Subalgebras of the Fomin-Kirillov algebra

Publication date 25 November 2016

Abstract: The Fomin-Kirillov algebra

m a t h c a l E_{n}

is a noncommutative quadratic algebra with a generator for every edge of the complete graph on

n

vertices. For any graph

G

on

n

vertices, we define

m a t h c a l E_{G}

to be the subalgebra of

m a t h c a l E_{n}

generated by the edges of

G

. We show that these algebras have many parallels with Coxeter groups and their nil-Coxeter algebras: for instance,

m a t h c a l E_{G}

is a free

m a t h c a l E_{H}

-module for any

H s u b s e t e q G

, and if

m a t h c a l E_{G}

is finite-dimensional, then its Hilbert series has symmetric coefficients. We determine explicit monomial bases and Hilbert series for

m a t h c a l E_{G}

when

G

is a simply-laced finite Dynkin diagram or a cycle, in particular showing that

m a t h c a l E_{G}

is finite-dimensional in these cases. We also present conjectures for the Hilbert series of

m a t h c a l E_{i l d e D_{n}}

,

m a t h c a l E_{i l d e E_{6}}

, and

m a t h c a l E_{i l d e E_{7}}

, as well as for which graphs

G

on six vertices

m a t h c a l E_{G}

is finite-dimensional.
