Double centralizer properties play a central role in many parts of algebraic Lie theory. Soergel's double centralizer theorem relates the principal block of the Bernstein ᎐Gelfand᎐Gelfand category O O of a semisimple complex Lie algebra with Ž the coinvariant algebra i.e., the cohomology algebra of the corresponding flag . manifold . Schur᎐Weyl duality relates the representation theories of general linear Ž . and symmetric groups in defining characteristic, or via the quantized version in nondefining characteristic. In this paper we exhibit algebraic structures behind these double centralizer properties. We show that the finite dimensional algebras relevant in this context have dominant dimension at least two with respect to some projective᎐injective or tilting modules. General arguments which combine methods Ž . from ring theory QF-3 rings and dominant dimension with tools from representa-Ž . tion theory approximations, tilting modules then imply the validity of these double centralizer properties as well as new ones. In contrast to the traditional Ž . proofs e.g., by the fundamental theorems of invariant theory no computations are necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
