Shapovalov's homological Duflo conjecture

About 26 years old · traced to

Let g{\mathfrak g} be a Lie algebra, let S∙(g)S^\bullet({\mathfrak g}) be its symmetric algebra, let U(g)U({\mathfrak g}) be its universal enveloping algebra, and let

φD ⁣:S∙(g)→U(g)\varphi_D\colon S^\bullet({\mathfrak g})\to U({\mathfrak g})

be the Duflo map. Write H∙(g;−)H^\bullet({\mathfrak g};-) and H∙(g;−)H_\bullet({\mathfrak g};-) for Lie algebra cohomology and homology, respectively. The canonical actions of cohomology on homology are denoted by ⧫\blacklozenge and ★\bigstar.

Shapovalov's homological Duflo conjecture. The map

φD∙ ⁣:H∙(g;S∙(g))→H∙(g;U(g))\varphi_{D\bullet}\colon H_\bullet({\mathfrak g};S^\bullet({\mathfrak g}))\to H_\bullet({\mathfrak g};U({\mathfrak g}))

induced by φD\varphi_D is a map of modules from the H∙(g;S∙(g))oppH^\bullet({\mathfrak g};S^\bullet({\mathfrak g}))^{\mathrm{opp}}-module H∙(g;S(g))H_\bullet({\mathfrak g};S({\mathfrak g})) to the H∙(g;U(g))oppH^\bullet({\mathfrak g};U({\mathfrak g}))^{\mathrm{opp}}-module H∙(g;U(g))H_\bullet({\mathfrak g};U({\mathfrak g})). Thus, for α∈H∙(g;S(g))\alpha\in H^\bullet({\mathfrak g};S({\mathfrak g})) and β∈H∙(g;S(g))\beta\in H_\bullet({\mathfrak g};S({\mathfrak g})),

φD∙(α⧫β)=φD∙(α)★φD∙(β).\varphi_{D\bullet}(\alpha\blacklozenge\beta)=\varphi_D^\bullet(\alpha)\bigstar\varphi_{D\bullet}(\beta).

For 00-cohomology, this says that the (S∙(g))g\bigl(S^\bullet({\mathfrak g})\bigr)^{{\mathfrak g}}-module (S∙(g))g\bigl(S^\bullet({\mathfrak g})\bigr)_{{\mathfrak g}} and the (U(g))g\bigl(U({\mathfrak g})\bigr)^{{\mathfrak g}}-module (U(g))g\bigl(U({\mathfrak g})\bigr)_{{\mathfrak g}} are isomorphic via the Duflo map. The source attributes the conjecture to [Sh2], while the paper proves the corresponding cup-product theorem only for 00-cohomology; its resolution is not specified here.
