Injective dimension of Weyl algebras over affine coefficient rings

The concern of this paper is to derive formulas for the injective dimension of then- th Weyl algebraA _n (R) in casek is a field of characteristic zero andR is a commutative affinek-algebra of finite injective dimension. For the casen=1 we prove a more general result from which the above result follows. Such formulas can be viewed as generalizations of the corresponding results given by J. C. McConnell in the caseR has finite global dimension.Project supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation for Youth     

Derivations of generalized Weyl algebras

A class of the associative and Lie algebras A[D] = A F[D] of Weyl type are studied, where A is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field F of characteristic zero, and F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a finite dimensional commutative subalgebra of locally finite derivations of A such that A is D-simple. The derivations of these associative and Lie algebras are precisely determined.     

The asymptotic distribution of traces of Maass–Poincaré series

We establish an asymptotic formula with a power savings in the error term for traces of CM values of a family of Maass–Poincaré series which contains the modular j-function as a special case. By work of Borcherds (1998) [2], Zagier (2002) [31], and Bringmann and Ono (2007) [4], these traces are Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight weakly holomorphic modular forms and Maass forms.     

On a Family of Hyperplane Arrangements Related to the Affine Weyl Groups

Let be an irreducible crystallographic rootsystem in a Euclidean space V, with ⁺ theset of positive roots. For , , let be the hyperplane . We define a set of hyperplanes . This hyperplane arrangement is significant inthe study of the affine Weyl groups. In this paper it is shown that thePoincaré polynomial of is , where n is the rank of and h is the Coxeter number of the finiteCoxeter group corresponding to .     

Poincaré Series of the Weyl Groups of the Elliptic Root Systems A 1 (1,1), A 1 (1,1)* and A 2 (1,1)

We calculate the Poincaré series of the elliptic Weyl group W(A ₂ ^(1,1)), which is the Weyl group of the elliptic root system of type A ₂ ^(1,1). The generators and relations of W(A ₂ ^(1,1)) have been already given by K. Saito and the author.     

Fixed rings of quantum generalized Weyl algebras

Abstract

Generalized Weyl algebras (GWAs) appear in diverse areas of mathematics including mathematical physics, noncommutative algebra, and representation theory. We study the invariants of quantum GWAs under finite order automorphisms. We extend a theorem of Jordan and Wells and apply it to determine the fixed ring of quantum GWAs under diagonal automorphisms. We further study properties of the fixed rings including global dimension, the Calabi–Yau property, rigidity, and simplicity.     

Lyapunov conditions for Super Poincaré inequalities

We show how to use Lyapunov functions to obtain functional inequalities which are stronger than Poincaré inequality (for instance logarithmic Sobolev or F-Sobolev). The case of Poincaré and weak Poincaré inequalities was studied in [D. Bakry, P. Cattiaux, A. Guillin, Rate of convergence for ergodic continuous Markov processes: Lyapunov versus Poincaré, J. Funct. Anal. 254 (3) (2008) 727-759. Available on Mathematics arXiv:math.PR/0703355, 2007]. This approach allows us to recover and extend in a unified way some known criteria in the euclidean case (Bakry and Emery, Wang, Kusuoka and Stroock, …).     

Weyl equivalence for rank 2 Nichols algebras of diagonal type

Yetter-Drinfel'd modules of diagonal type admit an equivalence relation which preserves dimension and Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension of the corresponding Nichols algebras. This relation is determined explicity for all rank 2 Yetter-Drinfel'd modules where the Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension is known to be finite.

Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures on Hochschild cohomology of generalized Weyl algebras

We devote to the calculation of Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures on the Hochschild cohomology of skew Calabi–Yau generalized Weyl algebras. We first establish a Van den Bergh duality at the level of complex. Then based on the results of Solotar et al., we apply Kowalzig and Krähmer's method to the Hochschild homology of generalized Weyl algebras, and translate the homological information into cohomological one by virtue of the Van den Bergh duality, obtaining the desired Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures. Finally, we apply our results to quantum weighted projective lines and Podleś quantum spheres, and the Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures for them are described completely.     

On the best constant of weighted Poincaré inequalities

We compute the optimal constant for some weighted Poincaré inequalities obtained by Fausto Ferrari and Enrico Valdinoci in [F. Ferrari, E. Valdinoci, Some weighted Poincaré inequalities, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 58 (4) (2009) 1619-1637].

Isomorphism problems and groups of automorphisms for generalized Weyl algebras

We present solutions to isomorphism problems for various generalized Weyl algebras, including deformations of type-A Kleinian singularities and the algebras similar to introduced by S. P. Smith. For the former, we generalize results of Dixmier on the first Weyl algebra and the minimal primitive factors of by finding sets of generators for the group of automorphisms.

     

Poincaré type theorems for non-autonomous systems

In this paper we establish analytic equivalence theorems of Poincaré and Poincaré-Dulac type for analytic non-autonomous differential systems based on the dichotomy spectrum of their linear part. As applications of the theorem, normal forms linearize for two illustrative examples.     

Equivariant Poincaré duality for quantum group actions

We extend the notion of Poincaré duality in KK-theory to the setting of quantum group actions. An important ingredient in our approach is the replacement of ordinary tensor products by braided tensor products. Along the way we discuss general properties of equivariant KK-theory for locally compact quantum groups, including the construction of exterior products. As an example, we prove that the standard Podle? sphere is equivariantly Poincaré dual to itself.     

A CR Poincaré inequality on the complex sphere

The main purpose of this paper is to prove a CR Poincaré inequality with sharp exponent on the sphere in complex space. We use the complex tangential gradient on the sphere instead of the usual Laplace-Beltrami gradient on the sphere.     

Some Lie superalgebras associated to the Weyl algebras

Let be the Lie superalgebra . We show that there is a surjective homomorphism from to the Weyl algebra , and we use this to construct an analog of the Joseph ideal. We also obtain a decomposition of the adjoint representation of on and use this to show that if is made into a Lie superalgebra using its natural -grading, then . In addition, we show that if and are isomorphic as Lie superalgebras, then . This answers a question of S. Montgomery.

     

Poincaré and Opial inequalities for vector-valued convolution products

Various L^p$L^p$ form Poincaré and Opial inequalities are given for vector-valued convolution products. We apply our results to infinitesimal generators of _C0$C_0$-semigroups and cosine functions. Typical examples of these operators are differential operators in Lebesgue spaces.     

From concentration to logarithmic Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities

We give a new proof of the fact that Gaussian concentration implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality when the curvature is bounded from below, and also that exponential concentration implies Poincaré inequality under null curvature condition. Our proof holds on non-smooth structures, such as length spaces, and provides a universal control of the constants. We also give a new proof of the equivalence between dimension free Gaussian concentration and Talagrand's transport inequality.
