Explicit generators of the centre of the quantum group

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a slightly generalised version of the Jimbo quantum group associated with any finite dimensional simple Lie algebra mathfrakg, we show that its centre is a polynomial algebra. We construct a set of algebraically independent central elements, each associated with a fundamental weight of mathfrakg, and prove that they generate the entire centre of the quantum group. A key ingredient in the proofs of these results is a quantum Harish-Chandra isomorphism for the generalised quantum group, which is proven in some details.


In the paper under review, the author provides explicit generators of the center of any generalized quantum group. Here a generalized quantum group is a slight modification of a standard quantum group by using group-like generators \(K_\mu\) for \(\mu\) in the weight lattice instead of \(K_\alpha\) for \(\alpha\) in the root lattice. Moreover, a finite generating set of the center is shown to be algebraically independent, which implies that the center is isomorphic to a polynomial algebra.
