Support varieties for quantum groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For any module M over small quantum group one defines the support variety using construction from the theory of restricted Lie algebras. It is a closed conical subset of nilpotent cone of the corresponding Lie algebra. If module M is a module over the quantum group Uxi with divided powers then its support variety is invariant under the action of the corresponding algebraic group. In this case we relate codimension 2a of the support variety of M in nilpotent cone and dimension of M. Namely, we prove that dimM is `almost' divisible by la. Further, we give an a priori estimate for support variety of a module in a given linkage class. We compute the support varieties for Weyl modules. Also we compute the support varieties for tilting modules over quantum SLn and verify in this case Humphreys' Conjecture which relates support varieties of tilting modules with Lusztig's bijection between nilpotent orbits and two-sided cells in the affine Weyl group.
