Let G be a connected reductive group over a p-adic eld F. The study of

representations of G(F) naturally involves the pro-p-Iwahori-Heche algebra of

G(F). The pro-p-Iwahori-Hecke algebra is a deformation of the group algebra

of the pro-p-Iwahori Weyl group of G(F) with generic parameters. The pro-

p-Iwahori-Hecke algebra with zero parameters plays an important role in the

study of mod-p representations of G(F).

In a series of paper, Vigneras introduced a generic algebra HR(q~s; c~s) which

generalizes the pro-p-Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group. Vign-

eras also gave a basis of the center of HR(q~s; c~s) when HR(q~s; c~s) is associated

with a pro-p-Iwahori Weyl group. This basis is dened by using the Bernstein

presentation of HR(q~s; c~s) and the alcove walk. In this article, we restrict to

the case where q~s = 0 and give an explicit description of the center of HR(0; c~s)

using the Iwahori-Matsumoto presentation.

First, we introduce the generic algebra. Let W be the semidirect product of

a Coxeter group and a group acting on the Coxeter group and stabilizing the

generating set of the Coxeter group. Let W(1) be an extension of W with a

commutative group. Let R be a commutative ring. We give the denition of the

R-algebra HR(q~s; c~s) of W(1) with parameters (q~s; c~s). Then for any pair (v;w)

in W W with v w, we dene a linear operator rv;w between R-submodules

of HR(q~s; c~s). It takes some work to show that rv;w is well dened.

Next, we restrict W to be an IwahoriWeyl group. We show that the maximal

length terms of a central element in HR(q~s; c~s) is given by a union of nite

conjugacy classes in W(1). Then we prove some techical results regarding rv;w

acting on the maximal length terms of a central element in HR(q~s; c~s).

In the last part, we restrict to the case when q~s = 0 and give a explicit basis

of the center of HR(0; c~s) in the Iwahori-Matsumoto presentation by using the

operator rv;w. Two examples are given to help understand how this basis looks

like.
