TRIANGLE GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
DATE:
LOCATION: Hempfield High
School,
Room 213 (directions attached)
followed by dinner at “Symposium,”
"From Quantum Groups to Quantum Dixmier Algebras "
ABSTRACT: I'll try to explain how
quantum groups are similar to enveloping algebras of
semisimple Lie algebras and how
they are different. Unfortunately this is a
big subject; I'll concentrate on those aspects that I
understand, mostly having
to do with primitive ideals and their connection with orbits
on the dual of the
Lie
algebra. Dixmier algebras are helpful in
understanding this connection.
The
quantum version of Dixmier algebras might serve the
same purpose. I'll
try to describe the work that has been done on this subject. Warning: there
is a lot of background to cover, so we might not get there.
