On the Automorphism Group of the First Weyl Algebra

Let A ₁: = 𝕜[t, ?] be the first algebra over a field 𝕜 of characteristic zero. Let Aut_𝕜(A ₁) be the automorphism group of the ring A ₁. One can associate to each right ideal I of A ₁ a subgroup of Aut_𝕜(A ₁) called the isomorphism subgroup of I. In this article, we show that each such isomorphism subgroup is equal to its normalizer. For that, we study when the isomorphism subgroup of a right ideal of A ₁ contains a given isomorphism subgroup.

Isomorphism problems and groups of automorphisms for generalized Weyl algebras

We present solutions to isomorphism problems for various generalized Weyl algebras, including deformations of type-A Kleinian singularities and the algebras similar to introduced by S. P. Smith. For the former, we generalize results of Dixmier on the first Weyl algebra and the minimal primitive factors of by finding sets of generators for the group of automorphisms.

     

Heisenberg characters, unitriangular groups, and Fibonacci numbers

Let Un(Fq) denote the group of unipotent n×n upper triangular matrices over a finite field with q elements. We show that the Heisenberg characters of Un+1(Fq) are indexed by lattice paths from the origin to the line x+y=n using the steps (1,0), (1,1), (0,1), (0,2), which are labeled in a certain way by nonzero elements of Fq. In particular, we prove for n?1 that the number of Heisenberg characters of Un+1(Fq) is a polynomial in q−1 with nonnegative integer coefficients and degree n, whose leading coefficient is the nth Fibonacci number. Similarly, we find that the number of Heisenberg supercharacters of Un(Fq) is a polynomial in q−1 whose coefficients are Delannoy numbers and whose values give a q-analogue for the Pell numbers. By counting the fixed points of the action of a certain group of linear characters, we prove that the numbers of supercharacters, irreducible supercharacters, Heisenberg supercharacters, and Heisenberg characters of the subgroup of Un(Fq) consisting of matrices whose superdiagonal entries sum to zero are likewise all polynomials in q−1 with nonnegative integer coefficients.     

On Whitney numbers of the order ideals of generalized fences and crowns

We solve some recurrences given by E. Munarini and N. Zagaglia Salvi proving explicit formulas for Whitney numbers of the distributive lattices of order ideals of the fence poset and crown poset. Moreover, we get a method to obtain explicit formulas for Whitney numbers of lattices of order ideals of fences with higher asymmetric peaks.     

Twisted Weyl groups of Lie groups and nonabelian cohomology

For a cyclic group A and a connected Lie group G with an A-module structure (with the additional assumptions that G is compact and the A-module structure on G is 1-semisimple if ), we define the twisted Weyl group W = W(G,A,T), which acts on T and H ¹(A,T), where T is a maximal compact torus of , the identity component of the group of invariants G ^A . We then prove that the natural map is a bijection, reducing the calculation of H ¹(A,G) to the calculation of the action of W on T. We also prove some properties of the twisted Weyl group W, one of which is that W is a finite group. A new proof of a known result concerning the ranks of groups of invariants with respect to automorphisms of a compact Lie group is also given.      

Some Weyl modules and cohomology for algebraic groups

Abstract

In this article, we give a generalization of O’Halloran’s theorem that gives rise to families of Weyl modules with simple radicals. This generalization is then applied to simply connected, semisimple algebraic groups of types B, C, and D. We also construct families of Weyl modules with formal characters of length 4, and compute the extensions and cohomology of simple modules associated with these Weyl modules.     

Rationality and strong reality for Sylow 2-subgroups of Weyl and alternating groups

It is proved that values of all complex characters for a Sylow 2-subgroup P of any Weyl group are rational, and every element of P is a product of two involutions in P. Similar results hold also for Sylow 2-subgroups of alternating groups.Supported by RFBR grant No. 03-01-00905.Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 1, pp. 44–53, January–February, 2005.     

