Two-step solvable Lie algebras and weight graphs

By using the concept of weight graph associated to nonsplit complex nilpotent Lie algebras \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a semidirect product \mathfrakg?^? T_i\mathfrak{g}\overrightarrow{\oplus } T_{i} to be two-step solvable, where $T_{i}TT over \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} which induces a decomposition of \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} into one-dimensional weight spaces without zero weights. In particular we show that the semidirect product of such a Lie algebra with a maximal torus of derivations cannot be itself two-step solvable. We also obtain some applications to rigid Lie algebras, as a geometrical proof of the nonexistence of two-step nonsplit solvable rigid Lie algebras in dimensions n\geqslant 3n\geqslant 3.     

Enveloping algebras of Slodowy slices and Goldie rank

Let U( \mathfrakg,e ) U\left( {\mathfrak{g},e} \right) be the finite W-algebra associated with a nilpotent element e in a complex simple Lie algebra \mathfrakg = \textLie(G) \mathfrak{g} = {\text{Lie}}(G) and let I be a primitive ideal of the enveloping algebra U( \mathfrakg ) U\left( \mathfrak{g} \right) whose associated variety equals the Zariski closure of the nilpotent orbit (Ad G) e. Then it is known that I = \textAn\textn_{U( \mathfrakg )}( Q_e ?_{U( \mathfrakg,e )}V ) I = {\text{An}}{{\text{n}}_{U\left( \mathfrak{g} \right)}}\left( {{Q_e}{ \otimes_{U\left( {\mathfrak{g},e} \right)}}V} \right) for some finite dimensional irreducible U( \mathfrakg,e ) U\left( {\mathfrak{g},e} \right) -module V, where Q _e stands for the generalised Gelfand–Graev \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} -module associated with e. The main goal of this paper is to prove that the Goldie rank of the primitive quotient U( \mathfrakg )

Polynomiality of invariants, unimodularity and adapted pairs

Let \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and Y( \mathfraka ) Y\left( \mathfrak{a} \right) the \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} invariant subalgebra of its symmetric algebra S( \mathfraka ) S\left( \mathfrak{a} \right) under adjoint action. Recently there has been considerable interest in studying situations when Y( \mathfraka ) Y\left( \mathfrak{a} \right) may be polynomial on index \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} generators, for example if \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} is a biparabolic or a centralizer \mathfrakg^x {\mathfrak{g}^x} in a semisimple Lie algebra \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} .     

Slices for biparabolics of index 1

Let \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} be an algebraic Lie subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} with index \mathfraka \mathfrak{a}  ≤ rank \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} . Let Y( \mathfraka ) Y\left( \mathfrak{a} \right) denote the algebra of \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} invariant polynomial functions on \mathfraka^* {\mathfrak{a}^*} . An algebraic slice for \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} is an affine subspace η + V with h ? \mathfraka^* \eta \in {\mathfrak{a}^*} and V ì \mathfraka^* V \subset {\mathfrak{a}^*} subspace of dimension index \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} such that restriction of function induces an isomorphism of Y( \mathfraka ) Y\left( \mathfrak{a} \right) onto the algebra R[η + V] of regular functions on η + V. Slices have been obtained in a number of cases through the construction of an adapted pair (h, η) in which h ? \mathfraka h \in \mathfrak{a} is ad-semisimple, η is a regular element of \mathfraka^* {\mathfrak{a}^*} which is an eigenvector for h of eigenvalue minus one and V is an h stable complement to ( \textad  \mathfraka )h \left( {{\text{ad}}\;\mathfrak{a}} \right)\eta in \mathfraka^* {\mathfrak{a}^*} . The classical case is for \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} semisimple [16], [17]. Yet rather recently many other cases have been provided; for example, if \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} is of type A and \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} is a “truncated biparabolic” [12] or a centralizer [13]. In some of these cases (in particular when the biparabolic is a Borel subalgebra) it was found [13], [14], that η could be taken to be the restriction of a regular nilpotent element in \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} . Moreover, this calculation suggested [13] how to construct slices outside type A when no adapted pair exists. This article makes a first step in taking these ideas further. Specifically, let \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} be a truncated biparabolic of index one. (This only arises if \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} is of type A and \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} is the derived algebra of a parabolic subalgebra whose Levi factor has just two blocks whose sizes are coprime.) In this case it is shown that the second member of an adapted pair (h, η) for \mathfraka \mathfrak{a} is the restriction of a particularly carefully chosen regular nilpotent element of \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} . A by-product of our analysis is the construction of a map from the set of pairs of coprime integers to the set of all finite ordered sequences of ±1.     

