A Twisted Approach to Kostant's Problem

Abstract: Abstract. We use Arkhipov's twisting functors to show that the universal enveloping algebra of a semi-simple complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra surjects onto the space of ad-finite endomorphisms of the simple highest weight module L(λ), whose highest weight is associated (in the natural way) with a subset of simple roots and a simple root in this subset. This is a new step towards a complete answer to a classical question of Kostant. We also show how one can use the twisting functors to reprove the classic… Show more

“…The core object ∆R w (e) of our study in Section 2 has an unexpected application to the so-called Kostant's problem from [10]; see also [9,Kapitel 6]. Although there are several classes of modules for which the answer is known to be positive (see [10], [17], [18] and references therein), a complete answer to this problem seems to be far away -the problem is not even solved for simple highest weight modules. In [10, 9.5] an example of a simple highest weight module in type B 2 , for which the answer is negative is mentioned (for details see [18, 11.5]).…”

“…( 2) Kostant's problem for M is to determine whether the latter map is surjective. The problem is very hard and the answer is not even known for the modules L(w), w ∈ W , in the general case, although many special cases are settled (see [Jo,Ma3,MS3,MS4,Ka,KM] are references therein). Taking into account the results of the previous subsections, the main result of [KM] can be formulated as follows: After Theorem 6 the above can be reformulated in terms of the socalled double-centralizer property (see [So1,KSX,MS5]).…”

“…The aim of this paper is to show that for certain values of λ, the action mapǓ q g → End L(λ) fin is surjective. Here (End L(λ) fin stands for the locally finite part of End L(λ) with respect to the adjoint action ofǓ q g. For the Lie-algebraic case (q = 1), this problem is known as the classical Kostant's problem, see [7,8,21,22]. The complete answer to it is still unknown even in the q = 1 case.…”
