Representation theory of $\mathcal{W}$-algebras

We study the representation theory of the -algebra associated with a simple Lie algebra at level k. We show that the “-” reduction functor is exact and sends an irreducible module to zero or an irreducible module at any level k∈ℂ. Moreover, we show that the character of each irreducible highest weight representation of is completely determined by that of the corresponding irreducible highest weight representation of affine Lie algebra of . As a consequence we complete (for the “-” reduction) the proof of the conjecture of E. Frenkel, V. Kac and M. Wakimoto on the existence and the construction of the modular invariant representations of -algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991)  17B68, 81R10     

Bass Numbers of Local Cohomology Modules with Respect to an Ideal

Let be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let be an ideal of R. We give some inequalities between the Bass numbers of an R–module and those of its local cohomology modules with respect to . As an application of these inequalities, we recover results of Delfino-Marley and Kawasaki by showing that for a minimax R-module M and for any non-negative integer i, the Bass numbers of the ith local cohomology module are finite if one of the following holds:

Groupoid and inverse semigroup presentations of ultragraph C *-algebras

Inspired by the work of Paterson on C ^* -algebras of directed graphs, we show how to associate a groupoid to an ultragraph in such a way that the C ^*-algebra of is canonically isomorphic to Tomforde’s C ^*-algebra . The groupoid is built from an inverse semigroup naturally associated to . A.E. Marrero was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Sloan Foundation and by a GAANN Fellowship.

We show that the different labelings of the crystal graph for irreducible highest weight -modules lead to different labelings of the simple modules for non semisimple Ariki–Koike algebras by using Lusztig a-values. Presented by Peter Littelman.     

On some types of radical classes

Let be an infinite cardinal. We denote by the collection of all -representable Boolean algebras. Further, let be the collection of all generalized Boolean algebras B such that for each b ∈ B, the interval [0, b] of B belongs to . In this paper we prove that is a radical class of generalized Boolean algebras. Further, we investigate some related questions concerning lattice ordered groups and generalized MV-algebras.

Nonlinear Parabolic Equations with Regularized Derivatives in Colombeau Algebra

We consider several types of nonlinear parabolic equations with singular like potential and initial data. To prove the existence-uniqueness theorems we employ regularized derivatives. As a framework we use Colombeau space and Colombeau vector space      

The Inverse Resonance Problem for Hermite Operators

In this paper the inverse resonance problem for the Hermite operator is investigated. The Hermite operator with the creation operator , the annihilation operator , and a finitely supported multiplication operator b, is an unbounded operator on ℓ ²(ℕ₀) having finitely many eigenvalues and infinitely many resonances (except for b=0, when there are no eigenvalues or resonances). It is shown that knowing the location of eigenvalues and resonances determines the potential b uniquely.      

Periodic automorphisms of takiff algebras, contractions, and θ-groups

Let be an algebraic Lie algebra and a (generalised) Takiff algebra. Any finite-order automorphism θ of induces an automorphism of of the same order, denoted . We study invariant-theoretic properties of representations of the fixed point subalgebra of on other eigenspaces of in . We use the observation that, for special values of m, the fixed point subalgebra, , turns out to be a contraction of a certain Lie algebra associated with and θ.

Beurling Zeta Functions, Generalised Primes, and Fractal Membranes

We study generalised prime systems , with tending to infinity) and the associated Beurling zeta function . Under appropriate assumptions, we establish various analytic properties of , including its analytic continuation, and we characterise the existence of a suitable generalised functional equation. In particular, we examine the relationship between a counterpart of the Prime Number Theorem (with error term) and the properties of the analytic continuation of . Further we study ‘well-behaved’ g-prime systems, namely, systems for which both the prime and integer counting function are asymptotically well-behaved. Finally, we show that there exists a natural correspondence between generalised prime systems and suitable orders on . Some of the above results are relevant to the second author’s theory of ‘fractal membranes’, whose spectral partition functions are given by Beurling-type zeta functions, as well as to joint work of that author and R.

