(G,H,A,α)$ is isomorphic to a corner ring inside the skew group algebra $A \rtimes G$. Alongside our main results, we show that the construction of skew Hecke algebras is compatible with certain group-theoretic operations, restriction and extension of scalars, certain cocycle perturbations of the action, gradings and filtrations, and the formation of opposite algebras. The main results are illustrated in the case where $G = S_3$, $H = S_2$, and $α$ is the natural permutation action of $S_3$ on the polynomial algebra $R[x_1,x_2,x_3]$.
Summary
This paper studies skew Hecke algebras, which generalize both skew group algebras and classical Hecke algebras of finite groups. The authors prove several fundamental structural results, including a double coset decomposition theorem and an isomorphism relating skew Hecke algebras to G-invariants in a tensor product of endomorphism rings. They also establish that under certain conditions, skew Hecke algebras embed as corner rings in skew group algebras. The construction is shown to be compatible with various algebraic operations including restriction/extension of scalars, gradings, and filtrations, with concrete illustrations using the symmetric group S₃.

Abstract.
Let G 𝐺 G be a finite group, H ≤ G 𝐻 𝐺 H\leq G a subgroup, R 𝑅 R a commutative ring, A 𝐴 A an R 𝑅 R -algebra, and α 𝛼 \alpha an action of G 𝐺 G on A 𝐴 A by R 𝑅 R -algebra automorphisms.
Following Baker, we associate to this data the skew Hecke algebra ℋ R ( G , H , A , α ) subscript ℋ 𝑅 𝐺 𝐻 𝐴 𝛼 \mathcal{H}_{R}(G,H,A,\alpha) , which is the convolution algebra of H 𝐻 H -invariant functions from G / H 𝐺 𝐻 G/H to A 𝐴 A .
In this paper we study the basic structure of these algebras, proving for skew Hecke algebras a number of common generalisations of results about skew group algebras and results about Hecke algebras of finite groups.
We show that skew Hecke algebras admit a certain double coset decomposition.
We construct an isomorphism from ℋ R ( G , H , A , α ) subscript ℋ 𝑅 𝐺 𝐻 𝐴 𝛼 \mathcal{H}_{R}(G,H,A,\alpha) to the algebra of G 𝐺 G -invariants in the tensor product A ⊗ End R ( Ind H G R ) tensor-product 𝐴 subscript End 𝑅 superscript subscript Ind 𝐻 𝐺 𝑅 A\otimes\mathrm{End}_{R}(\mathrm{Ind}_{H}^{G}R) .
We show that if | G | 𝐺 |G| is a unit in A 𝐴 A , then ℋ R ( G , H , A , α ) subscript ℋ 𝑅 𝐺 𝐻 𝐴 𝛼 \mathcal{H}_{R}(G,H,A,\alpha) is isomorphic to a corner ring inside the skew group algebra A ⋊ G right-normal-factor-semidirect-product 𝐴 𝐺 A\rtimes G .
Alongside our main results, we show that the construction of skew Hecke algebras is compatible with certain group-theoretic operations, restriction and extension of scalars, certain cocycle perturbations of the action, gradings and filtrations, and the formation of opposite algebras.
The main results are illustrated in the case where G = S 3 𝐺 subscript 𝑆 3 G=S_{3} , H = S 2 𝐻 subscript 𝑆 2 H=S_{2} , and α 𝛼 \alpha is the natural permutation action of S 3 subscript 𝑆 3 S_{3} on the polynomial algebra R [ x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ] 𝑅 subscript 𝑥 1 subscript 𝑥 2 subscript 𝑥 3 R[x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}] .
