Two-sided cells, special nilpotent orbits and special representations

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. This question concerns three classical objects of representation theory: the two-sided Kazhdan-Lusztig cells of the Weyl group $W$ of $\mathfrak{...

Explicit example of prime ideal not an intersection of maximal ideals, in universal enveloping algebra

Let $A$ be a $\mathbb k$-algebra. If $A$ is affine commutative, by Nullstellensatz, then every prime ideal of $A$ is an intersection of maximal ideals. To justify the notion of being primitive in ...

Nontrivial primitivity of full matrix ring

Let $V$ be an infinite dimensional vector space, $A$ its algebra of linear endomorphisms (also known as a full matrix ring). The algebra $A$ is primitive because $V$ is a faithful simple (left) $A$-...

Ideals of affine space curves

Given some algebraic closed curve in the affine space $\mathbb{A}^3_\mathbb{C}$, is there a way to decide whether its ideal (polynomials in $\mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]$ vanishing on the curve) is generated by ...

Reference on ideal theory in Hurwitz quaternions

I am looking for a book that studies the set of Hurwitz quaternions (HQ). In particular, I am interested in a connection between HQ and imaginary quadratic fields (IQF); quaternion orders $\mathcal{O}(...

What are the "special" strata of Sym^n(C^2)?

The affine variety $Sym^n(\mathbb{C}^2)$ has a natural quantization as a spherical rational Cherednik algebra. Thus, any primitive ideal of the rational Cherednik algebra has an corresponding ideal ...