Hardy Spaces and bmo on Manifolds with Bounded Geometry

We develop the theory of the “local” Hardy space and John-Nirenberg space when M is a Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, building on the classic work of Fefferman-Stein and subsequent material, particularly of Goldberg and Ionescu. Results include – duality, L ^p estimates on an appropriate variant of the sharp maximal function, and bmo-Sobolev spaces, and action of a natural class of pseudodifferential operators, including a natural class of functions of the Laplace operator, in a setting that unifies these results with results on L ^p -Sobolev spaces. We apply results on these topics to some interpolation theorems, motivated in part by the search for dispersive estimates for wave equations.      

Versal deformations and versality in central extensions of Jacobi schemes

Let be the scheme of the laws defined by the Jacobi identities on with a field. A deformation of , parametrized by a local ring A, is a local morphism from the local ring of at ϕ _m to A. The problem of classifying all the deformation equivalence classes of a Lie algebra with given base is solved by “versal” deformations. First, we give an algorithm for computing versal deformations. Second, we prove there is a bijection between the deformation equivalence classes of an algebraic Lie algebra ϕ _m = R ⋉ φ _n in and its nilpotent radical φ _n in the R-invariant scheme with reductive part R, under some conditions. So the versal deformations of ϕ _m in are deduced from those of φ _n in , which is a more simple problem. Third, we study versality in central extensions of Lie algebras. Finally, we calculate versal deformations of some Lie algebras. Supported by the EC project Liegrits MCRTN 505078.     

Nilpotent Bicone and Characteristic Submodule of a Reductive Lie Algebra

Let be a finite-dimensional complex reductive Lie algebra and S() its symmetric algebra. The nilpotent bicone of is the subset of elements (x, y) of whose subspace generated by x and y is contained in the nilpotent cone. The nilpotent bicone is naturally endowed with a scheme structure, as nullvariety of the augmentation ideal of the subalgebra of generated by the 2-order polarizations of invariants of . The main result of this paper is that the nilpotent bicone is a complete intersection of dimension , where and are the dimensions of Borel subalgebras and the rank of , respectively. This affirmatively answers a conjecture of Kraft and Wallach concerning the nullcone [KrW2]. In addition, we introduce and study in this paper the characteristic submodule of . The properties of the nilpotent bicone and the characteristic submodule are known to be very important for the understanding of the commuting variety and its ideal of definition. The main difficulty encountered for this work is that the nilpotent bicone is not reduced. To deal with this problem, we introduce an auxiliary reduced variety, the principal bicone. The nilpotent bicone, as well as the principal bicone, are linked to jet schemes. We study their dimensions using arguments from motivic integration. Namely, we follow methods developed by Mustaţǎ in [Mu]. Finally, we give applications of our results to invariant theory.     

Stacks of Algebras and Their Homology

For any increasing function which takes only finitely many distinct values, a connected finite dimensional algebra is constructed, with the property that for all ; here is the -generated finitistic dimension of . The stacking technique developed for this construction of homological examples permits strong control over the higher syzygies of -modules in terms of the algebras serving as layers.

Special Quasigraded Lie Algebras and Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

We construct a family of special quasigraded Lie algebras of functions of one complex variables with values in finite-dimensional Lie algebra , labeled by the special 2-cocycles F on . The main property of the constructed Lie algebras is that they admit Kostant-Adler-Symes scheme. Using them we obtain new integrable finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems and new hierarchies of soliton equations.     

Graph von Neumann Algebras

In this paper, we will define a graph von Neumann algebra over a fixed von Neumann algebra M, where G is a countable directed graph, by a crossed product algebra = M × _α , where is the graph groupoid of G and α is the graph-representation. After defining a certain conditional expectation from onto its M-diagonal subalgebra we can see that this crossed product algebra is *-isomorphic to an amalgamated free product where = vN(M × _α where is the subset of consisting of all reduced words in {e, e ^–1} and M × _α is a W ^*-subalgebra of as a new graph von Neumann algebra induced by a graph G _e . Also, we will show that, as a Banach space, a graph von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to a Banach space ⊕ where is a certain subset of the set E(G)* of all words in the edge set E(G) of G.

Triebel-Lizorkin Spaces of Para-Accretive Type and a Tb Theorem

Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the boundedness of paraproduct operators. From this, we show that a generalized singular integral operator T with M _b TM _b ∈WBP is bounded from to if and only if and T ^* b=0 for , where ε is the regularity exponent of the kernel of T.
