Finite Generation of the Group of Eigenvalues for Sets of Derivations or Automorphisms of Division Algebras

Abstract: Let

D

be a division algebra such that

D D^{o}

is a Noetherian algebra, then any division subalgebra of

D

is a {em finitely generated} division algebra. Let

D

be a finite set of commuting derivations or automorphisms of the division algebra

D

, then the group

E v (D)

of common eigenvalues (i.e. {em weights}) is a {em finitely generated abelian} group. Typical examples of

D

are the quotient division algebra

m F r a c (C D (X))

of the ring of differential operators

C D (X)

on a smooth irreducible affine variety

X

over a field

K

of characteristic zero, and the quotient division algebra

m F r a c (U (G g))

of the universal enveloping algebra

U (G g)

of a finite dimensional Lie algebra

G g

. It is proved that the algebra of differential operators

C D (X)

is isomorphic to its opposite algebra

C D (X)^{o}

.