一类特殊广义Kac-Moody代数虚根决定的反射与Weyl群间的关系(英)

对有限型李代数g（A）,相应于每个根α的反射r_α均在g（A）的Weyl群W中．当g（A）为可对称化的不定型Kac－Moody代数时,若α为一虚根且（α,α）＜0,则亦可定义反射r_α并有r_α∈－W或r_α是－W中元与一个图自同构之积（见[3]）．本文给出了一类秩为3的广义Kac－Moody代数的虚根系,然后讨论了一类特殊的广义Kac－Moody代数的虚根决定的反射与Weyl群之间的关系．

Bijections between generalized Catalan families of types A and C

Motivated by the relation ${\mathsf{N}}^m\left(C_n\right)=(mn+1){\mathsf{N}}^m\left(A_{n?1}\right)$, holding for the $m$-generalized Catalan numbers of type $A$ and $C$, the connection between dominant regions of the $m$-Shi arrangement of type $A_{n?1}$ and $C_n$ is investigated. More precisely, it is explicitly shown how $mn+1$ copies of the set of dominant regions of the $m$-Shi arrangement of type $A_{n?1}$, biject onto the set of type $C_n$ such regions. This is achieved by exploiting two different viewpoints of the representative alcove of each region: the Shi tableau and the abacus diagram. In the same line of thought, a bijection between $mn+1$ copies of the set of $m$-Dyck paths of height $n$ and the set of $N?E$ lattice paths inside an $n\times mn$ rectangle is provided.     

Yet another way of calculating moments of the Kesten's distribution and its consequences for Catalan numbers and Catalan triangles

We calculate moments of the so-called Kesten distribution by means of the expansion of the denominator of the density of this distribution and then integrate all summands with respect to the semicircle distribution. By comparing this expression with the formulae for the moments of Kesten's distribution obtained by other means, we find identities involving polynomials whose power coefficients are closely related to Catalan numbers, Catalan triangles, binomial coefficients. Finally, as applications of these identities we obtain various interesting relations between the aforementioned numbers, also concerning Lucas, Fibonacci and Fine numbers.     

A Weighted Enumeration of Maximal Chains in the Bruhat Order

Given a finite Weyl group W with root system , assign the weight to each covering pair in the Bruhat order related by the reflection corresponding to . Extending this multiplicatively to chains, we prove that the sum of the weights of all maximal chains in the Bruhat order has an explicit product formula, and prove a similar result for a weighted sum over maximal chains in the Bruhat ordering of any parabolic quotient of W. Several variations and open problems are discussed.     

Sharp remainder estimates in the Weyl formula for the Neumann Laplacian on a class of planar regions

We obtain estimates for the counting function of the Neumann Laplacian on a planar domain bounded by the graph of a lower semicontinuous L₁-function. These estimates imply necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the classical one-term Weyl formula for the counting function and, under certain restrictions, give an order sharp remainder estimate in this formula.     

On the generalized Weyl problem for flat metrics in the hyperbolic 3-space

The paper deals with the study of complete embedded flat surfaces in H³${\mathbb{H}}^3$ with a finite number of isolated singularities. We give a detailed information about its topology, conformal type and metric properties. We show how to solve the generalized Weyl?s problem of realizing isometrically any complete flat metric with Euclidean singularities in H³${\mathbb{H}}^3$ which gives the existence of complete embedded flat surfaces with a finite arbitrary number of isolated singularities.     

Asymptotics for the number of walks in a Weyl chamber of type B

We consider lattice walks in confined to the region with fixed (but arbitrary) starting and end points. These walks are assumed to be such that their number can be counted using a reflection principle argument. The main results are asymptotic formulas for the total number of walks of length n with either a fixed or a free end point for a general class of walks as n tends to infinity. As applications, we find the asymptotics for the number of k‐non‐crossing tangled diagrams as well as asymptotics for two k‐vicious walkers models subject to a wall restriction. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the Grassmann modules for the unitary groups

Let V be 2n-dimensional vector space over a field 𝕂 equipped with a nondegenerate skew-ψ-Hermitian form f of Witt index n ≥ 1, let 𝕂₀ ? 𝕂 be the fix field of ψ and let G denote the group of isometries of (V, f). For every k ∈ {1, …, 2n}, there exist natural representations of the groups G ? U(2n, 𝕂/𝕂₀) and H = G ∩ SL(V) ? SU(2n, 𝕂/𝕂₀) on the k-th exterior power of V. With the aid of linear algebra, we prove some properties of these representations. We also discuss some applications to projective embeddings and hyperplanes of Hermitian dual polar spaces.     

Cayley groups

The classical Cayley map, , is a birational isomorphism between the special orthogonal group SO and its Lie algebra , which is SO-equivariant with respect to the conjugating and adjoint actions, respectively. We ask whether or not maps with these properties can be constructed for other algebraic groups. We show that the answer is usually ``no", with a few exceptions. In particular, we show that a Cayley map for the group SL exists if and only if , answering an old question of LUNA.
