Abstract

In this paper we give the symbolical formula and cancellation-free formula for the Schur elements associated to the simple modules of the degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras. As some applications, we show that the Schur elements are symmetric polynomials with rational integer coefficients and give a different proof of Ariki–Mathas–Rui’s criterion on the semisimplicity of the degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras.