An inverse spectral theorem for Kre?n strings with a negative eigenvalue

A string is a pair (L, \mathfrakm){(L, \mathfrak{m})} where L ? [0, ￥]{L \in[0, \infty]} and \mathfrakm{\mathfrak{m}} is a positive, possibly unbounded, Borel measure supported on [0, L]; we think of L as the length of the string and of \mathfrakm{\mathfrak{m}} as its mass density. To each string a differential operator acting in the space L²(\mathfrakm){L^2(\mathfrak{m})} is associated. Namely, the Kreĭn–Feller differential operator -D_\mathfrakmD_x{-D_{\mathfrak{m}}D_x} ; its eigenvalue equation can be written, e.g., as

Dual partially harmonic tensors and Brauer-Schur-Weyl duality

Let V be a 2m-dimensional symplectic vector space over an algebraically closed field K. Let $ \mathfrak{B}_n^{(f)} Let V be a 2m-dimensional symplectic vector space over an algebraically closed field K. Let \mathfrakB_n^(f) \mathfrak{B}_n^{(f)} be the two-sided ideal of the Brauer algebra \mathfrakB_n( - 2m ) {\mathfrak{B}_n}\left( { - 2m} \right) over K generated by e ₁ e _3⋯ e _2f-1 where 0 ≤ f ≤ [n/2]. Let HT_f ^?n \mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_f^{ \otimes n} be the subspace of partial-harmonic tensors of valence f in V ^⊗n . In this paper we prove that dimHT_f ^?n \mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_f^{ \otimes n} and dim \textEn\textd_K\textSp(V)( V ^?n \mathord

Around splitting and reaping for partitions of ω

We investigate splitting number and reaping number for the structure (ω) ^ω of infinite partitions of ω. We prove that \mathfrakr_d ￡ non(M),non(N),\mathfrakd{\mathfrak{r}_{d}\leq\mathsf{non}(\mathcal{M}),\mathsf{non}(\mathcal{N}),\mathfrak{d}} and \mathfraks_d 3 \mathfrakb{\mathfrak{s}_{d}\geq\mathfrak{b}} . We also show the consistency results ${\mathfrak{r}_{d} > \mathfrak{b}, \mathfrak{s}_{d} < \mathfrak{d}, \mathfrak{s}_{d} < \mathfrak{r}, \mathfrak{r}_{d} < \mathsf{add}(\mathcal{M})}${\mathfrak{r}_{d} > \mathfrak{b}, \mathfrak{s}_{d} < \mathfrak{d}, \mathfrak{s}_{d} < \mathfrak{r}, \mathfrak{r}_{d} < \mathsf{add}(\mathcal{M})} and ${\mathfrak{s}_{d} > \mathsf{cof}(\mathcal{M})}${\mathfrak{s}_{d} > \mathsf{cof}(\mathcal{M})} . To prove the consistency \mathfrakr_d < add(M){\mathfrak{r}_{d} < \mathsf{add}(\mathcal{M})} and \mathfraks_d < cof(M){\mathfrak{s}_{d} < \mathsf{cof}(\mathcal{M})} we introduce new cardinal invariants \mathfrakr_pair{\mathfrak{r}_{pair}} and \mathfraks_pair{\mathfrak{s}_{pair}} . We also study the relation between \mathfrakr_pair, \mathfraks_pair{\mathfrak{r}_{pair}, \mathfrak{s}_{pair}} and other cardinal invariants. We show that cov(M),cov(N) ￡ \mathfrakr_pair ￡ \mathfraks_d,\mathfrakr{\mathsf{cov}(\mathcal{M}),\mathsf{cov}(\mathcal{N})\leq\mathfrak{r}_{pair}\leq\mathfrak{s}_{d},\mathfrak{r}} and \mathfraks ￡ \mathfraks_pair ￡ non(M),non(N){\mathfrak{s}\leq\mathfrak{s}_{pair}\leq\mathsf{non}(\mathcal{M}),\mathsf{non}(\mathcal{N})} .     

