In one of our recent papers, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were defined and studied, where $A$ 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 subalgebra $D$ of $A$. In the present paper, a class of the above associative and Lie algebras $A[D]$ with $F$ being a field of characteristic 0, $D$ consisting of locally finite but not locally nilpotent derivations of $A$, are studied. The isomorphism classes and automorphism groups of these associative and Lie algebras are determined.
We consider isomorphisms and automorphisms of quantum groups. Let $k$ be a field and suppose $p, q\in k^*$ are not roots of unity. We prove that the two quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak {sl}_2)$ and $U_p(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ over a field $k$ are isomorphic as $k$-algebras if and only if $p=q^{\pm 1}$. We also rediscover the description of the group of all $k$-automorphisms of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ of Alev and Chamarie, and that $\text{Aut}_k(U_q(\mathfrak {sl}_2))$ is isomorphic to $\text{Aut}_k(U_p(\mathfrak {sl}_2))$.
In this note we solve the isomorphism problem for the multiparameter quantized Weyl algebras, in the case when none of the deformation parameters q_i is a root of unity, over an arbitrary field.
In our previous paper math/0502157 we classified a large class of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras up to isomorphism. However the following problem was left open for Hopf algebras of of type $A,D$ or $E_6$, that is whose Cartan matrix is connected and allows a non-trivial automorphism of the corresponding Dynkin diagram. In this case we described the isomorphisms between two such Hopf algebras with the same Cartan matrix only implicitly. The problem is whether it is possible to compute the isomorphisms in terms of the defining families of parameters. In the present paper we solve this …
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 $U_q^+(\mathfrak{so}_5)$.
In this paper, we study the algebra automorphisms and isomorphisms for a family of "symmetric" multiparameter quantized Weyl algebras $\A$ and some related algebras in the generic case. First, we compute the Nakayama automorphism for $\A$ and give a necessary and sufficient condition for $\A$ to be Calabi-Yau. We also prove that $\A$ is cancellative. Then we determine the automorphism group for $\A$ and its polynomial extension $\E$. As an application, we solve the isomorphism problem for $\{\A\}$ and $\{\E\}$. Similar results will be established for the Maltisiniotis multiparameter quantized …
In our previous paper q-alg/9605011 we proposed several algebraic methods for constructing new solutions to the bispectral problem. In the present note the corresponding eigenfunctions are explicitly constructed as multiple Laplace integrals.
In this paper, we study a family of generalized Weyl algebras $\{\A\}$ and their polynomial extensions. We will show that the algebra $\A$ has a simple localization $\A_{\mathbb{S}}$ when none of $p$ and $q$ is a root of unity. As an application, we determine all the height-one prime ideals and the center for $\A$, and prove that $\A$ is cancellative. Then we will determine the automorphism group and solve the isomorphism problem for the generalized Weyl algebras $\A$ and their polynomial extensions in the case where none of $p$ and $q$ is a root of unity. We will establish a quantum analogue …
On the bundles of WZW chiral blocks over the moduli space of a punctured rational curve we construct isomorphisms that implement the action of outer automorphisms of the underlying affine Lie algebra. These bundle-isomorphisms respect the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection and have finite order. When all primary fields are fixed points, the isomorphisms are endomorphisms; in this case, the bundle of chiral blocks is typically a reducible vector bundle. A conjecture for the trace of such endomorphisms is presented; the proposed relation generalizes the Verlinde formula. Our results have applicat…
Bell and Zhang have shown that if $A$ and $B$ are two connected graded algebras finitely generated in degree one that are isomorphic as ungraded algebras, then they are isomorphic as graded algebras. We exploit this result to solve the isomorphism problem in the cases of quantum affine spaces, quantum matrix algebras, and homogenized multiparameter quantized Weyl algebras. Our result involves determining the degree one normal elements, factoring out, and then repeating. This creates an iterative process that allows one to determine relationships between relative parameters.
