Abstract

The hypersurface in a 3-dimensional vector space with an isolated quasi-homogeneous elliptic singularity of type E_r,r=6,7,8, has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the family of del Pezzo surfaces of the corresponding type E_r provides a semiuniversal Poisson deformation of that Poisson structure. We also construct a deformation-quantization of the coordinate ring of such a del Pezzo surface. To this end, we first deform the polynomial algebra C[x,y,z] to a noncommutative algebra with generators x,y,z and the following 3 relations (where [u,v]_t = uv- t.vu): [x,y]_t=F_1(z), [y,z]_t=F_2(x), [z,x]_t=F_3(y). This gives a family of Calabi-Yau algebras A(F) parametrized by a complex number t and a triple F=(F_1,F_2,F_3), of polynomials in one variable of specifically chosen degrees. Our quantization of the coordinate ring of a del Pezzo surface is provided by noncommutative algebras of the form A(F)/(g) where (g) stands for the ideal of A(F) generated by a central element g, which generates the center of the algebra A(F) if F is generic enough.

Classification of finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of rank two in twisted Yetter--Drinfeld categories

Let \(G\) be a finite non-abelian group, let \(Φ\in Z^3(G,\mathbb C^\times)\) be normalized, and let \(V,W\) be finite-dimensional simple objects of \({}_G^G\mathcal{YD}^Φ\). We classify, up to interchange, the braided-indecomposable pairs \((V,W)\) whose supports generate \(G\) and for which \(\mathcal B(V\oplus W)\) is finite-dimensional. The classification consists of eight cases with five possible support quandles. In every case the Cartan graph is standard of type \(A_2\), \(B_2\), or \(G_2\), and the dimension is determined explicitly. A new phenomenon occurs {in the \(Γ_2\) case}: the twisted setting admits a family of type \(G_2\) absent from the ordinary \(Γ_2\) classification and we construct an explicit example over a non-abelian group of order \(16\).

Facets of nondegeneracy: central type factor groups, Heisenberg representations and Hadamard matrices

Given a pair of complementary subgroups $P$ and $N$ of a finite group $G$, we first discuss how the same type of functions $\mathbb E\colon P\times N\to \mathbb T$, which we call bi-$1$-cocycles, appear naturally in the study of projective representations of $G$ of Heisenberg type and second cohomology of $G$ and of its dual quantum group $\widehat G$. We show then that such representations are irreducible and the corresponding ordinary and dual $2$-cocycles are nondegenerate if and only if the matrix $(\mathbb E(p,n))_{p,n}$ is invertible, if and only if it is Hadamard. We illustrate the result with examples arising from symplectic nilpotent Lie algebras over finite fields with two complementary Lagrangian subalgebras.