Modular Lie algebras and the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}Let \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field \mathbbK\mathbb{K} of characteristic 0. Let \mathfrakg_\mathbbZ{\mathfrak{g}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}} be a Chevalley ℤ-form of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} and \mathfrakg_\Bbbk=\mathfrakg_\mathbbZ?_\mathbbZ\Bbbk{\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}={\mathfrak{g}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}}\otimes _{{\mathbb{Z}}}\Bbbk, where \Bbbk\Bbbk is the algebraic closure of  \mathbbF_p{\mathbb{F}}_{p}. Let G_\BbbkG_{\Bbbk} be a simple, simply connected algebraic \Bbbk\Bbbk-group with \operatornameLie(G_\Bbbk)=\mathfrakg_\Bbbk\operatorname{Lie}(G_{\Bbbk})={\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}. In this paper, we apply recent results of Rudolf Tange on the fraction field of the centre of the universal enveloping algebra U(\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)U({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) to show that if the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture (from 1966) holds for \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}}, then for all p≫0 the field of rational functions \Bbbk (\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)\Bbbk ({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) is purely transcendental over its subfield \Bbbk(\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)^G_\Bbbk\Bbbk({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk})^{G_{\Bbbk}}. Very recently, it was proved by Colliot-Thélène, Kunyavskiĭ, Popov, and Reichstein that the field of rational functions \mathbbK(\mathfrakg){\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}}) is not purely transcendental over its subfield \mathbbK(\mathfrakg)^\mathfrakg{\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}})^{\mathfrak{g}} if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B _n , n≥3, D _n , n≥4, E₆, E₇, E₈ or F₄. We prove a modular version of this result (valid for p≫0) and use it to show that, in characteristic 0, the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture fails for the simple Lie algebras of the above types. In other words, if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B _n , n≥3, D _n , n≥4, E₆, E₇, E₈ or F₄, then the Lie field of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is more complicated than expected.

Lifting automorphisms of generalized adjoint quotients

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. Let p:\mathfrakg^r ? X = \mathfrakg^r//G \pi :{\mathfrak{g}^r} \to X = {\mathfrak{g}^r}//G be the categorical quotient where \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} is the adjoint representation of G and r is a suitably large integer (in general r ≥ 5, but for many cases r ≥ 3 or even r ≥ 2 suffices). We show that every automorphism φ of X lifts to a map F:\mathfrakg^r ? \mathfrakg^r \Phi :{\mathfrak{g}^r} \to {\mathfrak{g}^r} commuting with π. As an application we consider the action of φ on the Luna stratification of X.     

Exterior powers of the reflection representation in Springer theory

On the ring of local polynomial invariants for a pair of entangled qubits

The entanglement characteristics of two qubits are encoded in the invariants of the adjoint action of the group SU(2) ⊗ SU(2) on the space of density matrices \mathfrakP₊ {\mathfrak{P}_{+} } , defined as the space of 4 × 4 positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices. The corresponding ring \textC[ \mathfrakP₊ ]^{\textSU( 2 ) ?\textSU ?( 2 )} {\text{C}}{\left[ {{\mathfrak{P}_{+} }} \right]^{{\text{SU}}\left( {2} \right) \otimes {\text{SU}} \otimes \left( {2} \right)}} of polynomial invariants is studied. A special integrity basis for \textC[ \mathfrakP₊ ]^{\textSU( 2 ) ?\textSU ?( 2 )} {\text{C}}{\left[ {{\mathfrak{P}_{+} }} \right]^{{\text{SU}}\left( {2} \right) \otimes {\text{SU}} \otimes \left( {2} \right)}} is described, and the constraints on its elements imposed by the positive semidefiniteness of density matrices are given explicitly in the form of polynomial inequalities. The suggested basis is characterized by the property that the minimum number of invariants, namely, two primary invariants of degree 2, 3 and one secondary invariant of degree 4 appearing in the Hironaka decomposition of \textC[ \mathfrakP₊ ]^{\textSU( 2 ) ?\textSU ?( 2 )} {\text{C}}{\left[ {{\mathfrak{P}_{+} }} \right]^{{\text{SU}}\left( {2} \right) \otimes {\text{SU}} \otimes \left( {2} \right)}} , are subject to the polynomial inequalities.

