Quiver-graded Richardson orbits

In Lie theory, a dense orbit in the nilpotent radical of a parabolic group under the operation of the parabolic is called a Richardson orbit. We define a quiver-graded version of Richardson orbits generalizing the classical definition in the case of the general linear group. We define a quasi-hereditary algebra called the nilpotent quiver algebra whose isomorphism classes of Δ-filtered modules correspond to orbits in our generalized setting. We translate the existence of a Richardson orbit into the existence of a rigid Δ-filtered module of a given dimension vector. We study an idempotent recollement of this algebra whose associated intermediate extension functor can be used to produce Richardson orbits in some situations. This can be explicitly calculated in examples. We also give examples where no Richardson orbit exists.     

SHEETS IN SYMMETRIC LIE ALGEBRAS AND SLICE INDUCTION

In this paper, we study sheets of symmetric Lie algebras through their Slodowy slices. In particular, we introduce a notion of slice induction of nilpotent orbits which coincides with the parabolic induction in the Lie algebra case. We also study in more detail the sheets of the non-trivial symmetric Lie algebra of type G₂. We characterize their singular loci and provide a nice desingularization lying in so ₇.     

Characters of modular torsion free representations of classical lie algebras

In this paper, we analyze the characters of modular, irreducible rep-resentations of classical Lie algebras g of types A_l-1 and Ci arising from a characteristic 0 construction of torsion free representations. By character, we refer to linear functionals on g identified with algebra homomorphisms from a distinguished central subalgebra O of the universal enveloping algebra of g. If Lie(G') = g, then for each character X standard representatives with respect to a fixed toral subalgebra are found in the (2-orbit containing the character X For many parameters, these characters are nilpotent. Furthermore, modular representations of type A_l-1 and type C_l Lie algebras constructed by induction from these irreducible, torsion free representations are shown to admit characters in a family of both Richardson and non-Richardson nilpotent orbits. Through this explicit induction construction, irreducible representations of minimal p-power dimension under the Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture are realized     

Categorified central extensions, étale Lie 2-groups and Lie?s Third Theorem for locally exponential Lie algebras

Lie?s Third Theorem, asserting that each finite-dimensional Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group, fails in infinite dimensions. The modern account on this phenomenon is the integration problem for central extensions of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which in turn is phrased in terms of an integration procedure for Lie algebra cocycles.This paper remedies the obstructions for integrating cocycles and central extensions from Lie algebras to Lie groups by generalising the integrating objects. Those objects obey the maximal coherence that one can expect. Moreover, we show that they are the universal ones for the integration problem.The main application of this result is that a Mackey-complete locally exponential Lie algebra (e.g., a Banach–Lie algebra) integrates to a Lie 2-group in the sense that there is a natural Lie functor from certain Lie 2-groups to Lie algebras, sending the integrating Lie 2-group to an isomorphic Lie algebra.     

Spherical orbits and representations of Uε(g)

Let U_ε(g) be the simply connected quantized enveloping algebra at roots of one associated to a finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebra g. The De Concini-Kac-Procesi conjecture on the dimension of the irreducible representations of U_ε(g) is proved for the representations corresponding to the spherical conjugacy classes of the simply connected algebraic group G with Lie algebra g. We achieve this result by means of a new characterization of the spherical conjugacy classes of G in terms of elements of the Weyl group.     

Irreducible Representations for the Baby Tits–Kantor–Koecher Algebra

The baby Tits–Kantor–Koecher (TKK) algebra constructed from the smallest (nonlattice) semilattice is related to the “smallest” extended affine Lie algebras other than the finite dimensional simple Lie algebras and the affine Kac–Moody algebras. In this article, we classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations for the baby TKK algebra. It turns out that such representations can be lifted from modules of direct sums of finitely many copies of the simple Lie algebra sp ₄(?).     

A pathwise solution for nonlinear parabolic equations with stochastic perturbations

We analyse here a semilinear stochastic partial differential equation of parabolic type where the diffusion vector fields are depending on both the unknown function and its gradient ∂ _xu with respect to the state variable, ∈ ℝⁿ. A local solution is constructed by reducing the original equation to a nonlinear parabolic one without stochastic perturbations and it is based on a finite dimensional Lie algebra generated by the given diffusion vector fields.     

Representation theoretic harmonic spinors for coherent families

Coherent continuation π ₂ of a representation π ₁ of a semisimple Lie algebra arises by tensoring π ₁ with a finite dimensional representation F and projecting it to the eigenspace of a particular infinitesimal character. Some relations exist between the spaces of harmonic spinors (involving Kostant’s cubic Dirac operator and the usual Dirac operator) with coefficients in the three modules. For the usual Dirac operator we illustrate with the example of cohomological representations by using their construction as generalized Enright-Varadarajan modules. In [9] we considered only discrete series, which arises as generalized Enright-Varadarajan modules in the particular case when the parabolic subalgebra is a Borel subalgebra.     

