The central action on the deformed antidominant projective
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let be dominant regular integral, , , and the deformed antidominant projective. Write for the published shifted Harish-Chandra isomorphism, , and define Then and the action map are surjective and have the same kernel, inducing a canonical -algebra isomorphism On a generic Verma constituent of highest weight , acts by the scalar ; these scalars vary with , and the center need not act by a single scalar on . After tensoring the right factor with the residue field at , the endomorphism algebra becomes . More generally, for dot-dominant integral the corresponding algebra is , where is the dot stabilizer. Translation out of that facet identifies the singular antidominant projective with the regular one; under these shifted Harish-Chandra identifications, its induced endomorphism map is the inclusion .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice), the regular dominant integral source with , the deformation algebras and , the tautological parameter (denoted on closed points), the deformed antidominant projective of Lifting of indecomposable projectives to the deformed family, and the suppliers named below.
The shifted Harish-Chandra map is an algebra isomorphism , and (Harish-Chandra isomorphism for the center, The Harish-Chandra projection, The Harish-Chandra projection is multiplicative on the center); a central element acts on a cyclic highest-weight module of highest weight by the scalar (The Harish-Chandra projection computes the highest-weight scalar); central characters satisfy if and only if (Central characters are dot-Weyl orbits). These statements commute with extension of scalars along for a characteristic-zero field .
On a cyclic highest-weight module of highest weight the quadratic Casimir element acts by the scalar , the form being the one induced by the Killing form (The quadratic Casimir eigenvalue on a highest-weight module is ).
The Shapovalov determinant factors as (The Shapovalov determinant formula); and if is a factor hyperplane, then outside a countable union of proper affine subspaces of , with , is simple, the space of maps is one-dimensional, every nonzero such map is injective with image the Shapovalov radical, and (The generic radical on a Shapovalov factor hyperplane).
For dominant one has for every , with equality if and only if (A dominant vector minimises its distance to a dominant weight); every weight of a finite-dimensional simple satisfies with equality if and only if , and each weight in occurs with multiplicity one (Weights of a finite-dimensional simple module lie in the norm ball).
Restricted duality is an exact contravariant equivalence with , preserving weight-space dimensions, formal characters and simple composition multiplicities (Restricted duality is exact and involutive on O).
Category- structure and the regular block: simples are highest-weight modules (The simple objects of O); there are enough projectives (Category O has enough projectives); projective covers are indecomposable and unique up to isomorphism (Projective covers in O are indecomposable and unique); projectives have finite Verma flags (Projectives in category O have finite Verma flags); BGG reciprocity relates flag multiplicities and composition multiplicities (BGG reciprocity); the Verma embedding criterion (The BGG criterion for homomorphisms between Verma modules); tensoring with a finite-dimensional module preserves Verma flags (Finite-dimensional tensoring preserves Verma flags) and projectivity and injectivity (Finite-dimensional tensoring preserves projectives in category O); translation functors across a wall are exact and biadjoint (Translation functors are exact and biadjoint); the highest weight of a dual finite-dimensional module (Highest weight of the dual representation); central-character summands split into linkage blocks and their projections preserve projectives (Central-character summands refine into linkage blocks, Exact projections onto linkage blocks preserve projectives). The regular integral block conventions, including the antidominant weight , are those of The regular integral block and its antidominant weight, and the well-definedness part of The antidominant projective and the Soergel functor proves that the block at is semisimple with projective and injective, that with has a projective-injective Verma flag consisting of the factors , , once each, that , and that is a direct summand of .
The deformed family of The deformed category O family over the Cartan symmetric algebra; for every the lift exists, is unique up to isomorphism, has a finite deformed Verma flag with the same multiplicities as its closed fiber, satisfies Hom base change for every map of deformation algebras, has finite free Hom modules into finite Verma-filtered targets, and a -linear map of such objects that is an isomorphism on the residue fiber is an isomorphism; for a dot-dominant integral target the same construction gives the lifts with labels the distinct cosets (Lifting of indecomposable projectives to the deformed family, Base change, freeness and specialization in the deformed family).
