Classification of Graded Left-symmetric Algebra Structures on Witt and Virasoro Algebras

Abstract

We find that a compatible graded left-symmetric algebra structure on the Witt algebra induces an indecomposable module of the Witt algebra with 1-dimensional weight spaces by its left multiplication operators. From the classification of such modules of the Witt algebra, the compatible graded left-symmetric algebra structures on the Witt algebra are classified. All of them are simple and they include the examples given by Chapoton and Kupershmidt. Furthermore, we classify the central extensions of these graded left-symmetric algebras which give the compatible graded left-symmetric algebra structures on the Virasoro algebra. They coincide with the examples given by Kupershmidt.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras II: Local structure and chiral Zhu algebras

Given a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we constructed in our previous paper a derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, together with chiral modules $\\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^+$ and $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^-$ associated to a puncture, and a chiral bimodule $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}$ associated to a node. Furthermore, these constructions assemble to a factorization $\mathcal{A}$-module over any family of nodal punctured curves. In this paper, we show that in the case where $\mathcal{A}$ is constructed from a quasi-conformal vertex algebra $V$, the zeroth homology algebra $H^0\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}$ is naturally isomorphic to Zhu's associative algebra $A(V)$, and we identify $H^0\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}$ with the bimodule underlying the mode-transition algebra of Damiolini-Gibney-Krashen. We also give an explicit description of the smoothing module $H^0\tilde{\mathfrak{Z}}_{\mathcal{C}}$ which describes the deformation of $H^0\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}$ which we attach to a smoothing family of a nodal curve. We therefore get a geometric interpretation of the Zhu algebra and the mode-transition algebra, as the integration of a factorization algebra over a certain compactification of configuration spaces of punctured nodal curves.

Braided Hopf algebroids and Lie algebroids

We construct braided Hopf algebroids in a braided monoidal category over a field $k$ and study its properties using graphical representation. Then we study Ehresmann-Schauenburg Hopf algebroids assocaited to braided Hopf Galois extensions. We introduce braided Lie-Rinehart algebras which generalize the definition in \cite{ALP24, ALP23, ALP25} and study its universal enveloping algebra under symmetric condition. In particular, we introduce Lie-Rinehart algebras (braided Lie-algebroids) associated with braided Hopf algebroids in the category of the module of a triangular Hopf algebra. We then focus on the case for braided Ehresmann-Schauenburg Hopf algebroids and study their right invariant vector fields, which turn out to be isomorphic to the $H$-equivariant vector fields on the quantum principal bundle (Hopf Galois extension) as Lie-Rinehart algebras. Finally, we introduce braided jet Hopf algebroids associate to braided Hopf algebroids in the case that the source and target subalgebra belong to the braided center. Moreover, we show there is a dual pairing between the $k$-order universal enveloping algebra of the braided right invariant vector fields and the $k$-th jet space of a braided Hopf algebroid and further more a skew pairing between the universal enveloping algebra of its braided right invariant vector fields and its jet Hopf algebroid under a finiteness condition.

Affine quantum Schur--Weyl duality

Let $\mathpzc K$ be an arbitrary commutative ring containing an invertible element $\varepsilon$. Let ${\mathcal H}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(r)_{\mathpzc K}$ be the extended affine Hecke algebra of type $A$ with Hecke parameter $\varepsilon$, let $Ω_{\mathpzc K}^{\otimes r}$ be the affine tensor space, and let ${\mathcal S}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(n,r)_{\mathpzc K}$ be the corresponding affine quantum Schur algebra. We first prove that the natural right action of ${\mathcal H}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(r)_{\mathpzc K}$ on $Ω_{\mathpzc K}^{\otimes r}$ is always faithful. Assume further that $\mathpzc K$ is a field of characteristic $0$ and that $\varepsilon$ is not a root of unity. We prove that, for any $n\geq 2$, the natural algebra homomorphism $ξ_r:{\mathcal H}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(r)_{\mathpzc K}\rightarrow\operatorname{End}_{{\mathcal S}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(n,r)_{\mathpzc K}}(Ω_{\mathpzc K}^{\otimes r})^{\mathrm{op}}$ is an isomorphism. This proves Conjecture~3.8.8 of \cite{DDF}. As an application, we prove the conjecture formulated in \cite[5.2.4]{DDF} concerning the center of the affine quantum Schur algebra. We also prove that ${\mathcal S}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(n,r)_{\mathpzc K}$ is left and right Noetherian whenever $\mathpzc K$ is a Noetherian commutative ring, which verify a conjecture in \cite[Rem. 1.7]{DY}.
