Characteristic free Galois rings and generalized Weyl algebras

Abstract

This paper develops from scratch a theory of Galois rings and orders over arbitrary fields. Our approach is different from others in the literature in that there is no non-modularity assumption. We prove, when the field is algebraically closed, the analogue of the Main Theorem of the representation theory of Galois orders by V. Futorny and S. Ovsienko. Then we develop a theory of infinite rank generalized Weyl algebras, which was never explicitly introduced in the literature before, and prove its basic properties. We expect their representation theory to be of interest for future works. Finally we show that under very mild assumptions, the invariants of generalized Weyl algebras under the action of non-exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups are a principal Galois orders, greatly generalizing, in an elementary fashion, results obtained previously for the Weyl algebras.

A local relative trace formula for F*\SL(2,F)

In this note, we derive explicitly the local relative trace formula for the symmetric space F*\SL(2,F) at the level of Lie algebras, where F is a p-adic field of residue characteristic greater than two and F* is the set of invertible elements in F. This is perhaps one of the simplest non-trivial analogs of the trace formula, and also a motivating example for the author's work (in preparation) on the relative trace formula.

Semi-infinite parabolic IC-sheaf

Let G be a connected reductive group, P its parabolic subgroup. We consider the parabolic semi-infinite category of sheaves on the affine Grassmanian of G and construct the parabolic version of the semi-infinite IC-sheaf of each orbit. We establish some of its properties and relate it to sheaves on the Drinfeld compactification of the moduli stack Bun_P of P-torsors on a curve. We also relate the parabolic semi-infinite IC-sheaf with the dual baby Verma object on the spectral side.

The Grothendieck group of an extriangulated category

In this paper, we investigate the split Grothendieck group $K^{\rm sp}_{0}(\mathcal{M})$ of a $d$-rigid subcategory $\mathcal{M}$ in an extriangulated category $\mathscr{C}$. As applications, we prove the following results: (1) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a silting subcategory, then the Grothendieck group $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to $K_{0}^{\rm sp}(\mathcal{M})$; (2) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory, then $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to the index Grothendieck group $K_{0}^{\rm in}(\mathcal{M})$; (3) Let $\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d}$ be the $d$-cluster category of type $A_n$. If $d$ is even, then $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong \mathbb{Z}/(n+1)\mathbb{Z}$. If $d$ is odd, then $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong \mathbb{Z}$ if $n$ is odd; $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong 0$ if $n$ is even.
