Koszul duality between Weyl and Clifford algebras?

Koszul duality Given a finite-dimensional $k$-vector space $V$ (I am happy taking $k = \mathbb{C}$ anywhere in the following if it makes a difference) and a subspace $R \subseteq …

Modules over rings of differential operators

If $M$ is a left $\mathbb{C}[t] \langle \partial _t \rangle$-module ( a left module over the Weyl algebra), then $\mathrm{Hom}(M,\mathbb{C}[t] \langle \partial _t \rangle)$ is equi …

A simple proof of the Weyl algebra’s rigidity.

I am wondering if there is a nice presentation of the Hochschild cohomology of $A_n$ the Weyl algebra. It is known that $H^m(A_n,A_n)=0$ for $m>0$, and thus it is rigid. A proof ca …

Does the image of a differential operator always contain an ideal?

Let $\delta$ denote a non-zero complex algebraic differential operator in a single variable x. That is, it can be written as a sum $$ \delta = \sum_i f_i\partial_x^i$$ where there …

Depth Zero Ideals in the Homogenized Weyl Algebra

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the $n$th Weyl algebra $ \mathcal{D} :=k[x_1,...,x_n,\partial_1,...,\partial_n] $, where $\partial_ix_i-x_i\partial_i=1$. Let $\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}$ be i …

Differential operators preserving the space of harmonic functions (aka higher symmetries of the Laplacian)

The article http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0206233 (published in Ann. of Math. (2) 161 (2005), no. 3) deals with linear differential operators $D$ for which there exists another li …
