Quantum Shuffles and Quantum Supergroups of Basic Type

Abstract

We initiate the study of several distinguished bases for the positive half of a quantum supergroup $U_q$ associated to a general super Cartan datum $(\mathrm{I}, (\cdot,\cdot))$ of basic type inside a quantum shuffle superalgebra. The combinatorics of words for an arbitrary total ordering on $\mathrm{I}$ is developed in connection with the root system associated to $\mathrm{I}$. The monomial, Lyndon, and PBW bases of $U_q$ are constructed, and moreover, a direct proof of the orthogonality of the PBW basis is provided within the framework of quantum shuffles. Consequently, the canonical basis is constructed for $U_q$ associated to the standard super Cartan datum of type $\mathfrak{gl}(n|1)$, $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$, or $\mathfrak{osp}(2|2n)$ or an arbitrary non-super Cartan datum. In the non-super case, this refines Leclerc's work and provides a new self-contained construction of canonical bases. The canonical bases of $U_q$, of its polynomial modules, as well as of Kac modules in the case of quantum $\mathfrak{gl}(2|1)$ are explicitly worked out.

Factorization envelopes and enveloping vertex algebras

We develop a bornological version of Costello and Gwilliam's procedure for extracting vertex algebras from suitable prefactorization algebras on the complex plane. Using bornological complex analysis, we remove the discreteness condition imposed in their extraction theorem. We then construct, from a suitable Lie conformal algebra, a prefactorization algebra to which this extraction procedure applies, and prove that the resulting vertex algebra is isomorphic to the enveloping vertex algebra of the original Lie conformal algebra. Our construction uses a factorization envelope and extends the construction of Costello--Gwilliam in the affine vertex algebra case and that of Williams in the Virasoro vertex algebra case. Moreover, a super analogue yields new prefactorization algebras corresponding to vertex superalgebras, such as the Neveu--Schwarz vertex superalgebra, the $N=2$ vertex superalgebra, and the $N=4$ vertex superalgebra.

BiHom-L-R-smash biproduct and BiHom-Yetter-Drinfel'd-Long category

In this article, we first introduce the notion of BiHom-L-R-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-smash biproduct over a BiHom-Hopf algebra, denoted by $D\natural H$, where $m,n,p,q,s,t,u,v\in \mathbb{Z}$, and give the sufficient condition for $D\natural H$ to be a BiHom-bialgebra. Furthermore, we describe the concept of BiHom-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-Yetter-Drinfel'd-Long bimodule via BiHom-L-R-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-smash biproduct bialgebra, and prove that the category $\mathcal{LR}(H)(m,n,p,q)$ of BiHom-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-Yetter-Drinfel'd-Long bimodule is a strict braided monoidal category. Finally, for a finite-dimensional BiHom-Hopf algebra H, \(\mathcal{LR}(H)\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}\) is isomorphic to the BiHom-$\binom{s,t}{p,q}$-Yetter-Drinfel'd category \({}_{H\otimes H^*}^{H\otimes H^*}\mathcal{YD}\binom{s,t}{p,q}\) as braided monoidal categories.

On finite dimensionality of homology of subalgebras of vector fields

We show that finite tensor products of modules of tensor fields are Noetherian modules over any graded Lie subalgebra of finite codimension in the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$. As a corollary, we prove the conjecture of I.\,M. Gelfand, announced at the ICM in Nice in 1970, on the finite-dimensionality of the continuous cohomology of graded Lie subalgebras of finite codimension in the Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$.
