We prove that a constrained Willmore immersion of a 2–torus into the conformal 4–sphere S4 is of “finite type”, that is, has a spectral curve of finite genus, or of “holomorphic type” which means that it is super conformal or Euclidean minimal with planar ends in R4 = S4\{1} for some point 1 2 S4 at infinity. This implies that all constrained Willmore tori in S4 can be constructed rather explicitly by methods of complex algebraic geometry. The proof uses quaternionic holomorphic geometry in combination with integrable systems methods similar to those of Hitchin’s approach [19] to the study of harmonic tori in S3.

We introduce the$generic central character$of an irreducible discrete series representation of an affine Hecke algebra. Using this invariant we give a new classification of the irreducible discrete series characters for all abstract affine Hecke algebras (except for the types ${E_{n}^{(1)}}$ , n=6, 7, 8) with$arbitrary positive parameters$and we prove an explicit product formula for their formal degrees (in all cases).
