How to regularize singular vectors and kill the dynamical Weyl group

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the meromorphic family of intertwining operators between Verma modules and their products with finite-dimensional ones. A regularizing operator, acting in a finite dimensional module U, makes this family holomorphic, and conjugates the dynamical Weyl group operators to constant operators. We prove uniqueness property for regularizing operators, and construct them explicitly for the Lie algebra sl_3.


Let \(\mathfrak{g}\) be a simple Lie algebra, \(M(\lambda)\) denote the Verma \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module with highest weight \(\lambda\), and \(F\) be a finite-dimensional \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module. In the paper under review the authors study the singularities of certain intertwining operators \(\Phi_{\lambda}^{v}\in \text{Hom}_{\mathfrak{g}}(M(\lambda+\mu), M(\lambda)\otimes F)\), where \(v\in F\) is a vector of weight \(\mu\). The main objective of the present paper is to regularize the family \(\Phi_{\lambda}^{v}\), that is to construct a new family, \(\widetilde{\Phi}_{\lambda}^{v}\), of intertwining operators holomorphically depending on \(\lambda\) and \(v\). To do this the authors introduce the notion of a regularizing operator on \(V\), collecting the axioms along the way that are necessary to do the job described above. It is not immediate that a regularizing operator exists, and, in fact, the authors only show that such operators exist for the algebras \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\) and \(\mathfrak{sl}_3\). In the case when a regularizing operator exists, it is shown to be unique in some sense. Finally, it is shown that any regularizing operator conjugates the dynamical Weyl group operators to constant operators.
