Generalized flag manifolds endowed with the Bruhat-Poisson bracket are compact Poisson homogeneous spaces, whose decompositions in symplectic leaves coincide with their stratifications in Schubert cells. In this note it is proved that the irreducible *-representations of the corresponding quantized flag manifolds are also parametrized by their Schubert cells. An important step is the determination of suitable algebraic generators of the quantized flag manifolds. These algebraic generators can be naturally expressed in terms of quantum Plucker coordinates. This note complements the paper of the author and Dijkhuizen in Commun. Math. Phys. 203 (1999), pp. 297-324, in which these results were established for a special subclass of generalized flag manifolds.
We show that the quantized flag manifold at a root of unity has natural affine open covering parametrized by the elements of the Weyl group. In particular, the quantized flag manifold turns out to be a quasi-scheme in the sense of Rosenberg.
The quantized flag manifold, which is a $q$-analogue of the ordinary flag manifold, is realized as a non-commutative scheme, and we can define the category of $D$-modules on it using the framework of non-commutative algebraic geometry; however, when the parameter $q$ is a root of unity, Lusztig's Frobenius morphism allows us to handle $D$-modules on the quantized flag manifold through modules over a certain sheaf of rings on the ordinary flag manifold. In this paper we will show that this sheaf of rings on the ordinary flag manifold is an Azumaya algebra over its center. We also show that its …
We prove an analogue of Weyl's law for quantized irreducible generalized flag manifolds. By this we mean defining a zeta function, similarly to the classical setting, and showing that it satisfies the following two properties: as a functional on the quantized algebra it is proportional to the Haar state; its first singularity coincides with the classical dimension. The relevant formulae are given for the more general case of compact quantum groups.
We study irreducible *-representations of a certain quantization of the algebra of polynomial functions on a generalized flag manifold regarded as a real manifold. All irreducible *-representations are classified for a subclass of flag manifolds containing in particular the irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces. For this subclass it is shown that the irreducible *-representations are parametrized by the symplectic leaves of the underlying Poisson bracket. We also discuss the relation between the quantized flag manifolds studied in this paper and the quantum flag manifolds studied by S…
We prove that all quantum irreducible flag manifolds admit Kähler structures, as defined by Ó Buachalla. In order to show this result, we also prove that the differential calculi defined by Heckenberger and Kolb are differential *-calculi in a natural way.
The quantum group version of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand resolution is used to construct a double complex of U_q(g)-modules with exact rows and columns. The locally finite dual of its total complex is identified with the de Rham complex for quantized irreducible flag manifolds.
The notion of locally finite part of the dual coalgebra of certain quantized coordinate rings is introduced. In the case of irreducible flag manifolds this locally finite part is shown to coincide with a natural quotient coalgebra V of U_q(g). On the way the coradical filtration of V is determined. A graded version of the duality between V and the quantized coordinate ring is established. This leads to a natural construction of several examples of quantized vector spaces. As an application covariant first order differential calculi on quantized irreducible flag manifolds are classified. Keywor…
We give a combinatorial Chevalley formula for an arbitrary weight, in the torus-equivariant K-theory of semi-infinite flag manifolds, which is expressed in terms of the quantum alcove model. As an application, we prove the Chevalley formula for anti-dominant fundamental weights in the (small) torus-equivariant quantum K-theory of the flag manifold G/B; this has been a longstanding conjecture about the multiplicative structure of the mentioned quantum K-theory. Moreover, in type A, we prove that the so-called quantum Grothendieck polynomials indeed represent Schubert classes in the (non-equivar…
The quantum flag manifold ${SU_q(3)/\mathbb{T}^2}$ is interpreted as a noncommutative bundle over the quantum complex projective plane with the quantum or Podleś sphere as a fibre. A connection arising from the (associated) quantum principal $U_q(2)$-bundle is described.
A Dirac operator D on quantized irreducible generalized flag manifolds is defined. This yields a Hilbert space realization of the covariant first-order differential calculi constructed by I. Heckenberger and S. Kolb. All differentials df=i[D,f] are bounded operators. In the simplest case of Podles' quantum sphere one obtains the spectral triple found by L. Dabrowski and A. Sitarz.
We study the twisted Hochschild homology of quantum flag manifolds, the twist being the modular automorphism of the Haar state. We prove that every quantum flag manifold admits a non-trivial class in degree two, with an explicit representative defined in terms of a certain projection. The corresponding classical two-form, via the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem, is identified with a Kähler form on the flag manifold.
It is shown that quantum homogeneous coordinate rings of generalised flag manifolds corresponding to minuscule weights, their Schubert varieties, big cells, and determinantal varieties are AS-Cohen-Macaulay. The main ingredient in the proof is the notion of a quantum graded algebra with a straightening law, introduced by T.H. Lenagan and L. Rigal [J. Algebra 301 (2006), 670-702]. Using Stanley's Theorem it is moreover shown that quantum generalised flag manifolds of minuscule weight and their big cells are AS-Gorenstein.