On the codimension growth of almost nilpotent Lie algebras

We study codimension growth of infinite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if a Lie algebra L is an extension of a nilpotent algebra by a finite dimensional semisimple algebra then the PI-exponent of L exists and is a positive integer.     

A Characterization of Stem Algebras in Terms of Central Derivations

Let L be a Lie algebra, and Der _z (L) denote the set of all central derivations of L, that is, the set of all derivations of L mapping L into the center. In this paper, by using the notion of isoclinism, we study the center of Der _z (L) for nilpotent Lie algebras with nilindex 2. We also give a characterization of stem Lie algebras by their central derivations. In fact we show that for non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebras of finite dimension and any nilpotent Lie algebra with nilindex 2 (not finite dimensional in general), Der _z (L) is abelian if and only if L is a stem Lie algebra.     

Polynome de Hilbert-Samuel dans les algebres enveloppantes et les algebres de groupe

An analogue of the Hilbert-Samuel polynomial is considered with respect to the augmentation ideal of the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra and the group ring of a finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent group. Then, the Hilbert series of finitely generated modules are rational.      

Finite dimensional representations of the double affine Hecke algebra of rank 1

We classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) of type C^∨C₁ in the case when q is not a root of unity.     

On simple modules over conformal Galilei algebras

We study irreducible representations of two classes of conformal Galilei algebras in 1-spatial dimension. We construct a functor which transforms simple modules with nonzero central charge over the Heisenberg subalgebra into simple modules over the conformal Galilei algebras. This can be viewed as an analogue of oscillator representations. We use oscillator representations to describe the structure of simple highest weight modules over conformal Galilei algebras. We classify simple weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over finite dimensional Heisenberg algebras and use this classification and properties of oscillator representations to classify simple weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over conformal Galilei algebras.     

Cochains and homotopy type

Finite type nilpotent spaces are weakly equivalent if and only if their singular cochains are quasi-isomorphic as E_∞ algebras. The cochain functor from the homotopy category of finite type nilpotent spaces to the homotopy category of E_∞ algebras is faithful but not full.     

Extended Deligne–Lusztig varieties for general and special linear groups

We give a generalisation of Deligne–Lusztig varieties for general and special linear groups over finite quotients of the ring of integers in a non-archimedean local field. Previously, a generalisation was given by Lusztig by attaching certain varieties to unramified maximal tori inside Borel subgroups. In this paper we associate a family of so-called extended Deligne–Lusztig varieties to all tamely ramified maximal tori of the group.Moreover, we analyse the structure of various generalised Deligne–Lusztig varieties, and show that the “unramified” varieties, including a certain natural generalisation, do not produce all the irreducible representations in general. On the other hand, we prove results which together with some computations of Lusztig show that for SL₂(Fq???/(?²)), with odd q, the extended Deligne–Lusztig varieties do indeed afford all the irreducible representations.     

Representations of Gan–Ginzburg algebras

Given a quiver, a fixed dimension vector, and a positive integer n, we construct a functor from the category of D-modules on the space of representations of the quiver to the category of modules over a corresponding Gan–Ginzburg algebra of rank n. When the quiver is affine Dynkin, we obtain an explicit construction of representations of the corresponding wreath product symplectic reflection algebra of rank n. When the quiver is star-shaped, but not finite Dynkin, we use this functor to obtain a Lie-theoretic construction of representations of a “spherical” subalgebra of the Gan–Ginzburg algebra isomorphic to a rational generalized double affine Hecke algebra of rank n. Our functors are a generalization of the type A and type BC functors from [1] and [4], respectively.     

Ideals of identities of representations of nilpotent lie algebras

Let L be a Lie algebra, nilpotent of class 2, over an infinite field K, and suppose that the centre C of L is one dimensional; such Lie algebras are called Heisenberg algebras. Let ρ:L→hom _KV be a finite dimensional representation of the Heisenberg algebra L such that ρ(C) contains non-singular linear transformations of V, and denote l(ρ) the ideal of identities for the representation ρ. We prove that the ideals of identities of representations containing I(ρ) and generated by multilinear polynomials satisfy the ACC. Let sl ₂(L) be the Lie algebra of the traceless 2×2 matrices over K, and suppose the characteristic of K equals 2. As a corollary we obtain that the ideals of identities of representations of Lie algebras containing that of the regular representation of sl ₂(K) and generated by multilinear polynomials, are finitely based. In addition we show that one cannot simply dispense with the condition of multilinearity. Namely, we show that the ACC is violated for the ideals of representations of Lie algebras (over an infinite field of characteristic 2) that contain the identities of the regular representation of sl ₂(K).
