Abstract: Let R be a polynomial ring in m variables over a field of characteristic zero. We classify all rank n twisted generalized Weyl algebras over R, up to mathbbZn-graded isomorphisms, in terms of higher spin 6-vertex configurations. Examples of such algebras include infinite-dimensional primitive quotients of U(mathfrakg) where mathfrakg=mathfrakgln, mathfraksln, or mathfraksp2n, algebras related to U(widehatmathfraksl2) and a finite W-algebra associated to mathfraksl4. To accomplish this classification we first show that the problem is equivalent to classifying solutions to the binary and ternary consistency equations. Secondly, we show that the latter problem can be reduced to the case n=2, which can be solved using methods from previous work by the authors. As a consequence we obtain the surprising fact that (in the setting of the present paper) the ternary consistency relation follows from the binary consistency relation.


The main work of this paper is solving the graded isomorphism problem for a wide class of twisted generalized Weyl algebras, examples of which include infinite dimensional primitive quotients of the universal enveloping algebras of certain important classes of Lie algebras. Explicitly, let \(R\) be a polynomial ring in \(m\) variables over a field of characteristic zero, the authors classify all rank \(n\) twisted generalized Weyl algebras over \(R\), up to \(\mathbb{Z}^n\)-graded isomorphisms. To achieve this classification, the authors convert the problem to the task of classifying solutions to the binary and ternary consistency equations, then reduce it to the special case \(n = 2\), and finally solve this special case by applying methods from previous work of the authors. As a consequence, when \(R\) is a polynomial ring and the automorphisms are given by additive shifts, the binary consistency relation actually implies the ternary consistency relation.
