Of course.
(file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name))
A quick way to discover commands is to type:
C-h f <first-few-letters> TAB
(C-h = Ctrl h)
so, to find out about file-* commands type:
C-h f file TAB
and keep pressing TAB to cycle through the numerous results in the
pop-up window.
Add some more letters and type TAB again to narrow your search and when
you've found a command you're interested in type RET.
There's also 'M-x apropos'.
(M-x = Alt-x or ESC-x)
Type 'C-h f apropos RET' to learn about the 'apropos' command.