A Twining Character Formula For Demazure Modules

We prove a formula for the twining characters of certain Demazure modules, over a Borel subalgebra \mathfrakb\mathfrak{b} of a finite dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}. This formula describes the twining character of the Demazure module by the w\omega-Demazure operator associated to an element of the Weyl group that is fixed by the Dynkin diagram automorphism w\omega of \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}. Our result is a refinement of the twining character formula for the irreducible highest weight \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}-modules of symmetric dominant integral highest weights, and also of the ordinary Demazure character formula.     

Bounded reductive subalgebras of \mathfrak{s}{\mathfrak{l}_n}

Let \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} be a reductive Lie algebra and \mathfrakk ì \mathfrakg \mathfrak{k} \subset \mathfrak{g} be a reductive in \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} subalgebra. A ( \mathfrakg,\mathfrakk \mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k} )-module M is a \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} -module for which any element m ∈ M is contained in a finite-dimensional \mathfrakk \mathfrak{k} -submodule of M. We say that a ( \mathfrakg,\mathfrakk \mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k} )-module M is bounded if there exists a constant C _M such that the Jordan-H?lder multiplicities of any simple finite-dimensional \mathfrakk \mathfrak{k} -module in every finite-dimensional \mathfrakk \mathfrak{k} -submodule of M are bounded by C _M . In the present paper we describe explicitly all reductive in \mathfraks\mathfrakl_n \mathfrak{s}{\mathfrak{l}_n} subalgebras \mathfrakk \mathfrak{k} which admit a bounded simple infinite-dimensional ( \mathfraks\mathfrakl_n,\mathfrakk \mathfrak{s}{\mathfrak{l}_n},\mathfrak{k} )-module. Our technique is based on symplectic geometry and the notion of spherical variety. We also characterize the irreducible components of the associated varieties of simple bounded ( \mathfrakg,\mathfrakk \mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k} )-modules.     

On quasiorder lattices and topology lattices of algebras

In this paper, it is shown that the dual [(\textQord)\tilde]\mathfrakA \widetilde{\text{Qord}}\mathfrak{A} of the quasiorder lattice of any algebra \mathfrakA \mathfrak{A} is isomorphic to a sublattice of the topology lattice á( \mathfrakA ) \Im \left( \mathfrak{A} \right) . Further, if \mathfrakA \mathfrak{A} is a finite algebra, then [(\textQord)\tilde]\mathfrakA @ á( \mathfrakA ) \widetilde{\text{Qord}}\mathfrak{A} \cong \Im \left( \mathfrak{A} \right) . We give a sufficient condition for the lattices [(\textCon)\tilde]\mathfrakA\text, [(\textQord)\tilde]\mathfrakA \widetilde{\text{Con}}\mathfrak{A}{\text{,}} \widetilde{\text{Qord}}\mathfrak{A} , and á( \mathfrakA ) \Im \left( \mathfrak{A} \right) . to be pairwise isomorphic. These results are applied to investigate topology lattices and quasiorder lattices of unary algebras.     

Über die Bedingung Going up für {R \subset \hat{R}}

Let (R,\mathfrak m){(R,\mathfrak m)} be a noetherian, local ring with completion [^(R)]{\hat{R}} . We show that R ì [^(R)]{R \subset \hat{R}} satisfies the condition Going up if and only if there exists to every artinian R-module M with Ann_R(M) ì \mathfrakp{{\rm Ann}_R(M) \subset \mathfrak{p}} a submodule U ì M{U \subset M} with Ann_R(U)=\mathfrakp.{{\rm {Ann}}_R(U)=\mathfrak{p}.} This is further equivalent to R being formal catenary, to α(R) = 0 and to H^d_{\mathfrakq/\mathfrakp}(R/\mathfrakp)=0{H^d_{\mathfrak{q}/\mathfrak{p}}(R/\mathfrak{p})=0} for all prime ideals \mathfrakp ì \mathfrakq \subsetneq \mathfrakm{\mathfrak{p} \subset \mathfrak{q} \subsetneq \mathfrak{m}} where d = dim(R/\mathfrakp){d = {\rm {dim}}(R/\mathfrak{p})}.

Irreducible holonomy algebras of Riemannian supermanifolds

Possible irreducible holonomy algebras \mathfrakg ì \mathfrakosp(p, q|2m){\mathfrak{g}\subset\mathfrak{osp}(p, q|2m)} of Riemannian supermanifolds under the assumption that \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is a direct sum of simple Lie superalgebras of classical type and possibly of a 1-dimensional center are classified. This generalizes the classical result of Marcel Berger about the classification of irreducible holonomy algebras of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.
