We address two problems regarding the structure and representation theory of finite W-algebras associated with the general linear Lie algebras. Finite W-algebras can be defined either via the Whittaker model of Kostant or, equivalently, by the quantum Hamiltonian reduction. Our first main result is a proof of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture for the skew fields of fractions of the finite W-algebras. The second main result is a parametrization of finite families of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules by the characters of the Gelfand-Tsetlin subalgebra. As a corollary, we obtain a complete classification of generic irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for the finite W-algebras.
Let g be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show that if the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture holds for g, then g has type A_n, C_n or G_2.
Consider the W-algebra $W$ attached to the smallest nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra $\frak g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that if an analogue of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture holds for such a W-algebra then it holds for the universal enveloping algebra $\mathrm U(\frak g)$. This together with a result of A. Premet implies that the analogue of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture fails for some $W$-algebras attached to some nilpotent orbits in Lie algebras of types $B_n~(n\ge 3)$, $D_n~(n\ge 4)$, $E_6, E_7, E_8$, $F_4$.
We consider the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra E over a field F of characteristic 0 or p, where p>2, and we compute its Z_2-graded Gelfand-Kirillov dimension as a Z_2-graded PI-algebra.
The Gelfand-Kirillov dimension measures the asymptotic growth rate of algebras. For every associative dialgebra $\mathcal{D}$, the quotient $\mathcal{A}_\mathcal{D}:=\mathcal{D}/\mathsf{Id}(S)$, where $\mathsf{Id}(S)$ is the ideal of $\mathcal{D}$ generated by the set $S:=\{x \vdash y-x\dashv y \mid x,y\in \mathcal{D}\}$, is called the associative algebra associated to $\mathcal{D}$. Here we show that the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension of $\mathcal{D}$ is bounded above by twice the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension of $\mathcal{A}_\mathcal{D}$. Moreover, we prove that no associative dialgebra has Gelfa…
We first offer a fast method for calculating the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a finitely presented commutative algebra by investigating certain finite set. Then we establish a Groebner-Shirshov bases theory for bicommutative algebras, and show that every finitely generated bicommutative algebra has a finite Groebner-Shirshov basis. As an application, we show that the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a finitely generated bicommutative algebra is a nonnegative integer.
Differential difference algebras were introduced by Mansfield and Szanto, which arose naturally from differential difference equations. In this paper, we investigate the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of differential difference algebras. We give a lower bound of the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a differential difference algebra and a sufficient condition under which the lower bound is reached; we also find an upper bound of this Gelfand-Kirillov dimension under some specific conditions and construct an example to show that this upper bound can not be sharpened any more.
Two-dimensional integrable differential calculi for classes of Ore extensions of the polynomial ring and the Laurent polynomial ring in one variable are constructed. Thus it is concluded that all affine pointed Hopf domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two which are not polynomial identity rings are differentially smooth.
Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra. We show that under some mild assumptions $H$ and its associated graded Hopf algebra $\gr H$ have the same Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. As an application, we prove that the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a connected Hopf algebra is either infinity or a positive integer. We also classify connected Hopf algebras of GK-dimension three over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
We classify all non-affine Hopf algebras $H$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero that are integral domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two and satisfy the condition $\text{Ext}^1_H(k, k) \neq 0$. The affine ones were classified by the authors in 2010.
We determine the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a weighted Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E,w)$ where $K$ is a field and $(E,w)$ a finite weighted graph. Further we show that a finite-dimensional weighted Leavitt path algebra over a field $K$ is isomorphic to a finite product of matrix rings over $K$.
The classical Gelfand-Kirillov dimension for algebras over fields has been extended recently by J. Bell and J.J Zhang to algebras over commutative domains. However, the behavior of this new notion has not been enough investigated for the principal algebraic constructions as polynomial rings, matrix rings, localizations, filtered-graded rings, skew $PBW$ extensions, etc. In this paper, we present complete proofs of the computation of this more general dimension for the mentioned algebraic constructions for algebras over commutative domains. The Gelfand-Kirillov dimension for modules and the Gel…
For an arbitrary countable field, we construct an associative algebra that is graded, generated by finitely many degree-1 elements, is Jacobson radical, is not nil, is prime, is not PI, and has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two. This refutes a conjecture attributed to Goodearl.