Let $A_1$ be the (first) Weyl algebra, and let $G$ be its automorphism group. We study the natural action of $G$ on the space of isomorphism classes of right ideals of $A_1$ (equivalently, of finitely generated rank 1 torsion-free right $A_1$-modules). We show that this space breaks up into a countable number of orbits each of which is a finite dimensional algebraic variety. Our results are strikingly similar to those for the commutative algebra of polynomials in two variables; however, we do not know of any general principle that would allow us to predict this in advance. As a key step in the…
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 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, rigidity, and simplicity.
In this article, we study isomorphisms between simple current extensions of a simple VOA. For example, we classify the isomorphism classes of simple current extensions of some VOAs. Moreover, we consider the same simple current extension and describe the normalizer of the abelian automorphism group associated with this extension. In particular, we regard the moonshine module as simple current extensions of five subVOAs V_L^+ for 2-elementary totally even lattices L, and describe corresponding five normalizers of elementary abelian 2-group in the automorphism group of the moonshine module in te…
Belov-Kanel and Kontsevich conjectured that the group of automorphisms of the n'th Weyl algebra and the group of polynomial symplectomorphisms of C^2 are canonically isomorphic. We discuss how this conjecture can be approached by means of (second) quantized Weyl algebras at roots of unity.
This paper studies the loop algebras that arise from pairs consisting of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra $\g$ and a finite order automorphism $σ$ of $\g$. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for two such loop algebras to be isomorphic.
We classify instances of quantum pseudo-telepathy in the graph isomorphism game, exploiting the recently discovered connection between quantum information and the theory of quantum automorphism groups. Specifically, we show that graphs quantum isomorphic to a given graph are in bijective correspondence with Morita equivalence classes of certain Frobenius algebras in the category of finite-dimensional representations of the quantum automorphism algebra of that graph. We show that such a Frobenius algebra may be constructed from a central type subgroup of the classical automorphism group, whose …
We show that endomorphisms of Weyl algebras over fields of characteristic zero are flat and that birational endomorphisms are automorphisms by reducing to positive characteristic. We also give examples showing that endomorphisms of Weyl algebras are not in general flat over fields of positive characteristic.
To any symmetry of the Cartan matrix of a Generalized Kac-Moody (GKM) algebra we associate a family of automorphisms of the algebra which act in a natural way on the modules of the GKM algebra. We introduce the twining character of a module which is obtained by inserting the action of such an automorphism into the trace that appears in the ordinary character. Twining characters of integrable highest weight modules and Verma modules satisfy a character formula which involves a certain subgroup of the Weyl group. This subgroup is shown to be the Weyl group of another GKM algebra, called the orbi…
We prove that the Weyl algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ cannot be a fixed ring of any domain under a nontrivial action of a finite group by algebra automorphisms, thus settling a 30-year old problem. In fact, we prove the following much more general result. Let $X$ be a smooth affine variety over $\mathbb{C}$, let $D(X)$ denote the ring of algebraic differential operators on $X,$ and let $Γ$ be a finite group. If $D(X)$ is isomorphic to the ring of $Γ$-invariants of a $\mathbb{C}$-domain $R$ on which $Γ$ acts faithfully by $\mathbb{C}$-algebra automorphisms, then $R$ is isomorphic to the ring of diff…
The automorphism group of the vertex operator algebra $V_L^+$ is studied by using its action on isomorphism classes of irreducible $V_L^+$-modules. In particular, the shape of the automorphism group of $V_L^+$ is determined when $L$ is isomorphic to an even unimodular lattice without roots, $\sqrt2R$ for an irreducible root lattice $R$ of type $ADE$ and the Barnes-Wall lattice of rank 16.
We review the polyhedral realizations of crystal bases in the former half and in the latter half, we introduce braid-type isomorphisms for some rank 2 finite type crystals. Using this isomorphisms, for semi-simple Lie algebra we can show that polyhedral realizations can be obtained in the lattice of finite rank which coincides with the length of the longest element in the associated Weyl group.
We give a necessary condition for Morita equivalence of simple Generalized Weyl algebras of classical type. We propose a reformulation of Hodges' result, which describes Morita equivalences in case the polynomial defining the Generalized Weyl algebra has degree 2, in terms of isomorphisms of quantum tori, inspired by similar considerations in noncommutative differential geometry. We study how far this link can be generalized for $n\ge 3$.
