We define an analogue of the Casimir element for a graded affine Hecke algebra $$ \mathbb{H} $$ , and then introduce an approximate square-root called the Dirac element. Using it, we define the Dirac cohomology$H$^{$D$}($X$) of an $$ \mathbb{H} $$ -module$X$, and show that$H$^{$D$}($X$) carries a representation of a canonical double cover of the Weyl group $$ \widetilde{W} $$ . Our main result shows that the $$ \widetilde{W} $$ -structure on the Dirac cohomology of an irreducible $$ \mathbb{H} $$ -module$X$determines the central character of$X$in a precise way. This can be interpreted as$p$-adic analogue of a conjecture of Vogan for Harish-Chandra modules. We also apply our results to the study of unitary representations of $$ \mathbb{H} $$ .

We give interior estimates for first derivatives of solutions to a type of complex Monge-Ampère equations in convex domains. We also show global estimates for first derivatives of solutions in arbitrary domains. These global estimates are then used to show interior regularity of solutions to the complex Monge-Ampère equations in hyperconvex domains having a bounded exhaustion function which is globally Lipschitz. Finally we give examples of domains which have such an exhaustion function and domains which do not.

While two-dimensional symmetry-enriched topological phases (𝖲𝖤𝖳s) have been studied intensively and systematically, three-dimensional ones are still open issues. We propose an algorithmic approach of imposing global symmetry Gs on gauge theories (denoted by 𝖦𝖳) with gauge group Gg. The resulting symmetric gauge theories are dubbed "symmetry-enriched gauge theories" (𝖲𝖤𝖦), which may be served as low-energy effective theories of three-dimensional symmetric topological quantum spin liquids. We focus on 𝖲𝖤𝖦s with gauge group Gg=ℤN1×ℤN2×⋯ and on-site unitary symmetry group Gs=ℤK1×ℤK2×⋯ or Gs=U(1)×ℤK1×⋯. Each 𝖲𝖤𝖦(Gg,Gs) is described in the path integral formalism associated with certain symmetry assignment. From the path-integral expression, we propose how to physically diagnose the ground state properties (i.e., 𝖲𝖤𝖳 orders) of 𝖲𝖤𝖦s in experiments of charge-loop braidings (patterns of symmetry fractionalization) and the \emph{mixed} multi-loop braidings among deconfined loop excitations and confined symmetry fluxes. From these symmetry-enriched properties, one can obtain the map from 𝖲𝖤𝖦s to 𝖲𝖤𝖳s. By giving full dynamics to background gauge fields, 𝖲𝖤𝖦s may be eventually promoted to a set of new gauge theories (denoted by 𝖦𝖳∗). Based on their gauge groups, 𝖦𝖳∗s may be further regrouped into different classes each of which is labeled by a gauge group G∗g. Finally, a web of gauge theories involving 𝖦𝖳, 𝖲𝖤𝖦, 𝖲𝖤𝖳 and 𝖦𝖳∗ is achieved. We demonstrate the above symmetry-enrichment physics and the web of gauge theories through many concrete examples.
