DESCRIPTION:The double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) of type C has special p
 roperties (6 parameters!) and distinguished quotients. The Macdonald polyn
 omials for this Hecke algebra are the Koornwinder polynomials and the\nAsk
 ey-Wilson polynomials.  One interesting quotient of the DAHA is the two bo
 undary Temperley-Lieb algebra. The 2 boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra point
 s the way to a family of centralizer algebras which includes the 2 boundar
 y BMW (Birman-Murakami-Wenzl) algebras. This talk will be a medley of vign
 ettes \naround double affine type C braid groups and quotient algebras.\n
