Quantum Boson Algebra and Poisson Geometry of the Flag Variety (1904.10141v1)

Published 23 Apr 2019 in math.QA and math.RT

Abstract: In his work on crystal bases \cite{Kas}, Kashiwara introduced a certain degeneration of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, which he called a quantum boson algebra. In this paper, we construct Kashiwara operators associated to all positive roots and use them to define a variant of Kashiwara's quantum boson algebra. We show that a quasi-classical limit of the positive half of our variant is a Poisson algebra of the form $(P \simeq \mathbb C[\mathfrak n{\ast}], \, {,}P)$, where $\mathfrak n$ is the positive part of $\mathfrak g$ and ${,}_P$ is a Poisson bracket that has the same rank as, but is different from, the Kirillov-Kostant bracket ${,}{KK}$ on $\mathfrak n{\ast}$. Furthermore, we prove that, in the special case of type $A$, any linear combination $a_1 {,}P + a_2 {,}{KK}$, $a_1, a_2 \in \mathbb C$, is again a Poisson bracket. In the general case, we establish an isomorphism of $P$ and the Poisson algebra of regular functions on the open Bruhat cell in the flag variety. In type $A$, we also construct a Casimir function on the open Bruhat cell, together with its quantization, which may be thought of as an analog of the linear function on $\mathfrak n{\ast}$ defined by a root vector for the highest root.
