Simple algebras of Weyl type

Over a fieldF of arbitrary characteristic, we define the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type on the same vector spaceA[D] =A⊗F[D] from any pair of a commutative associative algebra,A with an identity element and the polynomial algebraF[D] of a commutative derivation subalgebraD ofA We prove thatA[D], as a Lie algebra (modulo its center) or as an associative algebra, is simple if and only ifA isD-simple andA[D] acts faithfully onA. Thus we obtain a lot of simple algebras. Su, Y., Zhao, K., Second cohornology group of generalized Witt type Lie algebras and certain representations, submitted to publication     

Simple algebras of Weyl type, II

Over a field of any characteristic, for a commutative associative algebra , and for a commutative subalgebra of , the vector space which consists of polynomials of elements in with coefficients in and which is regarded as operators on forms naturally an associative algebra. It is proved that, as an associative algebra, is simple if and only if is -simple. Suppose is -simple. Then, (a) is a free left -module; (b) as a Lie algebra, the subquotient is simple (except for one case), where is the center of . The structure of this subquotient is explicitly described. This extends the results obtained by Su and Zhao.

     

Isomorphism classes and automorphism groups of algebras of Weyl type

In one of our recent papers, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl typeA[D]=A⊗F[D] were defined and studied, whereA is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field F of any characteristic, and F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a commutative derivation subalgebraD ofA. In the present paper, a class of the above associative and Lie algebrasA[D] with F being a field of characteristic 0,D consisting of locally finite but not locally nilpotent derivations ofA, are studied. The isomorphism classes and automorphism groups of these associative and Lie algebras are determined     

Weyl equivalence for rank 2 Nichols algebras of diagonal type

Yetter-Drinfel'd modules of diagonal type admit an equivalence relation which preserves dimension and Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension of the corresponding Nichols algebras. This relation is determined explicity for all rank 2 Yetter-Drinfel'd modules where the Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension is known to be finite.

Classification of quasifinite modules over the Lie algebras of Weyl type

For a nondegenerate additive subgroup Γ of the n-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, there is an associative algebra and a Lie algebra of Weyl type spanned by all differential operators uD₁^m₁?D_n^m_n for (the group algebra), and m₁,…,m_n?0, where D₁,…,D_n are degree operators. In this paper, it is proved that an irreducible quasifinite -module is either a highest or lowest weight module or else a module of the intermediate series; furthermore, a classification of uniformly bounded -modules is completely given. It is also proved that an irreducible quasifinite -module is a module of the intermediate series and a complete classification of quasifinite -modules is also given, if Γ is not isomorphic to .     

Derivations of generalized Weyl algebras

A class of the associative and Lie algebras A[D] = A F[D] of Weyl type are studied, where A is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field F of characteristic zero, and F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a finite dimensional commutative subalgebra of locally finite derivations of A such that A is D-simple. The derivations of these associative and Lie algebras are precisely determined.     

Simple lie color algebras of weyl type

A class of graded simple associative algebras are constructed, and from them, simple Lie color algebras are obtained. The structure of these simple Lie color algebras is explicitly described. More precisely, for an (ε, Γ)-color-commutative associative algebraA with an identity element over a fieldF of characteristic not 2, and for a color-commutative subalgebraD of color-derivations ofA, denote byA[D] the associative subalgebra of End (A) generated byA (regarded as operators onA via left multiplication) andD. It is easily proved that, as an associative algebra,A[D] is Γ-graded simple if and only ifA is Γ-gradedD-simple. SupposeA is Γ-gradedD-simple. Then, (a)A[D] is a free leftA-module; (b) as a Lie color algebra, the subquotient [A[D],A[D]]/Z(A[D])∩[A[D],A[D]] is simple (except one minor case), whereZ(A[D]) is the color center ofA[D].

