Title: Globally irreducible Weyl modules for quantum groups
The authors proved that a Weyl module for a simple algebraic group is irreducible over every field if and only if the module is isomorphic to the adjoint representation for $$E_{8}$$ or its highest weight is minuscule. In this paper, we prove an analogous criteria for irreducibility of Weyl modules over the quantum group $$U_{\zeta}({{\mathfrak g}})$$ where $${\mathfrak g}$$ is a complex simple Lie algebra and $$\zeta$$ ranges over roots of unity.  more » « less

  1. Let g \mathfrak {g} be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. We give a classification of contravariant forms on the nondegenerate Whittaker g \mathfrak {g} -modules Y ( χ , η ) Y(\chi , \eta ) introduced by Kostant. We prove that the set of all contravariant forms on Y ( χ , η ) Y(\chi , \eta ) forms a vector space whose dimension is given by the cardinality of the Weyl group of g \mathfrak {g} . We also describe a procedure for parabolically inducing contravariant forms. As a corollary, we deduce the existence of the Shapovalov form on a Verma module, and provide a formula for the dimension of the space of contravariant forms on the degenerate Whittaker modules M ( χ , η ) M(\chi , \eta ) introduced by McDowell.

  2. Abstract When the reduced twisted $C^*$-algebra $$C^*_r({\mathcal{G}}, c)$$ of a non-principal groupoid $${\mathcal{G}}$$ admits a Cartan subalgebra, Renault’s work on Cartan subalgebras implies the existence of another groupoid description of $$C^*_r({\mathcal{G}}, c)$$. In an earlier paper, joint with Reznikoff and Wright, we identified situations where such a Cartan subalgebra arises from a subgroupoid $${\mathcal{S}}$$ of $${\mathcal{G}}$$. In this paper, we study the relationship between the original groupoids $${\mathcal{S}}, {\mathcal{G}}$$ and the Weyl groupoid and twist associated to the Cartan pair. We first identify the spectrum $${\mathfrak{B}}$$ of the Cartan subalgebra $$C^*_r({\mathcal{S}}, c)$$. We then show that the quotient groupoid $${\mathcal{G}}/{\mathcal{S}}$$ acts on $${\mathfrak{B}}$$, and that the corresponding action groupoid is exactly the Weyl groupoid of the Cartan pair. Lastly, we show that if the quotient map $${\mathcal{G}}\to{\mathcal{G}}/{\mathcal{S}}$$ admits a continuous section, then the Weyl twist is also given by an explicit continuous $$2$$-cocycle on $${\mathcal{G}}/{\mathcal{S}} \ltimes{\mathfrak{B}}$$.

  3. Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra and V an integrable g-module in category O. We show that the monodromy of the (normally ordered) rational Casimir connection on V can be made equivariant with respect to the Weyl group W of g, and therefore defines an action of the braid group BW on V. We then prove that this action is canonically equivalent to the quantum Weyl group action of BW on a quantum deformation of V, that is an integrable, category O module V over the quantum group Uhg such that V/hV is isomorphic to V. This extends a result of the second author which is valid for g semisimple.

  4. We study the moduli stack of degree 0 0 semistable G G -bundles on an irreducible curve E E of arithmetic genus 1 1 , where G G is a connected reductive group in arbitrary characteristic. Our main result describes a partition of this stack indexed by a certain family of connected reductive subgroups H H of G G (the E E -pseudo-Levi subgroups), where each stratum is computed in terms of H H -bundles together with the action of the relative Weyl group. We show that this result is equivalent to a Jordan–Chevalley theorem for such bundles equipped with a framing at a fixed basepoint. In the case where E E has a single cusp (respectively, node), this gives a new proof of the Jordan–Chevalley theorem for the Lie algebra g \mathfrak {g} (respectively, algebraic group G G ). We also provide a Tannakian description of these moduli stacks and use it to show that if E E is not a supersingular elliptic curve, the moduli of framed unipotent bundles on E E are equivariantly isomorphic to the unipotent cone in G G . Finally, we classify the E E -pseudo-Levi subgroups using the Borel–de Siebenthal algorithm, and compute some explicit examples.

  5. Abstract In this paper the authors produce a projective indecomposable module for the Frobenius kernel of a simple algebraic group in characteristic p that is not the restriction of an indecomposable tilting module. This yields a counterexample to Donkin’s longstanding Tilting Module Conjecture. The authors also produce a Weyl module that does not admit a p -Weyl filtration. This answers an old question of Jantzen, and also provides a counterexample to the {(p,r)} -Filtration Conjecture.
