Factoriality for the reductive Zassenhaus variety and quantum enveloping algebra

Let U(g)$U(\mathfrak{g})$ be the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional reductive Lie algebra g$\mathfrak{g}$ over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. Let _U?,P(s:)$U_{?,P}(\mathfrak{s}:)$ be the simply connected quantum enveloping algebra at the root of unity ?  , of a complex semi-simple finite dimensional Lie algebra s:$\mathfrak{s}:$. We show, by similar proofs, that the centers of both are factorial. While the first result was established by R. Tange [32] (by different methods), the second one confirms a conjecture in [4]. We also provide a general criterion for the factoriality of the centers of enveloping algebras in prime characteristic.     

Special tensors in the deformation theory of quadratic algebras for the classical Lie algebras

Using deformation theory, Braverman and Joseph constructed certain primitive ideals in the enveloping algebras of the simple Lie algebras. Except in the case sl(2,C)$\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(2,\mathbb{C})$, there is a special value of the deformation parameter giving an ideal of infinite codimension. For the classical Lie algebras, the uniqueness of the special value is equivalent to the existence of tensors with very particular properties. The existence of these tensors was concluded abstractly by Braverman and Joseph but here we present explicit formulae. This allows a rather direct computation of the special value of the deformation parameter.     

Quantizer–dequantizer operators as a tool for formulating the quantization procedure

We consider the quantization procedure and investigate the application of the quantizer–dequantizer method and star-product technique to construct associative products and the associative algebras formed by the quantizer–dequantizer operators and their symbols. The corresponding Lie algebras are also constructed. We study the case where the quantizer–dequantizer operators form a self-dual system and show that the structure constants of the Lie algebras satisfy some identity, in addition to the Jacobi identity. Using tomographic quantizer–dequantizer operators and their symbols, we construct the continuous associative algebra and the corresponding Lie algebra.     

Modules of the Intermediate Series over Not-finitely Graded Lie Algebras W(Γ)

Let W(Γ)be a class of not-finitely graded Lie algebras related to gener-alized Virasoro algebras with basis{Lα,i,C | α ∈ Γ,i ∈ Z+},which satisfies relations[Lα,i,Lβ,j]=(β-α)Lα+β,i+j+(j-i)Lα+β,i+j+1+δα+β,0δi+j,0α3-α/12C and[C,Lα,i]=0.In this paper,W(Γ)-modules of the intermediate series satisfying some conditions are con-structed and classified.We also obtain modules of the intermediate series over the related Lie superalgebra.     

Quantum R-matrices and factorization problems

A relation between quantum R-matrices and certain factorization problem in Hopf algebras is established. A definition of dressinf transformation in the quantum case is also given.
