The number of independent traces and supertraces on symplectic reflection algebras

Lectures on Symplectic Reflection Algebras

i<j 1 (xi−xj) . However, there is a better choice. Our points are indistinguishable and so we can view (x, . . . , x) as an unordered n-tuple. So the configuration space is (C)/Sn and we consider its cotangent bundle X := T (C)/Sn. Also Sn acts naturally on T ∗(Cn)Reg, the action is induced from (C) and hence preserves the symplectic form. As the following exercise shows T ((C)/Sn) = (T (C))/Sn...

Continuous symplectic reflection algebras

The theory of PBW properties of quadratic algebras, to which this paper aims to be a modest contribution, originates from the pioneering work of Drinfeld (see [Dr1]). In particular, as we learned after publication of [EG] (to the embarrassment of two of us!), symplectic reflection algebras and even more general reflection algebras considered in Section 3.6 below, as well as PBW theorems for the...

Symplectic Reflection Algebras

We survey recent results on the representation theory of symplectic reflection algebras, focusing particularly on connections with symplectic quotient singularities and their resolutions, with category O, and with spaces of representations of quivers.

Symplectic Reflection Algebras and Affine Lie Algebras

These are the notes of my talk at the conference “Double affine Hecke algebras and algebraic geometry” (MIT, May 18, 2010). The goal of this talk is to discuss some results and conjectures suggesting that the representation theory of symplectic reflection algebras for wreath products categorifies certain structures in the representation theory for affine Lie algebras. These conjectures arose fr...
