چکیده
For the ring of differential operators on a smooth affine algebraic variety X over a field of characteristic zero a finite set of algebra generators and a finite set of defining relations are found explicitly. As a consequence, a finite set of generators and a finite set of defining relations are given for the module DerK(O(X)) of derivations on the algebra O(X) of regular functions on the variety X. For the variety X which is not necessarily smooth, a set of natural derivations derK(O(X)) of the algebra O(X) and a ring D(O(X)) of natural differential operators onO(X) are introduced. The algebra D(O(X)) is a Noetherian algebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2dim(X). When X is smooth then derK(O(X)) = DerK(O(X)) and D(O(X)) = D(O(X)). A criterion of smoothness of X is given when X is irreducible (X is smooth iff D(O(X)) is a simple algebra iff O(X) is a simple D(O(X))-module). The same results are true for regular algebras of essentially finite type. For a singular irreducible affine algebraic variety X, in general, the algebra of differential operators D(O(X)) needs not be finitely generated nor (left or right) Noetherian, it is proved that each term D(O(X))i of the order filtration D(O(X)) = ∪i≥0D(O(X))i is a finitely generated left O(X)-module.

Generators and defining relations for ring of differential operators on smooth affine algebraic variety in prime characteristic
For the ring of differential operators D(O(X)) on a smooth affine algebraic variety X over a perfect field of characteristic p > 0, a set of algebra generators and a set of defining relations are found explicitly. A finite set of generators and a finite set of defining relations are given explicitly for the module DerK(O(X)) of derivations on the algebra O(X) of regular functions on the variety...
متن کاملQuantum Differential Operators on K[x]
Following the definition of quantum differential operators given in [LR1], we show that the ring of quantum differential operators on the affine line is the ring generated by x and ∂, the familiar differential operators on the line, along with two additional operators which we call ∂ 1 and ∂ −1 . We describe this ring both as a subring of the ring of graded endomorphisms and as a ring given by ...
متن کاملGelfand-Kirillov Dimension of Commutative Subalgebras of Simple Infinite Dimensional Algebras and their Quotient Division Algebras
Throughout this paper, K is a field, a module M over an algebra A means a left module denoted AM , ⊗ = ⊗K . In contrast to the finite dimensional case, there is no general theory of central simple infinite dimensional algebras. In some sense, structure of simple finite dimensional algebras is ‘determined’ by their maximal commutative subalgebras (subfields)[see [18] for example]. Whether this s...
متن کاملInvariant Theory and Differential Operators
Constructive invariant theory was a preoccupation of many nineteenth century mathematicians, but the topic fell out of fashion in the early twentieth century. In the latter twentieth century the topic enjoyed a resurgence, partly due to its connections with the construction of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry and partly due to the development of computational algorithms suitable for implemen...
متن کاملGenerators and Relations of the Affine Coordinate Rings of Connected Semisimple Algebraic Groups
Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. A canonical presentation by generators and relations of the algebra of regular functions on G is found. The conjectures of D.Flath and J.Towber, [FT], are proved. (1) Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. We obtain here...
