Abstract: We relate quantum degree cones, parametrizing PBW degenerations of quantized enveloping algebras, to (negative tight monomial) cones introduced by Lusztig in the study of monomials in canonical bases, to K-theoretic cones for quiver representations, and to some maximal prime cones in tropical flag varieties.

Review text

The authors study different degeneration processes appearing in algebraic Lie theory. They study toric degenerations of flag varieties \(G/B\) of complex semisimple Lie algebras, the totality encoded in tropical flag varieties with respect to Plücker embeddings. The authors also investigate the PBW-type degenerations of quantized enveloping algebras \(U_q(\mathfrak{g})\) associated with complex semisimple Lie algebras \(\mathfrak{g}=\text{Lie}(G)\). One link between these two degenerations is via a class of polyhedral cones called quantum degree cones, which depend on the complex simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\) and a choice of a reduced decomposition of the longest element in the Weyl group of \(\mathfrak{g}\). In fact, the negative part of the quantized enveloping algebra is generated by the quantum PBW root vectors with respect to some noncommutative straightening relations. The quantum degree cone is a certain Gröbner fan, where the monomial ordering is encoded in the reduced decomposition of the longest element in the Weyl group of \(\mathfrak{g}\). The first main result is an embedding of the quantum degree cone into the negative tight monomial cone of the Langlands dual Lie algebra (Corollary 1, page 824). The second main result is a proof for reduced decompositions adapted to a Dynkin quiver (Theorem 4, page 830).
