Idea

Double Hecke algebras or double affine Hecke algebras (DAHA) or Cherednik algebras are a particular class of multiparametric families of associative algebras; one parameter is qq and then there are 1 or more parameters t αt_\alpha where labels α\alpha depend on a root system. While Iwahori-Hecke algebra is a deformation of the group algebra of a Weyl group, DAHA are flat deformations of certain crossed product algebras (or twisted group algebras) involving Coxeter groups. Affine denotes the relation to affine Weyl group in DAHA case. Ivan Cherednik introduced DAHA in proving Macdonald conjecture?s about orthogonal polynomials attached to reduced root systems.

Notice that rational Cherednik algebras defined by Etingof and Ginzburg are not literally DAHAs, but certain degenerations of those and are a special case of symplectic reflection algebras.
