Homological properties of Sklyanin algebras

Summary. To a pair consisting of an elliptic curve and a point on it, Odeskii and Feigin associate certain quadratic algebras (“Sklyanin algebras”), having the Hilbert series of a polynomial algebra. In this paper we show that Sklyanin algebras have good homological properties and we obtain some information about their so-called linear modules. We also show how the construction by Odeskii and Feigin may be generalized so as to yield other “Sklyanin-type” algebras. Oblatum 25-XI-1993     

Hopf Algebras and Integrable Flows Related to the Heisenberg–Weil Coalgebra

On the basis of the structure of Casimir elements associated with general Hopf algebras, we construct Liouville–Arnold integrable flows related to naturally induced Poisson structures on an arbitrary coalgebra and their deformations. Some interesting special cases, including coalgebra structures related to the oscillatory Heisenberg–Weil algebra and integrable Hamiltonian systems adjoint to them, are considered.     

On self-adjoint representations of the sklyanin algebras

Self-adjoint representations in Hilbert space of a family of quadratic algebras constructed by E. K. Sklyanin are studied. Complete sets of classes of unitary equivalence of irreducible representations are obtained for algebras that correspond to second-order points of elliptic curves.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 11, pp. 1567–1574, November, 1991.     

The four-dimensional Sklyanin algebras

The four-dimensional Sklyanin algebras are certain noncommutative graded algebras having the same Hilbert series as the polynomial ring on four indeterminates. Their structure and representation theory is intimately connected with the geometry of an elliptic curve (and a fixed translation) embedded in ³. This is an account of the work done on these algebras over the past four years.Supported by NSF grant DMS-9100316.     

The isomorphism problem for some universal operator algebras

This paper addresses the isomorphism problem for the universal (non-self-adjoint) operator algebras generated by a row contraction subject to homogeneous polynomial relations. We find that two such algebras are isometrically isomorphic if and only if the defining polynomial relations are the same up to a unitary change of variables, and that this happens if and only if the associated subproduct systems are isomorphic. The proof makes use of the complex analytic structure of the character space, together with some recent results on subproduct systems. Restricting attention to commutative operator algebras defined by a radical ideal of relations yields strong resemblances with classical algebraic geometry. These commutative operator algebras turn out to be algebras of analytic functions on algebraic varieties. We prove a projective Nullstellensatz connecting closed ideals and their zero sets. Under some technical assumptions, we find that two such algebras are isomorphic as algebras if and only if they are similar, and we obtain a clear geometrical picture of when this happens. This result is obtained with tools from algebraic geometry, reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and some new complex-geometric rigidity results of independent interest. The C^?-envelopes of these algebras are also determined. The Banach-algebraic and the algebraic classification results are shown to hold for the wot-closures of these algebras as well.     

Nonautonomous Integrable Systems Associated with Hurwitz Spaces in Genuses Zero and One

Briefly outlining our recent work, we construct a family of nonautonomous integrable systems (deformations of the principal chiral model) in connection with the Hurwitz spaces of meromorphic functions on the Riemann sphere, cylinder, and torus. We give differential equations describing the dependence of the critical points of the rational, elliptic, and trigonometric functions on the critical values. We outline a relation to the deformation framework of Burtzev–Mikhailov–Zakharov.     

Quasi-Frobenius Algebras and Their Integrable N-Parameter Deformations Generated by Compatible N×N Metrics of Constant Riemannian Curvature

We prove that the equations describing compatible N×N metrics of constant Riemannian curvature define a special class of integrable N-parameter deformations of quasi-Frobenius (in general, noncommutative) algebras. We discuss connections with open–closed two-dimensional topological field theories, associativity equations, and Frobenius and quasi-Frobenius manifolds. We conjecture that open–closed two-dimensional topological field theories correspond to a special class of integrable deformations of associative quasi-Frobenius algebras.     

Calogero–FranÇoise Flows and Periodic Peakons

The completely integrable Hamiltonian systems discovered by Calogero and FranÇoise contain the finite-dimensional reductions of the Camassa–Holm and Hunter–Saxton equations. We show that the associated spectral problem has the same form as that of the periodic discrete Camassa–Holm equation. The flow is linearized by the Abel map on a hyperelliptic curve. For two-particle systems, which correspond to genus-1 curves, explicit solutions are obtained in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic functions.     

