Prime factors of quantum Schubert cell algebras and clusters for quantum Richardson varieties

The understanding of the topology of the spectra of quantum Schubert cell algebras hinges on the description of their prime factors by ideals invariant under the maximal torus of the ambient Kac–Moody group. We give an explicit description of these prime quotients by expressing their Cauchon generators in terms of sequences of normal elements in chains of subalgebras. Based on this, we construct large families of quantum clusters for all of these algebras and the quantum Richardson varieties associated to arbitrary symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebras and all pairs of Weyl group elements. Along the way we develop a quantum version of the Fomin–Zelevinsky twist map for all quantum Richardson varieties. Furthermore, we establish an explicit relationship between the Goodearl–Letzter and Cauchon approaches to the descriptions of the spectra of symmetric CGL extensions.

Grothendieck–Plücker Images of Hilbert Schemes are Degenerate

We study the decompositions of Hilbert schemes induced by the Schubert cell decomposition of the Grassmannian variety and show that Hilbert schemes admit a stratification into locally closed subschemes along which the generic initial ideals remain the same. We give two applications. First, we give completely geometric proofs of the existence of the generic initial ideals and of their Borel fixed properties. Second, we prove that when a Hilbert scheme of non-constant Hilbert polynomial is embedded by the Grothendieck–Plücker embedding of a high enough degree, it must be degenerate.

Analogues of quantum Schubert cell algebras in PBW-deformations of quantum groups

We focus on a class of filtered quantum algebras [Formula: see text] which are both coideal subalgebras of quantum groups and Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt (PBW)-deformations of their negative parts. In [Y. Xu and S. Yang, PBW-deformations of quantum groups, J. Algebra 408 (2014) 222–249], Xu and Yang proved that braid group actions on [Formula: see text] introduced by Kolb and Pellegrini can be used to define root vectors and construct PBW bases for [Formula: see text]. In this present paper, for each element [Formula: see text] in the Weyl group of [Formula: see text] we first introduce a subspace [Formula: see text] and a subalgebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] can be considered as an analogue of quantum Schubert cell algebra. Then a sufficient and necessary condition on [Formula: see text] is given for [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we prove that [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be generated by the same simple reflections. Finally, we characterize the algebra [Formula: see text] which can be obtained via an iterated Ore extension. Our results show that quantum groups and their PBW-deformations really have some different properties.

SPECTRA AND CATENARITY OF MULTI-PARAMETER QUANTUM SCHUBERT CELLS

We study the ring theory of the multi-parameter deformations of the quantum Schubert cell algebras obtained from 2-cocycle twists. This is a large family, which extends the Artin–Schelter–Tate algebras of twisted quantum matrices. We classify set theoretically the spectra of all such multi-parameter quantum Schubert cell algebras, construct each of their prime ideals by contracting from explicit normal localizations and prove formulas for the dimensions of their Goodearl–Letzter strata for base fields of arbitrary characteristic and all deformation parameters that are not roots of unity. Furthermore, we prove that the spectra of these algebras are normally separated and that all such algebras are catenary.

Total positivity for cominuscule Grassmannians

International audience In this paper we explore the combinatorics of the non-negative part $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$ of a cominuscule Grassmannian. For each such Grassmannian we define Le-diagrams ― certain fillings of generalized Young diagrams which are in bijection with the cells of $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$. In the classical cases, we describe Le-diagrams explicitly in terms of pattern avoidance. We also define a game on diagrams, by which one can reduce an arbitrary diagram to a Le-diagram. We give enumerative results and relate our Le-diagrams to other combinatorial objects. Surprisingly, the totally non-negative cells in the open Schubert cell of the odd and even orthogonal Grassmannians are (essentially) in bijection with preference functions and atomic preference functions respectively. Dans cet article nous schtroumpfons la combinatoire de la partie non-négative $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$ d'une Grassmannienne cominuscule. Pour chaque Grassmannienne de ce type nous définissons les Le-diagrammes ― certains remplissages de diagrammes de Young généralisés en bijection avec les cellules de $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$. Dans les cas classiques, nous décrivons les Le-diagrammes explicitement en termes d'évitement de certains motifs. Aussi nous définissons un jeu sur les diagrammes, avec lequel on peut réduire un diagramme arbitraire à un Le-diagramme. Nous donnons les résultats énumératifs et nous relions nos Le-diagrammes à d'autres objets combinatoires. Étonnamment, les cellules non-négatives dans la cellule de Schubert ouverte des Grassmanniennes orthogonales impaires et paires sont essentiellement en bijection avec les fonctions de préférence et les fonctions de préférence atomiques.