In the case of cyclic quiver we prove that the deformed Harish-Chandra map whose existence was conjectured by Etingof and Ginzburg is well defined. As an application we prove Kirillov-type formula for the cyclotomic Bessel function.
We construct functorially a class of algebras using the formalism of double derivations. These algebras extend to higher dimensions Crawley-Boevey and Holland's construction of deformed preprojective algebras and encompass symplectic reflection algebras associated to wreath products. We use this construction to show that the quotient field of a symplectic reflection algebra is "rational", confirming a pair of conjectures of Etingof and Ginzburg.
Differential difference algebras are generalizations of polynomial algebras, quantum planes, and Ore extensions of automorphism type and of derivation type. In this paper, we investigate the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a finitely generated module over a differential difference algebra through a computational method: Gröbner-Shirshov basis method. We develop the Gröbner-Shirshov basis theory of differential difference algebras, and of finitely generated modules over differential difference algebras, respectively. Then, via Gröbner-Shirshov bases, we give algorithms for computing the Gelfand-K…
Let $k$ be an uncountable field. We show that a finitely generated prime Goldie $k$-algebra of quadratic growth is either primitive or satisfies a polynomial identity, answering a question of Small in the affirmative.
We study centralizers of elements in domains. We generalize a result of the author and Small, showing that if $A$ is a finitely generated noetherian domain and $a\in A$ is not algebraic over the extended centre of $A$, then the centralizer of $a$ has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most one less than the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of $A$. In the case that $A$ is a finitely generated noetherian domain of GK dimension 3 over the complex numbers, we show that the centralizer of an element a $A$ that is not algebraic over the extended centre of $A$ satisfies a polynomial identity.
It is shown that the q-difference Noether problem for all classical Weyl groups has a positive solution, simultaneously generalizing well known results on multisymmetric functions of Mattuck and Miyata in the case q=1, and q-deforming the noncommutative Noether problem for the symmetric group. It is also shown that the quantum Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture for gl_N (for a generic q) follows from the positive solution of the q-difference Noether problem for the Weyl group of type D_n. The proof is based on the theory of Galois rings developed by the first author and Ovsienko. From here we obtain …
We classify infinite-dimensional decomposable braided vector spaces arising from abelian groups whose components are either points or blocks such that the corresponding Nichols algebras have finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. In particular we exhibit examples with $\operatorname{GKdim} = n$ for any natural number $n$.
We classify all noetherian Hopf algebras $H$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero which are integral domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two and satisfy the condition $\Ext^1_H(k,k)\neq 0$. The latter condition is conjecturally redundant, as no examples are known (among noetherian Hopf algebra domains of GK-dimension two) where it fails.
Hecke-Kiselman algebras $A_Θ$, over a field $k$, associated to finite oriented graphs $Θ$ are considered. It has been known that every such algebra is an automaton algebra in the sense of Ufranovskii. In particular, its Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is an integer if it is finite. In this paper, a numerical invariant of the graph $Θ$ that determines the dimension of $A_Θ$ is found. Namely, we prove that the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of $A_Θ$ is the sum of the number of cyclic subgraphs of $Θ$ and the number of oriented paths of a special type in the graph, each counted certain specific number of …
In this note, we compute the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of cosemisimple Hopf algebras that arise as deformations of a linearly reductive algebraic group. Our work lies in a purely algebraic setting and generalizes results of Goodearl-Zhang (2007), of Banica-Vergnioux (2009), and of D'Andrea-Pinzari-Rossi (2017).
