GK dimension of some connected Hopf algebras

While it was identified that the growth of any connected Hopf algebras is either a positive integer or infinite, we have yet to determine the Gelfand–Kirillov (GK) dimension of a given connected Hopf algebra. We use the notion of anti-cocommutative elements introduced in Wang, D. G., Zhang, J. J., Zhuang, G. (2013). Coassociative lie algebras. Glasgow Math. J. 55(A):195–215 to analyze the structure of connected Hopf algebras generated by anti-cocommutative elements and compute the GK dimension of said algebras. Additionally, we apply these results to compare global dimension of connected Hopf algebras and the dimension of their corresponding Lie algebras of primitive elements.

The GK dimension of relatively free algebras of PI-algebras

We prove a strict relation between the Gelfand–Kirillov (GK) dimension of the relatively free (graded) algebra of a PI-algebra and its (graded) exponent. As a consequence we show a Bahturin–Zaicev type result relating the GK dimension of the relatively free algebra of a graded PI-algebra and the one of its neutral part. We also get that the growth of the relatively free graded algebra of a matrix algebra is maximal when the grading is fine. Finally we compute the graded GK dimension of the matrix algebra with any grading and the graded GK dimension of any verbally prime algebra endowed with an elementary grading.

Gelfand–Kirillov Dimensions of Highest Weight Harish-Chandra Modules for $\boldsymbol{{SU}(p,q)}$

Abstract Let $(G,K)$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric pair of non-compact type with $G={SU}(p,q)$, and let $\lambda$ be an integral weight such that the simple highest weight module $L(\lambda)$ is a Harish-Chandra $({\mathfrak{g}},K)$-module. We give a combinatorial algorithm for the Gelfand–Kirillov (GK) dimension of $L(\lambda)$. This enables us to prove that the GK dimension of $L(\lambda)$ decreases as the integer $\langle{\lambda+\rho},{\beta}^{\vee} \rangle$ increases, where $\rho$ is the half sum of positive roots and $\beta$ is the maximal non-compact root. Finally by the combinatorial algorithm, we obtain a description of the associated variety of $L(\lambda)$.

ℤ2-Graded Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the Grassmann algebra

We consider the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra E over a field F of characteristic 0 or p, where p > 2, and we compute its ℤ2-graded Gelfand–Kirillov (GK) dimension as a ℤ2-graded PI-algebra.

Fields of fractions of some SL q (2)-motion algebras

We construct new examples of iterated skew polynomial extensions. It is proved that quantum Gel’fand-Kirillov (GK) conjecture holds for this algebras. For one of the examples classical GK conjecture fails, but the quantum one is true.

Krull, Gelfand–Kirillov, and Filter Dimensions of Simple Affine Algebras

The aim of the paper is to prove the following two results.1. LetAbe a finitely partitive simple affine algebra with GK(A)<∞. Then the Krull dimension, where GK and fil.dim are the Gelfand–Kirillov and the filter dimension, respectively.2. LetBbe an integral regular domain, affine over a field of characteristic zero and let D(B) be its ring of differential operators. The filter dimension fil.dimD(B)=1.

On the transcendence degree of group algebras of nilpotent groups

Let G be a finitely generated (f.g.) torsion-free nilpotent group. Then the group algebra k[G] of G over a field k is a Noetherian domain and hence has a classical division ring of fractions, denoted by k(G). Recently, the division algebras k(G) and, somewhat more generally, division algebras generated by f.g. nilpotent groups have been studied in [3] and [5]. These papers are concerned with the question to what extent the division algebra determines the group under consideration. Here we continue the study of the division algebras k(G) and investigate their Gelfand–Kirillov (GK–) transcendence degree.
