Weyl algebra has no nonzero finite-dimensional modules Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
For the complex Weyl algebra with , a unital finite-dimensional module would give matrices satisfying . Their matrix trace gives , so the module is zero. Characteristic zero and are essential.
Weyl deformation of a polynomial algebra in two variables Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
The algebra over defined by has ordered basis , by its differential Ore-extension construction. Its -adic completion is a formal associative formal associative deformation of . In characteristic zero its first-order multiplication term is . The cocycle is not a coboundary: a degree-two coboundary on a commutative algebra is symmetric, whereas .
Young symmetrizer Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
For a Young tableau , let sum its row permutations and be the signed sum of its column permutations in the group algebra of the symmetric group. The product is a Young symmetrizer. The other order is another conventional realization. It satisfies , where is the hook product of a partition, so division by that scalar gives a primitive idempotent in characteristic zero. Acting on a tensor power constructs a Schur module.
