AbstractLet be the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra . Using results of Alev–Dumas and Caldero related to the center of , we show that this algebra is free over its center. This is reminiscent of Kostant's separation of variables for the enveloping algebra U(g) of a complex semisimple Lie algebra g, and also of an analogous result of Joseph–Letzter for the quantum algebra Ŭq(g). Of greater importance to its representation theory is the fact that is free over a larger polynomial subalgebra N in n variables. Induction from N to provides infinite-dimensional modules with good properties, including a grading that is inherited by submodules.

AbstractUsing Beilinson–Bernstein localisation, we give another proof of Levasseur's theorem on the Krull dimension of the enveloping algebra of a complex semisimple Lie algebra. The proof also extends to the case of affinoid enveloping algebras.

AbstractWe construct an explicit set of algebraically independent generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer of a nilpotent matrix in the general linear Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. In particular, this gives a new proof of the freeness of the center, a result first proved by Panyushev, Premet and Yakimova.

Let D be the factor of the enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra by its minimal primitive ideal with trival central character. We give a geometric description of the Chern character ch: K0(D)→HC0(D) and the state (of the maximal ideal m) s: K0(D)→K0(D/m) = ℤ in terms of the Euler characteristic χ:K0()→ℤ, where is the associated flag variety.

This paper presents new generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the symplectic Lie algebra. These generators are expressed in terms of the column-permanent and it is easy to calculate their eigenvalues on irreducible representations. We can regard these generators as the counterpart of central elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra given in terms of the column-determinant by Wachi. The earliest prototype of all these central elements is the Capelli determinants in the universal enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra.
