The adjoint representation inside the exterior algebra of a simple Lie algebra

For a simple complex Lie algebra g$\mathfrak{g}$ we study the space of invariants A=(?g^?⊗g^?)^g$A={(?{\mathfrak{g}}^{?}\otimes {\mathfrak{g}}^{?})}^{\mathfrak{g}}$, which describes the isotypic component of type g$\mathfrak{g}$ in ?g^?$?{\mathfrak{g}}^{?}$, as a module over the algebra of invariants (?g^?)^g${(?{\mathfrak{g}}^{?})}^{\mathfrak{g}}$. As main result we prove that A   is a free module, of rank twice the rank of g$\mathfrak{g}$, over the exterior algebra generated by all primitive invariants in (?g^?)^g${(?{\mathfrak{g}}^{?})}^{\mathfrak{g}}$, with the exception of the one of highest degree.     

Integral bases for the universal enveloping algebras of map superalgebras

Let g$\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite dimensional complex simple classical Lie superalgebra and A   be a commutative, associative algebra with unity over C$\mathbb{C}$. In this paper we define an integral form for the universal enveloping algebra of the map superalgebra g⊗A$\mathfrak{g}\otimes A$, and exhibit an explicit integral basis for this integral form.     

Quantizations of Kac–Moody algebras

We analyze the extent to which a quantum universal enveloping algebra of a Kac–Moody algebra g$\mathfrak{g}$ is defined by multidegrees of its defining relations. To this end, we consider a class of character Hopf algebras defined by the same number of defining relations of the same degrees as the Kac–Moody algebra g$\mathfrak{g}$. We demonstrate that if the generalized Cartan matrix A$A$ of g$\mathfrak{g}$ is connected then the algebraic structure, up to a finite number of exceptional cases, is defined by just one “continuous” parameter q$q$ related to a symmetrization of A$A$, and one “discrete” parameter m$\mathfrak{m}$ related to the modular symmetrizations of A$A$. The Hopf algebra structure is defined by n(n−1)/2$n(n-1)/2$ additional “continuous” parameters. We also consider the exceptional cases for Cartan matrices of finite or affine types in more detail, establishing the number of exceptional parameter values in terms of the Fibonacci sequence.     

Test ideals of non-principal ideals: Computations,jumping numbers,alterations and division theorems

Given an ideal a⊆R$\mathfrak{a}\subseteq R$ in a (log) Q$\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein F  -finite ring of characteristic p>0$p>0$, we study and provide a new perspective on the test ideal τ(R,a^t)$\tau (R,{\mathfrak{a}}^t)$ for a real number t>0$t>0$. Generalizing a number of known results from the principal case, we show how to effectively compute the test ideal and also describe τ(R,a^t)$\tau (R,{\mathfrak{a}}^t)$ using (regular) alterations with a formula analogous to that of multiplier ideals in characteristic zero. We further prove that the F  -jumping numbers of τ(R,a^t)$\tau (R,{\mathfrak{a}}^t)$ as t varies are rational and have no limit points, including the important case where R is a formal power series ring. Additionally, we obtain a global division theorem for test ideals related to results of Ein and Lazarsfeld from characteristic zero, and also recover a new proof of Skoda's theorem for test ideals which directly mimics the proof for multiplier ideals.     

Factoriality for the reductive Zassenhaus variety and quantum enveloping algebra

Let U(g)$U(\mathfrak{g})$ be the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional reductive Lie algebra g$\mathfrak{g}$ over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. Let _U?,P(s:)$U_{?,P}(\mathfrak{s}:)$ be the simply connected quantum enveloping algebra at the root of unity ?  , of a complex semi-simple finite dimensional Lie algebra s:$\mathfrak{s}:$. We show, by similar proofs, that the centers of both are factorial. While the first result was established by R. Tange [32] (by different methods), the second one confirms a conjecture in [4]. We also provide a general criterion for the factoriality of the centers of enveloping algebras in prime characteristic.     

Description of extended eigenvalues and extended eigenvectors of integration operators on the Wiener algebra

In the present paper we consider the Volterra integration operator V   on the Wiener algebra W(D)$W(\mathbb{D})$ of analytic functions on the unit disc D$\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane C$\mathbb{C}$. A complex number λ$\lambda$ is called an extended eigenvalue of V if there exists a nonzero operator A   satisfying the equation AV=λVA$\mathit{AV}=\lambda \mathit{VA}$. We prove that the set of all extended eigenvalues of V   is precisely the set C?{0}$\mathbb{C}?\{0\}$, and describe in terms of Duhamel operators and composition operators the set of corresponding extended eigenvectors of V$V$. The similar result for some weighted shift operator on _?p${?}_p$ spaces is also obtained.     

Locally torsion-free quasi-coherent sheaves

Let X   be an arbitrary scheme. It is known that the category Qcoh(X)$\mathfrak{Qcoh}(X)$ of quasi-coherent sheaves admits arbitrary products. However its structure seems to be rather mysterious. In the present paper we will describe the structure of the product object of a family of locally torsion-free objects in Qcoh(X)$\mathfrak{Qcoh}(X)$, for X an integral scheme. Several applications are provided. For instance it is shown that the class of flat quasi-coherent sheaves on a Dedekind scheme X   is closed under arbitrary direct products, and that the class of all locally torsion-free quasi-coherent sheaves induces a hereditary torsion theory on Qcoh(X)$\mathfrak{Qcoh}(X)$. Finally torsion-free covers are shown to exist in Qcoh(X)$\mathfrak{Qcoh}(X)$.
