Abstract.

Rosso and Green have shown how to embed the positive part U q () of a quantum enveloping algebra U q () in a quantum shuffle algebra. In this paper we study some properties of the image of the dual canonical basis B * of U q () under this embedding Φ. This is motivated by the fact that when is of type A r , the elements of Φ(B *) are q-analogues of irreducible characters of the affine Iwahori-Hecke algebras attached to the groups GL(m) over a p-adic field.
