Semi-invariants symétriques de contractions paraboliques (2007.14185v2)

Abstract: Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic zero, and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie algebra. Let $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ be the subalgebra of the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})=K[\mathfrak{g}^*]$ made of the polynomials which are invariant under the adjoint action. Also define $Sy(\mathfrak{g})$ as the algebra generated by elements of $S(\mathfrak{g})$ for which the adjoint action acts homothetically. When $\mathfrak{q}$ is a parabolic contraction in type $A$ or $C$, and in some cases in type $B$, Panyushev and Yakimova showed that the algebra of invariants $Y(\mathfrak{q})$ is an algebra of polynomials. Using Panyushev's and Yakimova's result, we show the polynomiality of $Sy(\mathfrak{q})$ by constructing an algebraically free set of generators in type $A$ and in some cases in type $C$. We also study an example in type $C$ where $Sy(\mathfrak{q})$ is not polynomial.
