Group actions and identities for the simple Lie algebra sl 2 (C IMECC - Unicamp September 02, 2011

Beginning: A. Giambruno, A. Regev, Wreath products and PI algebras, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 35 (1985 133-145.

To have a description of G-identities of sl 2 (C, where G is a finite group that acts faithfully on sl 2 (C.

Berele in 2004 in the paper Polynomial identities for 2 2 matrices with finite group actions, J. Algebra 274 (1 (2004 202-214, described bases of the G-identities for the matrix algebra of order two M 2 (C, where G is a finite group acting faithfully on M 2 (C. It is well known that if G is a finite group that acts faithfully on M 2 (C, then it must be one of the groups Z n, D n,. His proofs rely on the concrete basis of the 2-graded identities for M 2 (C found by Di Vincenzo in 1993 and on computations in the group algebras of the corresponding groups.

Our problem is analogous to Berele s problem for the simple three-dimensional Lie algebra sl 2 (C. Fortunately, in this case it is well known that the finite groups that act faithfully on sl 2 (C are the same as those for M 2 (C, and they act on sl 2 (C in the same way that they act on M 2 (C, by conjugation of matrices. We use the concrete form of the 2-graded identities for sl 2 (C, and moreover, some methods and techniques developed by Berele. We exhibit bases of the corresponding G-identities for sl 2 (C.

How we approach the problem:

How we approach the problem: The same way that Berele did. is the easiest case, because of that we discuss it separately. We treat each group family in turn, so we divide the problem in three cases. In the first two cases, where the groups are Z n and D n, we consider computations in the group algebras of the corresponding groups. In the last case, where the groups are we consider sl 2 (C as a G-module.

Notation:

Notation: X = {x 1, x 2, x 3,...} will denote an infinite countable set. G will denote a group. By a G-Lie Algebra we understand a Lie Algebra together with a group G that acts on it. LC X ; G will denote the C-free Lie algebra of symbols g(x, where g G and x X, that we will refer to as G-free Lie algebra.

Definition Given f LC X ; G and a G- Lie algebra A, f is called a G-polynomial identity of A, if for every G-homomorphism ϕ : LC X ; G A, ϕ(f = 0. Remark The set of all G-polynomial identities of A is a G-ideal of LC X ; G, that is invariant under all G-endomorphisms. This set will be denoted by T G (A. The relatively free algebra of the G-Lie algebra A is the algebra LC X ; G. T G (A

The two copies of C in CD n are generated by the idempotents (1/2(1 he 0 and (1/2(1 + he 0, and for i > 0 there is a copy of M 2 (C with basis given by e i, e i, he i, and he i.

Again, to prove this theorem we construct a basis for the relatively LC X ; G free algebra T G (sl 2 (C.

G = A 4, A 5 or S 4 : All these cases are similar. The span of the image of G in the group of automorphisms of sl 2 (C is isomorphic to C sl 3 (C. Thus it contains elements ɛ ij, where i, j {1, 2, 3}, that act on sl 2 (C in the following way: ɛ ij v α = δ j,α v i, where v 1 = e 11 e 22, v 2 = e 12 and v 3 = e 21 form a basis for sl 2 (C.

Theorem Let G = A 4, A 5, S 4. Then all G-identities of sl 2 (C are consequences of the following: 1 ɛ 11 (x + ɛ 22 (x + ɛ 33 (x = x; 2 For α, β {1, 2, 3}, [ɛ 1α (x, ɛ 1β (y] = 0; 3 For α, β {1, 2, 3}, [ɛ 2α (x, ɛ 2β (y] = 0; 4 For α, β {1, 2, 3}, [ɛ 3α (x, ɛ 3β (y] = 0.

Theorem Let G = A 4, A 5, S 4. Then all G-identities of sl 2 (C are consequences of the following: 1 ɛ 11 (x + ɛ 22 (x + ɛ 33 (x = x; 2 For α, β {1, 2, 3}, [ɛ 1α (x, ɛ 1β (y] = 0; 3 For α, β {1, 2, 3}, [ɛ 2α (x, ɛ 2β (y] = 0; 4 For α, β {1, 2, 3}, [ɛ 3α (x, ɛ 3β (y] = 0. Again, to prove this theorem we construct a basis for the relatively LC X ; G free algebra T G (sl 2 (C.

Again we have a basis that looks similar to the basis in the Z n case for n 3, the differences being:

Again we have a basis that looks similar to the basis in the Z n case for n 3, the differences being: 1 Wherever e 0 appeared, we have three possibilites: e 0 = ɛ 11, ɛ 12, or ɛ 13; 2 Wherever e 1 appeared, we have three possibilites: ɛ 21, e 1 = ɛ 22, or ɛ 23; 3 Wherever e 1 appeared, we have three possibilites: ɛ 31, ɛ 32, or e 1 = ɛ 33.

Again we have a basis that looks similar to the basis in the Z n case for n 3, the differences being: 1 Wherever e 0 appeared, we have three possibilites: e 0 = ɛ 11, ɛ 12, or ɛ 13; 2 Wherever e 1 appeared, we have three possibilites: ɛ 21, e 1 = ɛ 22, or ɛ 23; 3 Wherever e 1 appeared, we have three possibilites: ɛ 31, ɛ 32, or e 1 = ɛ 33. Thus, this basis is worse than in the previous case, and will not be displayed here.

With similar but more complicated calculations we can show that the bases for the G-identities for are the same as those for sl 2 (C.