We continue the study, begun in [Kouno-Naito-Orr-Sagaki, 2021], of inverse Chevalley formulas for the equivariant $K$-group of semi-infinite flag manifolds. Using the language of alcove paths, we reformulate and extend our combinatorial inverse Chevalley formula to arbitrary weights in all simply-laced types (conjecturally also for $E_8$).
The quantum version of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand resolution is used to construct a Dolbeault-Dirac operator on the anti-holomorphic forms of the Heckenberger-Kolb calculus for the $B_2$-irreducible quantum flag manifold. The spectrum and the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of the Dolbeault-Dirac operator are computed. It is shown that this construction yields an equivariant, even, $0^+$-summable spectral triple.
As a generalization of our previous paper [GK], we formulate a residue formula and some simple behaviors of equivariant quantum cohomology applying to compute the quantum cohomology of partial flag manifolds $F_{k_1,\cdots , k_l} $with a try to give a rigorous definition of equivariant quantum cohomology.
It is shown that the theory of spherical Harish-Chandra modules naturally provides the algebras of covariant, contravariant and mixed symbols on generalized flag manifolds. The general proof of the correspondence principle for all these symbol algebras is given.
We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated to the foliation structure of a quantum flag manifold. We use these to construct $SL_q(3,\mathbb{C})$-equivariant Fredholm modules for the full quantum flag manifold $X_q = SU_q(3)/T$ of $SU_q(3)$, based on an analytical version of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand complex. As a consequence we deduce that the flag manifold $ X_q $ satisfies Poincaré duality in equivariant $ KK $-theory. Moreover, we show that the Baum-Connes conjecture with trivial coefficients holds for the discrete quantum group dual to $SU_q(3)$.
We relate the quantum cohomology of minuscule flag manifolds to the tt*-Toda equations, a special case of the topological-antitopological fusion equations which were introduced by Cecotti and Vafa in their study of supersymmetric quantum field theories. To do this, we combine the Lie-theoretic treatment of the tt*-Toda equations of Guest-Ho with the Lie-theoretic description of the quantum cohomology of minuscule flag manifolds from Chaput-Manivel-Perrin and Golyshev-Manivel.
We study the twisted Hochschild homology of quantum full flag manifolds, with the twist being the modular automorphism of the Haar state. We show that non-trivial 2-cycles can be constructed from appropriate invariant projections. The main result is that $HH_2^θ(\mathbb{C}_q[G / T])$ is infinite-dimensional when $\mathrm{rank}(\mathfrak{g}) > 1$. We also discuss the case of generalized flag manifolds and present the example of quantum Grassmannians.
A relationship between quantum flag and Grassmann manifolds is revealed. This enables a formal diagonalization of quantum positive matrices. The requirement that this diagonalization defines a homomorphism leads to a left \Uh -- module structure on the algebra generated by quantum antiholomorphic coordinate functions living on the flag manifold. The module is defined by prescribing the action on the unit and then extending it to all polynomials using a quantum version of Leibniz rule. Leibniz rule is shown to be induced by the dressing transformation. For discrete values of parameters occuring…
We give a new interpretation and proof of the "quasi-particle" type character formulas for integrable representations of the simply-laced affine Kac-Moody algebras through a new "semi-infinite" construction of such representations. We compare formulas of this kind to other formulas obtained using the geometry of the corresponding flag manifold and in particular give a new proof to the Gordon type identities.
This is an exposition of some recent developments related to the object in the title, particularly the combinatorial computation of the (genus 0) Gromov-Witten invariants of the flag manifold and the quadratic algebra approach. The notes are largely based on my joint papers with S.Gelfand, A.N.Kirillov, and A.Postnikov. This is by no means an exhaustive survey of the subject, but rather a casual introduction to its combinatorial aspects.
A unified approach to geometric, symbol and deformation quantizations on a generalized flag manifold endowed with an invariant pseudo-Kaehler structure is proposed. The Hilbert space of states is realized via the Bott-Borel-Weil theorem in the sheaf cohomology of the geometric quantization line bundle. The corresponding deformation quantization is a quantization with separation of variables. In particular cases we arrive at Berezin's quantization via covariant and contravariant symbols.
We construct covariant $q$-deformed holomorphic structures for all finitely-generated relative Hopf modules over the irreducible quantum flag manifolds endowed with their Heckenberger--Kolb calculi. In the classical limit these reduce to modules of sections of holomorphic homogeneous vector bundles over irreducible flag manifolds. For the case of simple relative Hopf modules, we show that this covariant holomorphic structure is unique. This generalises earlier work of Majid, Khalkhali, Landi, and van Suijlekom for line modules of the Podleś sphere, and subsequent work of Khalkhali and Moatadel…
