Algebra Seminar by Alexey Sevastyanov

All members of the department are welcome: undergraduates, postgraduates, postdocs, teaching staff, technical staff - anyone who would like to attend and learn a little bit about what our speakers do in their research career. Members from other disciplines within the School, and the wider University community, are also welcome to attend.

All PhD students in Chemistry are expected to attend as part of their PhD training.

De Concini-Kac-Procesi conjecture, Schubert cells and q-W algebras

De Concini-Kac-Procesi conjecture gives a good estimate forthe dimensions of finite--dimensional non-restrictedrepresentations of quantum groups at m-th root of unity. According to DeConcini, Kac and Procesi such representations can be split into familiesparametrized by conjugacy classes in an algebraic group G, and thedimensions of representations corresponding to a conjugacy class O aredivisible by m^{dim O/2}.I shall present an approach to the proof of De Concini-Kac-Procesiconjecture based on the use of q-W algebras and Bruhat decomposition inG. It turns out that properties of representations corresponding to aconjugacy class O depend on the properties of intersection of O withcertain Bruhat cells.
