In Chapter 2 we determine that the possible eigenvalues of particular elements in the Yokonuma-Hecke Algebra acting on the module. In Chapter 3 we find determine module subspaces and eigenspaces that are isomorphic. In Chapter 4 we determine the structure of the q-eigenspace. In Chapter 5 we determine the spherical elements of the module.ETDIn CopyrightAffine Yokonuma–Hecke AlgebrasSpherical ElementsSpherical Elements in the Affine Yokonuma-Hecke AlgebraThesis