Connected quantized Weyl algebras and quantum cluster algebras

For an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$, we investigate a class of noncommutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebras called connected quantized Weyl algebras. Such an algebra has a PBW basis for a set of generators $\{x_1,\dots ,x_n\}$ such that each pair satisfies a relation of the form $x_i{x}_j=q_{ij}{x}_j{x}_i+r_{ij}$, where $q_{ij}\in {\mathbb{K}}^{?}$ and $r_{ij}\in \mathbb{K}$, with, in some sense, sufficiently many pairs for which $r_{ij}\ne 0$. For such an algebra it turns out that there is a single parameter q such that each $q_{ij}=q^{\pm 1}$. Assuming that $q\ne \pm 1$, we classify connected quantized Weyl algebras, showing that there are two types linear and cyclic. When q is not a root of unity we determine the prime spectra for each type. The linear case is the easier, although the result depends on the parity of n, and all prime ideals are completely prime. In the cyclic case, which can only occur if n is odd, there are prime ideals for which the factors have arbitrarily large Goldie rank.We apply connected quantized Weyl algebras to obtain presentations of two classes of quantum cluster algebras. Let $n\ge 3$ be an odd integer. We present the quantum cluster algebra of a Dynkin quiver of type $A_{n?1}$ as a factor of a linear connected quantized Weyl algebra by an ideal generated by a central element. We also consider the quiver $P_{n+1}^{(1)}$ identified by Fordy and Marsh in their analysis of periodic quiver mutation. When n is odd, we show that the quantum cluster algebra of this quiver is generated by a cyclic connected quantized Weyl algebra in n variables and one further generator. We also present it as the factor of an iterated skew polynomial algebra in $n+2$ variables by an ideal generated by a central element. For both classes, the quantum cluster algebras are simple noetherian.We establish Poisson analogues of the results on prime ideals and quantum cluster algebras. We determine the Poisson prime spectra for the semiclassical limits of the linear and cyclic connected quantized Weyl algebras and show that, when n is odd, the cluster algebras of $A_{n?1}$ and $P_{n+1}^{(1)}$ are simple Poisson algebras that can each be presented as a Poisson factor of a polynomial algebra, with an appropriate Poisson bracket, by a principal ideal generated by a Poisson central element.     

Weyl algebras over quantum groups

The term “Weyl algebras” is proposed for differential algebras associated with dual pairs of Hopf algebras. The principle of complete reducibility for the category of “admissible” modules over Weyl algebras is proved. Comodule structures that connect Weyl algebras with the Drinfeld quantum double are investigated. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika.

Growth of generalized Weyl algebras over polynomial algebras and Laurent polynomial algebras

We study the growth and the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension(GK-dimension) of the generalized Weyl algebra(GWA) A = D(σ, a), where D is a polynomial algebra or a Laurent polynomial algebra. Several necessary and sufficient conditions for GKdim(A) = GKdim(D) + 1 are given. In particular, we prove a dichotomy of the GK-dimension of GWAs over the polynomial algebra in two indeterminates, i.e., GKdim(A) is either 3 or ∞ in this case. Our results generalize several existing results in the literature and ca...     

Weyl product algebras and modulation spaces

We discuss algebraic properties of the Weyl product acting on modulation spaces. For a certain class of weight functions ω we prove that is an algebra under the Weyl product if p∈[1,∞] and 1?q?min(p,p^′). For the remaining cases p∈[1,∞] and min(p,p^′)<q?∞ we show that the unweighted spaces Mp,q are not algebras under the Weyl product.     

On the automorphisms of quantum Weyl algebras

Motivated by Weyl algebra analogues of the Jacobian conjecture and the tame generators problem, we prove quantum versions of these problems for a family of analogues to the Weyl algebras. In particular, our results cover the Weyl–Hayashi algebras and tensor powers of a quantization of the first Weyl algebra which arises as a primitive factor algebra of $U_q^{+}({\mathfrak{so}}_5)$.     

Weyl group extension of quantized current algebras

In this paper we extend Drinfeld's current realization of quantum affine algebrasU _q() and of the Yangians in several directions: we construct current operators for non-simple roots of g, define a new braid group action in terms of the current operators, and describe the universalR-matrix for the corresponding Drinfeld comultiplication in the forms of an infinite product and of certain integrals over current operators.     

Quantized Weyl algebras at roots of unity

We classify the centers of the quantized Weyl algebras that are polynomial identity algebras and derive explicit formulas for the discriminants of these algebras over a general class of polynomial central subalgebras. Two different approaches to these formulas are given: one based on Poisson geometry and deformation theory, and the other using techniques from quantum cluster algebras. Furthermore, we classify the PI quantized Weyl algebras that are free over their centers and prove that their discriminants are locally dominating and effective. This is applied to solve the automorphism and isomorphism problems for this family of algebras and their tensor products.     

Fixed rings of quantum generalized Weyl algebras

Abstract

Generalized Weyl algebras (GWAs) appear in diverse areas of mathematics including mathematical physics, noncommutative algebra, and representation theory. We study the invariants of quantum GWAs under finite order automorphisms. We extend a theorem of Jordan and Wells and apply it to determine the fixed ring of quantum GWAs under diagonal automorphisms. We further study properties of the fixed rings including global dimension, the Calabi–Yau property, rigidity, and simplicity.     

Generalized Weyl modules for twisted current algebras

We introduce the notion of generalized Weyl modules for twisted current algebras. We study their representation-theoretic and combinatorial properties and also their connection with nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. As an application, we compute the dimension of the classical Weyl modules in the remaining unknown case.     

Weyl modules for the twisted loop algebras

The notion of a Weyl module, previously defined for the untwisted affine algebras, is extended here to the twisted affine algebras. We describe an identification of the Weyl modules for the twisted affine algebras with suitably chosen Weyl modules for the untwisted affine algebras. This identification allows us to use known results in the untwisted case to compute the dimensions and characters of the Weyl modules for the twisted algebras.