For central simple finitely generated algebras of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and for their division algebras upper bounds are obtained for the transcendence degree of their commutative subalgebras and subfields respectively. In the formulae for the upper bounds are used only two dimensions of the algebras: the Gelfand-Kirillov and the filter dimension. In the case of the ring of differential operators on a smooth irreducible affine algebraic variety the upper bounds are the exact upper bounds. A similar upper bound is given for the transcendence degree of isotropic subalgebras of strong…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $A$ a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded finitely generated simple $k$-algebra which is a domain of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2. We show that the category of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded right $A$-modules is equivalent to the category of quasicoherent sheaves on a certain quotient stack. The theory of these simple algebras is closely related to that of a class of generalized Weyl algebras (GWAs). We prove a translation principle for the noncommutative schemes of these GWAs, shedding new light on the classical translation principle for the infinite-dimensional primitive qu…
Let A be any associative algebra graded by a finite abelian group G, then if we denote by GKdim_k(A) and GKdim^G_k (A) the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of its relatively free algebra and its relatively free G-graded algebra in k variables respectively, then GKdim_k(A)\leq GKdim^G_k (A). We show a counterexample of the previous result for Jordan algebras (hence non-associative). In particular, there exists a $Z_2$-grading on $UJ_n$, the Jordan algebra of $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices, n equal to 2 or 3, such that the previous inequality does not hold.
For the $n$-dimensional multiparameter quantum torus algebra $Λ_{\mathfrak q}$ over a field $k$ defined by a multiplicatively antisymmetric matrix $\mathfrak q = (q_{ij})$ we show that in the case when the torsion-free rank of the subgroup of $k^\times$ generated by the $q_{ij}$ is large enough there is a characteristic set of values (possibly with gaps) from $0$ to $n$ that can occur as the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension of simple modules. The special case when $\mathrm{K}.\dim(Λ_{\mathfrak q}) = n - 1$ and $Λ_{\mathfrak q}$ is simple studied in A.~Gupta, {\it $\uppercase{\mbox{GK}}$-dimensions …
Let $k$ be a field. We show that a finitely generated simple Goldie $k$-algebra of quadratic growth is noetherian and has Krull dimension 1. Thus a simple algebra of quadratic growth is left noetherian if and only if it is right noetherian. As a special case, we see that if A is a finitely generated simple domain of quadratic growth then A is noetherian and by a result of Stafford every right and left ideal is generated by at most two elements. We conclude by posing questions and giving examples in which we consider what happens when the hypotheses are relaxed.
Let $A$ be a finitely generated $K$-algebra that is a domain of GK dimension less than 3, and let $Q(A)$ denote the quotient division algebra of $A$. We show that if $D$ is a division subalgebra of $Q(A)$ of GK dimension at least 2 then $Q(A)$ is finite dimensional as a left $D$-vector space. We use this to show that if $A$ is a finitely generated domain of GK dimension less than 3 over an algebraically closed field $K$ then any division subalgebra $D$ of $Q(A)$ is either a finitely generated field extension of $K$ of transcendence degree at most one, or $Q(A)$ is finite dimensional as a left …
Let $\mf g$ be the Witt algebra or the positive Witt algebra. It is well known that the enveloping algebra $U(\mf g )$ has intermediate growth and thus infinite Gelfand-Kirillov (GK-) dimension. We prove that the GK-dimension of $U(\mf g)$ is {\em just infinite} in the sense that any proper quotient of $U(\mf g)$ has polynomial growth. This proves a conjecture of Petukhov and the second named author for the positive Witt algebra. We also establish the corresponding results for quotients of the symmetric algebra $S(\mf g)$ by proper Poisson ideals. In fact, we prove more generally that any cent…
We investigate the amenability of skew filed extensions of the complex numbers. We prove that all skew fields of finite Gelfand-Kirillov transcendence degree are amenable. However there are both amenable and non-amenable skew fields of infinite Gelfand-Kirillov transcendence degree. For example, the free field is non-amenable.
Leavitt path algebras L of an arbitrary graph E over a field K satisfying a polynomial identity are completely characterized both in graph-theoretic and algebraic terms. When E is a finite graph, L satisfying a polynomial identity is shown to be equivalent to the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of L being at most one, though this is no longer true for infinite graphs. It is shown that, for an arbitrary graph E, the Leavitt path algebra L has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension zero if and only if E has no cycles. Likewise, L has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension one if and only if E contains at least one cycle, bu…
The Gelfand--Kirillov dimension has gained importance since its introduction as an tool in the study of non-commutative infinite dimensional algebras and their modules. In this paper we show a dichotomy for the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension of simple modules over certain simple rings of differential operators.
Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $H$ is a domain with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension greater than or equal to two, then $H$ contains a Hopf subalgebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two.
