Generic points in representation varieties with applications to Lie theory and 0-Schur algebras
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Bath
Department Name: Mathematical Sciences
Abstract
Representation theory of quivers (RQT)and Lie theory (LT) are closelyrelated, for instance via root systems.This proposalexplores new connectionsbetween RTQ, LT,quantised enveloping algebras (QEA) and quantised Schur algebras ( QSA).The applicant will first study generic phenomena inrepresentation varieties, in particular, the existence of open orbits, and genericpoints in varieties of pairs of projective representations. Then she will work oninterpreting the generic phenomena in the setting of LT, QEA and QSA.The main applications will be to show the existence of Richardson elementsfor some classes of Lie algebras, in particular for seaweed Lie algebras. Otherapplications include a natural interpretation of combinatorial properties ofroot systems of simple Lie algebras and a new construction of crystal bases.
Planned Impact
The project combines different research areas in mathematics, it will establish new connections and open up new research areas for the future. The research results achieved will be reported in seminars and presented at conferences. Finally the results will be sent to leading journals in mathematics to be published. The applicant has a wide network of international research contacts, who will benefit from the results of this project. Via the cooperation and communication between the applicant and her contacts, this project will contribute to international academic cooperation between UK, and for instance China, Germany, France, Switzerland and Norway.

| Description | The research project was successful and the main goals were achieved. In particular I have achieved the following. 1. The geometric construction of 0-Schur algebras and the structure of 0-Schur algebras. Since the study of quantum groups in physics, the subject of quantised algebras has been an important research area in mathematics. The properties of a quantised algebra depends on an extra parameter q. The 0-version of the algebra (i.e. when q=0) has in particular a quite different feature from the generic version. A geometric construction of the 0-Schur algebra leads to a monoid structure and thus makes the 0-algebra easier to study. For instance, we give a natural construction of an important class of modules (i.e. projective modules) and study the relations between the indecomposable projective modules via homomorphisms, which can lead to a good presentation of the algebras using oriented graphs (i.e. quivers). 2. On generic equivalence: generic equivalence studies relation between sub-varieties of generic points in different algebraic varieties. We apply generic equivalence to show that the existence of Richardson elements for quiver Lie algebras by reducing the problem to about existence of open orbits of simpler varieties with a simpler group action. 3. The existence of Richardson elements for seaweed Lie algebra/double parabolic algebras for classic Lie algebras. Our results on Richardson elements for seaweed Lie algebras of classical type demonstrate a striking phenomenon similar to the classification of simple Lie algebras. That is , Richardson elements exists for seaweed Lie algebras of classical type and they do not necessarily exist for seaweed Lie algebras of infinite type. |
