Dirac series for complex $E_7$

Abstract

This paper classifies the Dirac series for complex $E_7$. As applications, we verify a few conjectures raised in 2011, 2019 and 2020 for this exceptional Lie group. In particular, according to Conjecture 1.1 of Barbasch and Pandzic [BP], our classification should be helpful for understanding the unitary dual of complex $E_7$.

Lowest-weight modules over the spherical subalgebra of a rational Cherednik algebra

Let $W$ be a finite reflection group acting on a finite-dimensional complex vector space $\h$, let $H_c(W,\h)$ be the associated rational Cherednik algebra, and let $\Dc = eH_ce$ be its spherical subalgebra. Building on the framework of BÞgvad and Källström for invariant differential operators, subsequently applied to symmetric groups, we show that, for generic parameter $c$, a Lie subalgebra $\fa\subset\Dc$ generated by basic invariants always generates $\Dc$ itself (via the Levasseur--Stafford theorem), and that, granted a mild compatibility hypothesis between the grading element and $\fa$, verified here in the rank-one case, the category of $\Dc$-submodules of the polynomial ring $B=\mathbb C[\h]$ is equivalent to the category of modules over a Cartan-type ring $R_\fa$ built from $\fa$. The ring $R_\fa$ surjects onto the more naively defined $ \displaystyle R_c = \Dc^0 \big/ \big(\Dc^0 \cap \Dc \Dc^-\big), $ and the two coincide whenever this surjection is injective, which we verify in the rank-one case; whether this holds in general, and in particular for the families treated below, is left open. As an application, we determine explicit generators of $\fa$ for the imprimitive complex reflection groups $G(m,1,n)$ ($e=1$), recovering the classical Coxeter group $B_n$ as a special case. For $D_n=G(2,2,n)$, where an extra generator obstruction arises for $e>1$, we resolve the generation problem for $n=3$ completely by exploiting the exceptional isomorphism $D_3 \cong A_3$, leaving the general case $n\geq4$ open.

On the first relative Hochschild cohomology

In this paper we investigate the Lie algebra structure of the first relative Hochschild cohomology. Let $A,B$ be finite-dimensional basic $k$-algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, such that $Q_B$ is a subquiver of $Q_A$. We show that if the complement of $Q_A$ by the arrows of $Q_B$ is a simple directed graph, then the first relative Hochschild cohomology $\mathrm{HH}^1(A|B)$ is a solvable Lie algebra. We also compute the Lie algebra structure of the first relative Hochschild cohomology for radical square zero algebras and for dual extension algebras of directed monomial algebras.

Dirac operators for infinite-dimensional color Lie algebras

We develop the Dirac formalism for infinite-dimensional quadratic $\mathbb{Z}$-graded color Lie algebras with finite-dimensional components. Cubic Dirac operators are defined in completions of the quantum Weil algebra determined by the $\mathbb{Z}$-grading. The same grading fixes the normal-ordering convention. Normal ordering introduces a cohomological obstruction to the construction, measured by a color analogue of the Kac-Peterson class. When this class is trivial, we construct cubic and relative cubic Dirac operators satisfying the expected invariance properties and Parthasarathy-type square formulas. We further extend the Chern-Weil homomorphism to completed $\mathfrak{g}$-differential algebras and use it to identify the classical precursor of the cubic Dirac operator with the Chern-Simons element associated with the invariant quadratic polynomial determined by the quadratic structure. As applications, we consider symmetrizable Kac-Moody superalgebras. In this setting, the Kac-Peterson class is trivial, with primitive given by the Weyl vector, which yields the linear correction defining the cubic Dirac operator. We then use the relative Dirac operator to extract representation-theoretic information from highest weight supermodules. As an explicit example, for the affine Kac-Moody superalgebra associated with $\mathfrak{osp}(1\vert 2n)$, we compute the kernel of $\operatorname{D}_{\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}_{\bar{0}}}$ on integrable highest weight supermodules. Finally, for unitarizable highest weight supermodules, we explain why the usual Dirac inequality is not available in the affine setting.