Weierstrass integrability of differential equations

The integrability problem consists of finding the class of functions a first integral of a given planar polynomial differential system must belong to. We recall the characterization of systems which admit an elementary or Liouvillian first integral. We define Weierstrass integrability and we determine some Weierstrass integrable systems which are Liouvillian integrable. Inside this new class of integrable systems there are non-Liouvillian integrable systems.     

Degenerate Sklyanin algebras and generalized twisted homogeneous coordinate rings

In this work, we introduce the point parameter ring B, a generalized twisted homogeneous coordinate ring associated to a degenerate version of the three-dimensional Sklyanin algebra. The surprising geometry of these algebras yields an analogue to a result of Artin–Tate–van den Bergh, namely that B is generated in degree one and thus is a factor of the corresponding degenerate Sklyanin algebra.     

Maximally Superintegrable Gaudin Magnet: A Unified Approach

A classical integrable Hamiltonian system is defined by an Abelian subalgebra (of suitable dimension) of a Poisson algebra, while a quantum integrable Hamiltonian system is defined by an Abelian subalgebra (of suitable dimension) of a Jordan–Lie algebra of Hermitian operators. We propose a method for obtaining large Abelian subalgebras inside the tensor product of free tensor algebras, and we show that there exist canonical morphisms from these algebras to Poisson algebras and Jordan–Lie algebras of operators. We can thus prove the integrability of some particular Hamiltonian systems simultaneously at both the classical and the quantum level. We propose a particular case of the rational Gaudin magnet as an example.     

Commutative Poisson Subalgebras for Sklyanin Brackets and Deformations of Some Known Integrable Models

We construct hierarchies of commutative Poisson subalgebras for Sklyanin brackets. Each of the subalgebras is generated by a complete set of integrals in involution. Some new integrable systems and schemes for separation of variables for them are elaborated using various well-known representations of the brackets. The constructed models include deformations for the Goryachev–Chaplygin top, the Toda chain, and the Heisenberg model.     

Growth,entropy and commutativity of algebras satisfying prescribed relations

In 1964, Golod and Shafarevich found that, provided that the number of relations of each degree satisfies some bounds, there exist infinitely dimensional algebras satisfying the relations. These algebras are called Golod–Shafarevich algebras. This paper provides bounds for the growth function on images of Golod–Shafarevich algebras based upon the number of defining relations. This extends results from Smoktunowicz and Bartholdi (Q J Math. doi:10.1093/qmath/hat005 2013) and Smoktunowicz (J Algebra 381:116–130, 2013). Lower bounds of growth for constructed algebras are also obtained, permitting the construction of algebras with various growth functions of various entropies. In particular, the paper answers a question by Drensky (A private communication, 2013) by constructing algebras with subexponential growth satisfying given relations, under mild assumption on the number of generating relations of each degree. Examples of nil algebras with neither polynomial nor exponential growth over uncountable fields are also constructed, answering a question by Zelmanov (2013). Recently, several open questions concerning the commutativity of algebras satisfying a prescribed number of defining relations have arisen from the study of noncommutative singularities. Additionally, this paper solves one such question, posed by Donovan and Wemyss (Noncommutative deformations and flops, ArXiv:1309.0698v2 [math.AG]).     

Soliton surfaces in the generalized symmetry approach

We investigate some features of generalized symmetries of integrable systems aiming to obtain the Fokas–Gel’fand formula for the immersion of two-dimensional soliton surfaces in Lie algebras. We show that if there exists a common symmetry of the zero-curvature representation of an integrable partial differential equation and its linear spectral problem, then the Fokas–Gel’fand immersion formula is applicable in its original form. In the general case, we show that when the symmetry of the zero-curvature representation is not a symmetry of its linear spectral problem, then the immersion function of the two-dimensional surface is determined by an extended formula involving additional terms in the expression for the tangent vectors. We illustrate these results with examples including the elliptic ordinary differential equation and the CP^N?1 sigma-model equation.     

Integrable elliptic pseudopotentials

We construct integrable pseudopotentials with an arbitrary number of fields in terms of an elliptic generalization of hypergeometric functions in several variables. These pseudopotentials are multiparameter deformations of ones constructed by Krichever in studying the Whitham-averaged solutions of the KP equation and yield new integrable (2+1)-dimensional systems of hydrodynamic type. Moreover, an interesting class of integrable (1+1)-dimensional systems described in terms of solutions of an elliptic generalization of the Gibbons-Tsarev system is related to these pseudopotentials.     

