Duflo's conjecture on invariant Poisson and associative centers

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let GG be a connected and simply connected Lie group with finite-dimensional Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}, and let h⊂g\mathfrak{h}\subset\mathfrak{g} be a subalgebra with Lie group HH. Let λ\lambda be a character of h\mathfrak{h}, let λ^\hat{\lambda} be an extension of λ\lambda to g∗\mathfrak{g}^*, and set

h⊥=l∈g∗:l(h)=0.\mathfrak{h}^{\bot}=\\{l\in\mathfrak{g}^*:l(\mathfrak{h})=0\\}.

Let S(g)S(\mathfrak{g}) and U(g)U(\mathfrak{g}) denote the symmetric and universal enveloping algebras, respectively, with h\mathfrak{h}-invariant quotients formed using the ideals generated by Y+λ(Y)Y+\lambda(Y) for Y∈hY\in\mathfrak{h}. Equip the symmetric quotient with its induced Poisson structure, and write CpoissC_{poiss} and CassC_{ass} for the centers of the corresponding Poisson and associative algebras over R\mathbb{R}. For H∈hH\in\mathfrak{h}, define

ρ(H)=−12Tr⁡ad⁡g(H).\rho(H)=-\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{Tr}\operatorname{ad}_{\mathfrak{g}}(H).

Duflo's conjecture. With these notations, there is an algebra isomorphism

Cpoiss[(S(g)/S(g)hλ)h]≃Cass[(U(g)/U(g)hλ+ρ)h].C_{poiss}\left[(S(\mathfrak{g})/S(\mathfrak{g})\mathfrak{h}_{\lambda})^{\mathfrak{h}}\right]\simeq C_{ass}\left[(U(\mathfrak{g})/U(\mathfrak{g})\mathfrak{h}_{\lambda+\rho})^{\mathfrak{h}}\right].

The conjecture extends the Duflo isomorphism from invariant functions on a Lie algebra to invariant centers associated with a subalgebra and character. The source attributes it to M. Duflo; no resolution is supplied here, so its status is left open.
