چکیده
In the fundamental paper [11], J. Dixmier posed six problems for the Weyl algebra A1 over a field K of characteristic zero. Problem 3 was solved by Joseph and Stein [15] (using results of McConnel and Robson [20]), problem 5 was solved by the author in [7]. Using a (difficult) polarization theorem for the Weyl algebra A1 Joseph [15] solved problem 6. Problems 1, 2, and 4 are still open. Note that these problems make sense for non-commutative algebras of Gelfand-Kirillov < 3, and some of them (after minor modifications) make sense for an arbitrary noncommutative algebra. In this paper a short proof is given to Dixmier’s problem 6 for many noncommutative algebras A of Gelfand-Kirillov < 3 (a typical example is the ring of differential operators D(X) on a smooth irreducible algebraic curve X). An affirmative answer to this problem leads to clarification of the structure of maximal commutative subalgebras of these algebras A (a typical example of the algebra A is any noncommutative subalgebra of Gelfand-Kirillov < 3 of the division ring Q(D(X)) for the algebra D(X)), and the result is rather surprising: for a given maximal commutative subalgebra C of the algebra A, (almost) all non-central elements of it have the same type, more precisely, have exactly one of the following types: (i) strongly nilpotent, (ii) weakly nilpotent, (iii) generic, (iv) generic except for a subset Ka + Z(A) of strongly semi-simple elements, (iv) generic except for a subset Ka+Z(A) of weakly semi-simple elements, where K := K\{0} and Z(A) is the centre of the algebra A. For an arbitrary algebra A, Dixmier’s problem 6 is essentially a question: whether an inner derivation of the algebra A of the type ad f(a), a ∈ A, f(t) ∈ K[t], degt(f(t)) > 1, has a nonzero eigenvalue. We prove that the answer is negative for many classes of algebras (eg, rings of differential operators D(Y ) on smooth irreducible algebraic varieties, all prime factor algebras of the universal enveloping algebra U(G) of a completely solvable algebraic Lie algebra G).

Dixmier ’ s Problem 5 for the Weyl Algebra
In the paper [16], J. Dixmier posed six problems for the first Weyl algebra. In this paper we give a solution to the Dixmier’s Problem 5 from this paper. Problem 3 was solved by Joseph and Stein [21] (using results of McConnel and Robson [25]). Using a (difficult) polarization theorem for the first Weyl algebra Joseph [21] solved problem 6 (a short proof to this problem is given in [7], note th...
متن کاملThe inversion formula for automorphisms of the Weyl algebras and polynomial algebras
Let An be the n’th Weyl algebra and Pm be a polynomial algebra in m variables over a field K of characteristic zero. The following characterization of the algebras {An⊗Pm} is proved: an algebra A admits a finite set δ1, . . . , δs of commuting locally nilpotent derivations with generic kernels and ∩i=1ker(δi) = K iff A ≃ An ⊗ Pm for some n and m with 2n + m = s, and vice versa. The inversion fo...
متن کاملOn the eigenvector algebra of the product of elements with commutator one in the first Weyl algebra
Let A1 = K〈X,Y | [Y,X] = 1〉 be the (first) Weyl algebra over a field K of characteristic zero. It is known that the set of eigenvalues of the inner derivation ad(Y X) of A1 is Z. Let A1 → A1, X 7→ x, Y 7→ y, be a K-algebra homomorphism, i.e. [y, x] = 1. It is proved that the set of eigenvalues of the inner derivation ad(yx) of theWeyl algebra A1 is Z and the eigenvector algebra of ad(yx) is K〈x...

Jacobian Conjecture in characteristic p ≥ 0 [37] [41] [2] means that for any positive integer n, any jacobian 1 endomorphism of the algebra of polynomials in n indeterminates over a field of characteristic p is an automorphism, provided it induces a field extension of degree not a multiple of p. Dixmier Conjecture in characteristic p [26] means that, for any positive integer n, any endomorphism...
متن کاملSolving Inverse Sturm-Liouville Problems with Transmission Conditions on Two Disjoint Intervals
In the present paper, some spectral properties of boundary value problems of Sturm-Liouville type on two disjoint bounded intervals with transmission boundary conditions are investigated. Uniqueness theorems for the solution of the inverse problem are proved, then we study the reconstructing of the coefficients of the Sturm-Liouville problem by the spectrtal mappings method.