Construction of Separation Variables for Finite-Dimensional Integrable Systems

We consider a class of integrable systems such that solutions of the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi equation depend on n+m arbitrary parameters and are represented as products of flat curves. The first n parameters are identified with the values of the integrals of motion. The remaining parameters enter the definition of the integrals of motion as arbitrary constants (charges) and can be used to find separation variables. We show that on the coadjoint orbits of Lie groups, the Casimir operators not only generate a family of integrals but also allow constructing separation variables.     

Algebraic properties of Manin matrices 1

We study a class of matrices with noncommutative entries, which were first considered by Yu.I. Manin in 1988 in relation with quantum group theory. They are defined as “noncommutative endomorphisms” of a polynomial algebra. More explicitly their defining conditions read: (1) elements in the same column commute; (2) commutators of the cross terms are equal: [M_ij,M_kl]=[M_kj,M_il] (e.g. [M₁₁,M₂₂]=[M₂₁,M₁₂]). The basic claim is that despite noncommutativity many theorems of linear algebra hold true for Manin matrices in a form identical to that of the commutative case. Moreover in some examples the converse is also true, that is, Manin matrices are the most general class of matrices such that linear algebra holds true for them. The present paper gives a complete list and detailed proofs of algebraic properties of Manin matrices known up to the moment; many of them are new. In particular we provide complete proofs that an inverse to a Manin matrix is again a Manin matrix and for the Schur formula for the determinant of a block matrix; we generalize the noncommutative Cauchy–Binet formulas discovered recently arXiv:0809.3516, which includes the classical Capelli and related identities. We also discuss many other properties, such as the Cramer formula for the inverse matrix, the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, Newton and MacMahon–Wronski identities, Plücker relations, Sylvester's theorem, the Lagrange–Desnanot–Lewis Carroll formula, the Weinstein–Aronszajn formula, some multiplicativity properties for the determinant, relations with quasideterminants, calculation of the determinant via Gauss decomposition, conjugation to the second normal (Frobenius) form, and so on and so forth. Finally several examples and open question are discussed. We refer to [A. Chervov, G. Falqui, Manin matrices and Talalaev's formula, J. Phys. A 41 (2008) 194006; V. Rubtsov, A. Silantiev, D. Talalaev, Manin matrices, elliptic commuting families and characteristic polynomial of quantum gl_n elliptic Gaudin model, in press] for some applications in the realm of quantum integrable systems.     

Classical Symmetry Reductions of the Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries Equation in 2+1 Dimensions

Classical reductions of a (2+1)-dimensional integrable Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries equation are classified. These reductions to systems of partial differential equations in 1+1 dimensions admit symmetries that lead to further reductions, i.e., to systems of ordinary differential equations. All these systems have been reduced to second-order ordinary differential equations. We present some particular solutions involving two arbitrary functions.     

Gaudin models with irregular singularities

We introduce a class of quantum integrable systems generalizing the Gaudin model. The corresponding algebras of quantum Hamiltonians are obtained as quotients of the center of the enveloping algebra of an affine Kac-Moody algebra at the critical level, extending the construction of higher Gaudin Hamiltonians from B. Feigin et al. (1994) [17] to the case of non-highest weight representations of affine algebras. We show that these algebras are isomorphic to algebras of functions on the spaces of opers on P¹ with regular as well as irregular singularities at finitely many points. We construct eigenvectors of these Hamiltonians, using Wakimoto modules of critical level, and show that their spectra on finite-dimensional representations are given by opers with trivial monodromy. We also comment on the connection between the generalized Gaudin models and the geometric Langlands correspondence with ramification.     

Infinite-dimensional Lie algebras determined by the space of symmetric squares of hyperelliptic curves

We construct Lie algebras of vector fields on universal bundles of symmetric squares of hyperelliptic curves of genus g = 1, 2,.. For each of these Lie algebras, the Lie subalgebra of vertical fields has commuting generators, while the generators of the Lie subalgebra of projectable fields determines the canonical representation of the Lie subalgebra with generators L _2q , q = ?1, 0, 1, 2,.., of the Witt algebra. As an application, we obtain integrable polynomial dynamical systems.
