It is shown that projectivized irreducible components of nilpotent cones of complex symmetric spaces are projective self-dual algebraic varieties. Other properties equivalent to their projective self-duality are found. 1. Let g be a semisimple complex Lie algebra, let G be the adjoint group of g, and let θ ∈ Aut g be an element of order 2. We set k := {x ∈ g | θ(x) = x}, p := {x ∈ g | θ(x) = −x...

A finite W -algebra U(g, e) is a certain finitely generated algebra that can be viewed as the enveloping algebra of the Slodowy slice to the adjoint orbit of a nilpotent element e of a complex reductive Lie algebra g. It is possible to give the tensor product of a U(g, e)-module with a finite dimensional U(g)module the structure of a U(g, e)-module; we refer to such tensor products as translati...

We study relations between the two-parameter Uq(sl(n))-invariant deformation quantization on sl∗(n) and the reflection equation algebra. The latter is described by a quantum permutation on End(C) given explicitly. The reflection equation algebra is used for constructing the oneparameter quantization on coadjoint orbits, including symmetric and certain bisymmetric and nilpotent ones. Our approac...

Let X be a finite set and let k be a commutative ring. We consider the k-algebra of the monoid of all relations on X, modulo the ideal generated by the relations factorizing through a set of cardinality strictly smaller than Card(X), called inessential relations. This quotient is called the essential algebra associated to X. We then define a suitable nilpotent ideal of the essential algebra and...

We study relations between the two-parameter Uq(sl(n))-covariant deformation quantization on sl∗(n) and the reflection equation algebra. The latter is described by a quantum permutation on End(C) given explicitly. The reflection equation algebra is used for constructing the one-parameter quantization on coadjoint orbits, including symmetric, certain bisymmetric and nilpotent ones. Our approach ...

Let G0 denote a compact semisimple Lie algebra and U a finite dimensional real G0 module. The vector space N0 = U ⊕ G0 admits a canonical 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra structure with [N0,N0] = G0 and an inner product 〈, 〉, unique up to scaling, for which the elements of G0 are skew symmetric derivations of N0. Let N0 denote the corresponding simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group with Lie a...

We examine actions of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras on central simple division in characteristic 0. (By a action we mean module algebra structure.) In all examples considered, show that the given does admit faithful algebra, and construct such algebra. This is contrast to earlier work Etingof Walton, which it was shown most do not fields. consider bosonizations Nichols finite Cartan ...

We show that a left-invariant metric g on a nilpotent Lie group N is a soliton metric if and only if a matrix U and vector v associated the manifold (N, g) satisfy the matrix equation Uv = [1], where [1] is a vector with every entry a one. We associate a generalized Cartan matrix to the matrix U and use the theory of Kac-Moody algebras to analyze the solution spaces for such linear systems. We ...

A new 2-parameter quadratic deformation of the quantum oscillator algebra and its 1-parameter deformed Heisenberg subalgebra are considered. An infinite dimensional Fock module representation is presented which at roots of unity contains null vectors and so is reducible to a finite dimensional representation. The cyclic, nilpotent and unitary representations are discussed. Witten’s deformation ...

We introduce the notion of Gröbner S-basis of an ideal of the free associative algebra K〈X〉 over a field K invariant under the action of a semigroup S of endomorphisms of the algebra. We calculate the Gröbner S-bases of the ideal corresponding to the universal enveloping algebra of the free nilpotent of class 2 Lie algebra and of the T-ideal generated by the polynomial identity [x, y, z] = 0, w...