We solve the problem of extension of characters of commutative subalgebras in associative (noncommutative) algebras for a class of subrings (Galois orders) in skew group rings. These results can be viewed as a noncommutative analogue of liftings of prime ideals in the case of integral extensions of commutative rings. The proposed approach can be applied to the representation theory of many infinite dimensional algebras including universal enveloping algebras of reductive Lie algebras, Yangians and finite $W$-algebras. In particular, we develop a theory of Gelfand-Tsetlin modules for $\gl_n$. B…
The Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is a well established quantity to classify the growth of infinite dimensional algebras. In this article we introduce the algebraic entropy for path algebras. For the path algebras, Leavitt path algebras and the path algebra of the extended (double) graph, we compare the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and the entropy. We give a complete classification of path algebras over finite graphs by dimension, Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and algebraic entropy. We show indeed how these three quantities are dependent on cycles inside the graph. Moreover we show that the algebraic …
Let K be a field of characteristic 0 and L be a G-graded Lie PI-algebra, where G is a finite group. We define the graded Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of L. Then we measure the growth of the Z_n-graded polynomial identities of the Lie algebra of n x n traceless matrices sl_n(K) giving an exact value of its Z_n-graded Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.
It was conjectured in \texttt{\small arXiv:1606.02521} that a Nichols algebra of diagonal type with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension has finite (generalized) root system. We prove the conjecture assuming that the rank is 2. We also show that a Nichols algebra of affine Cartan type has infinite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.
We define Leavitt path algebras of hypergraphs generalizing simultaneously Leavitt path algebras of finitely separated graphs and Leavitt path algebras of row-finite vertex-weighted graphs. We find linear bases for those algebras, compute their Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, obtain some results on ring-theoretic properties like simplicity, von Neumann regularity and Noetherianess and investigate their K-theory and graded K-theory. By doing so we obtain new results on the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and graded K-theory of Leavitt path algebras of separated graphs and on the graded K-theory of weigh…
We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the ordinary transcendence degree for fields to have. Using this invariant, we prove the following conjecture of Small. Let $k$ be a field, let $A$ be a finitely generated $k$-algebra that is an Ore domain, and let $D$ denote the quotient division algebra of $A$. If $A$ does not satisfy a polynomial identity then the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of $K$ is at most th…
We consider Ore extensions of the form $T:=R[x;σ,δ]$ with $R$ a commutative integral domain that is finitely generated over a field $k$. We show that if $T$ has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension less than four then a prime ideal $P\in {\rm Spec}(T)$ is primitive if and only if $\{P\}$ is locally closed in ${\rm Spec}(T)$, if and only if the Goldie ring of quotients of $T/P$ has centre that is an algebraic extension of $k$. We also show that there are examples for which these equivalences do not all hold for $T$ of integer Gelfand-Kirillov dimension greater than or equal to $4$.

The lower transcendence degree, introduced by J. J Zhang, is an important non-commutative invariant in ring theory and non-commutative geometry strongly connected to the classical Gelfand-Kirillov transcendence degree. For LD-stable algebras, the lower transcendence degree coincides with the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. We show that the following algebras are LD-stable and compute their lower transcendence degrees: rings of differential operators of affine domains, universal enveloping algebras of finite dimensional Lie superalgebras, symplectic reflection algebras and their spherical subalgebr…
Let E be an arbitrary graph, K be any field and let L be the corresponding Leavitt path algebra. Necessary and sufficient conditions (which are both algebraic and graphical) are given under which all the irreducible representations of L are finitely presented. In this case, the graph E turns out to be row finite and the cycles in E form an artinian partial ordered set under a defined preorder. When the graph E is finite, the above graphical conditions were shown to be equivalent to the algebra L having finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension in a paper by Alahmadi, Alsulami, Jain and Zelmanov. Examp…
We characterize the Hilbert functions and minimal resolutions of (critical) Cohen-Macaulay graded right modules of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two over generic quadratic and cubic three dimensional Artin-Schelter regular algebras.
It is shown that the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension for modules over quantum Laurent polynomials is tensor-minimal. The Brookes--Groves invariant associated with a tensor product of modules is determined. It is also shown that there can be nonholonmic simple modules.