The ring is a localization of a finite-variable polynomial UFD (Every finite-variable polynomial ring over a field is a UFD, with prime irreducibles and principal height-one primes); height-one primes are therefore principal, with discrete valuation localizations. The invariant ring is a polynomial algebra and is free of rank over (Chevalley shephard todd for finite weyl groups); orbit sums form a basis of , and invariant polynomials separate finite -orbits over every characteristic-zero field by finite interpolation and averaging (Weyl orbit sums form a basis of finite Weyl invariants).
The coinvariant algebra with its degree normalization, the harmonic complement with and (The coinvariant algebra of a finite Weyl group, The harmonic complement of the coinvariant algebra); is graded Gorenstein with one-dimensional socle in the top degree , and for (The coinvariant algebra is a complete intersection with one-dimensional socle).
Proof
The block at has a single highest weight in , so is simple, its projective cover has a Verma flag whose single factor is by BGG reciprocity, hence equals and is projective; with a single simple object and enough projectives the block is semisimple, so is injective as well, and the well-definedness part of [F6] then supplies the object , which is projective and injective and has a Verma flag with the factors , , once each, together with and a split embedding ; the same construction with the distinct extremal weights gives the singular once-each flag.
Let be a height-one prime of , , , and let be the tautological parameter of the deformed family; the residual central characters are the -classes of the points , , and over forces for some by [F1] and finite interpolation, so comparing the constant and linear parts modulo gives and in ; a nonidentity fixing the generic point of the divisor fixes a hyperplane, hence is the orthogonal reflection in that hyperplane. That hyperplane must be a root hyperplane: otherwise it contains a root-regular real point, whose open chamber would be stabilized by , contradicting Simple transitivity on Weyl chambers. Thus is the root prime for that root; therefore at every nonroot prime all residual characters are pairwise distinct, while at the root prime the equal-character classes are exactly the pairs together with singleton classes wherever , which occurs in the singular case.
At a root divisor, isolate one two-element residual character class by CRT. Write its upper and lower weights and , where and . Over , a singular vector of weight must satisfy the Casimir equation . Its parameter term vanishes identically on the divisor only if is a multiple of , and its constant term then forces . The Shapovalov determinant on that weight has valuation one: only its factor vanishes, with exponent , so its residue radical has dimension one there. A nonzero radical has a highest-weight vector, by choosing minimal root height among its nonzero weight spaces; it is therefore generated initially by that one-dimensional -weight space. The same Casimir equation for has no solution with positive , so is simple. Its highest vector gives an injected : the induced map is injective because its simple source is nonzero. Any nonzero quotient of the radical by this image would again have a highest-weight vector; the equation forces weight , but its -space is zero. Thus and has length two. This proves the required divisor-field classification directly; no closed-point or complex-only classification is substituted for it.
Let be dominant with , and regular dominant. For onto translation, a retained factor satisfies . The norm bound and dominant-distance inequality force equality and ; because is regular this means , hence . Thus the retained standard is once. This uses the coset condition, not the false assertion . For return translation the retained labels are , each extremal weight once. The conclusion is a Verma flag with factors for , not a direct sum. The same calculation applies to the deformed tensor flags, with the common parameter retained.
Every standard contains as a composition factor: is the minimal weight of , so the Verma embedding criterion gives a nonzero, hence injective, map , and BGG reciprocity gives , while because is a summand of ; hence all multiplicities equal one, the complementary summand of in has flag length zero, and ; the argument applies verbatim to a dot-dominant singular with replaced by .
Put and . Localization of the free invariant/harmonic decomposition in [F8] makes it finite free of rank over the right . Evaluation embeds it into by : generically the orbit has distinct points, interpolation makes this map surjective after tensoring with , and freeness makes it injective over . At a nonroot height-one prime, residual orbit points are distinct and CRT gives . At a root prime CRT isolates the pairs from step 1.2. Every pair evaluation is congruent modulo the root uniformizer . Choose a linear for which the two values differ by a unit times ; subtract its lower value and multiply by the pair projector to obtain . Together with the pair identity this generates exactly the congruence order . For a singular stabilizer , Reynolds averaging on the first factor identifies . It is finite projective over right as a split summand of , hence free since is local; its generic rank is . The same pair and singleton orders, now on cosets, follow by taking the -fixed tuples.
