Free Divisors in Prehomogeneous Vector Spaces

چکیده
We study linear free divisors, that is, free divisors arising as discriminants in prehomogeneous vector spaces, and in particular in quiver representation spaces. We give a characterization of the prehomogeneous vector spaces containing such linear free divisors. For reductive linear free divisors, we prove that the numbers of geometric and representation theoretic irreducible components coincide. As a consequence, we find that a quiver can only give rise to a linear free divisor if it has no (oriented or unoriented) cycles. We also deduce that the linear free divisors which appear in Sato and Kimura’s list of irreducible prehomogeneous vector spaces are the only irreducible reductive linear free divisors. Furthermore, we show that all quiver linear free divisors are strongly Euler homogeneous, that they are locally weakly quasihomogeneous at points whose corresponding representation is not regular, and that all tame quiver linear free divisors are locally weakly quasihomogeneous. In particular, the latter satisfy the logarithmic comparison theorem.

On the symmetry of b-functions of linear free divisors
We introduce the concept of a prehomogeneous determinant as a possibly nonreduced version of a linear free divisor. Both are special cases of prehomogeneous vector spaces. We show that the roots of the b-function are symmetric about −1 for reductive prehomogeneous determinants and for regular special linear free divisors. For general prehomogeneous determinants, we describe conditions under whi...
متن کاملRelative invariants of some 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces
In this paper, we shall construct explicitly irreducible relative invariants of two 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces. Together with a preprint by the same authors, this completes the list of all relative invariants of regular 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces of type I.
متن کاملCOMPUTATION OF CHARACTER SUMS AND APPLICATIONS TO PREHOMOGENEOUS VECTOR SPACES 1 with an appendix ” L - FUNCTIONS OF PREHOMOGENEOUS VECTOR SPACES
For an arbitrary number field K with ring of integers OK , we prove an analogue over finite rings of the form OK/p of the Fundamental Theorem on the Fourier transform of a relative invariant of prehomogeneous vector spaces, where p is a big enough prime ideal of OK and m > 1. In the appendix, F. Sato gives an application of the Theorems 1.2 and 1.5 (and Theorems A, B, C in [4]) to the functiona...
متن کاملGeneralized Character Sums Associated to Regular Prehomogeneous Vector Spaces David Kazhdan and Alexander Polishchuk
The purpose of this note is to give a short derivation of the finite field analogue of Sato’s functional equation for the zeta function associated with a prehomogeneous vector space (see [16]). We restrict ourselves to the case of a regular prehomogeneous vector space, however, we allow to twist our character sums by local systems associated to arbitrary representations of the component group o...
متن کاملOn Parameterizations of Rational Orbits of Some Forms of Prehomogeneous Vector Spaces
In this paper, we consider the structure of rational orbit of some prehomogeneous vector spaces originally motivated by Wright and Yukie. After we give a refinement of WrightYukie’s construction, we apply it to the inner forms of the D5 and E7 types. Parameterizations of reducible algebras for the cubic cases are included.
