Duality for Ext-groups and extensions of discrete series for graded Hecke algebras

In this paper, we study extensions of graded affine Hecke algebra modules. In particular, based on an explicit projective resolution on graded affine Hecke algebra modules, we prove a duality result for Ext-groups. This duality result with an Ind-Res resolution gives an algebraic proof of the fact that all higher Ext-groups between a tempered module and a discrete series vanish.