Localize to . Its full flag still has factors; CRT in the finitely many residual central characters splits it into pair components and singleton components. Write for one pair summand. Only this summand has the two factors and once. Maximal-weight generation gives . It is projective in its character component by base change and splitting. The residual extension cannot split: otherwise its direct summand would be projective, but duality applied to the nonsplit length-two yields a nonsplit extension , contradicting projectivity. At a singleton the summand has a single standard. The identical argument applies to the singular once-each flag, with root-fixed labels giving singletons. Over the fraction field all standard characters are distinct and all Vermas are simple by the Shapovalov determinant; hence each component is its indicated standard and the generic endomorphism algebra is the tuple algebra.
Translation out carries to a regular projective by the exact tensor biadjunction and the actual central projectors. Its flag contains every regular standard once by steps 2.1 and 1.4. On the closed fiber, onto translation takes the regular antidominant simple Verma to the singular antidominant simple Verma, so adjunction gives a one-dimensional Hom from the return projective to the regular antidominant simple. Its regular antidominant cover splits off; both have every standard once, so the complement has zero flag and vanishes. Hom base change and the two-map lifting argument of [F7] now give . Any two choices induce the same endomorphism map after identification, since the endomorphism algebra is commutative (as will follow from its generic tuple embedding).
Any endomorphism of the isolated pair preserves and acts by scalars on and on ; if were a unit modulo , the residual projector , polynomial in since on the two-step flag, would split the nonsplit residual extension of step 3.1, so modulo and lies in the congruence order; the central Casimir element acts on the two generic standards by and , eigenvalues differing by , a unit times the uniformizer, so the Casimir minus the lower eigenvalue gives the pair and together with the identity generates the full congruence order, both generators being central actions; on singleton classes the order is , generated by the identity.
The generic tuple embeddings place and (or and ) inside the same tuple algebra. Both are finite free right- modules: for End this is [F7], for it is Reynolds averaging in step 2.2. Steps 3.1, 2.2 and 4.1 identify their localizations at each height-one prime, pair by pair, including the singular singletons. A finite free -lattice equals the intersection of its height-one localizations inside its fraction-field span. Indeed is a localization of a polynomial UFD, and : a reduced fractional denominator outside has a nonunit irreducible factor detected at its prime; applying this coefficientwise to any free lattice basis proves the lattice assertion. Thus the two lattices are equal and yield the asserted algebra identification. This does not yet assert that the global central image is saturated; its surjectivity is established separately below.
For a dominant shifted weight with stabilizer , the closed right fiber of is , because averaging commutes with quotienting by the right maximal ideal. Choose above the largest ordinary polynomial degree in , and choose an -invariant representative of any prescribed class in by averaging. Prescribe the jet of order at , and zero jets at the other distinct points in . Polynomial CRT produces with those jets. Then is -invariant. At , precisely the terms contribute, and their jets equal ; the other terms vanish to order . Hence , whose image in is the prescribed class. In the regular case take and ; in the singular case take the actual singular , never regular . By [F1], for a central element .
The image of is an -submodule of the finite free target respectively whose cokernel is finitely generated and has zero closed fiber by step 6.1; Nakayama over the local ring makes the cokernel zero, so is surjective, and the action map is surjective with it under the identification of step 5.1.
Under the tuple identification, acts on the generic constituent of highest weight by the scalar , these scalars vary with , and the injective tuple embedding shows that an element of acts by zero if and only if its image in respectively is zero; hence the action map and have the same kernel and induce the displayed isomorphism, while, writing for the residue field (distinct from the coinvariant algebra ), tensoring the right factor with gives respectively .
On generic constituents translation out repeats the scalar attached to a coset on every branch , so under the identifications of steps 5.1 and 8.1 the map induced by the translation identification of step 3.2 is the inclusion ; this holds uniformly across the facet, including the regular case , where it is the identity.
