The finite-type dimension conjecture for Nichols algebras of Cartan type

About 24 years old · traced to

Let (V,c)(V,c) be a braided vector space with V=Cx1⊕⋯⊕CxθV=\mathbb C x_1\oplus\cdots\oplus\mathbb C x_{\theta} and

c(xi⊗xj)=qijxj⊗xi,1≤i,j≤θ.c(x_i\otimes x_j)=q_{ij}x_j\otimes x_i,\qquad 1\leq i,j\leq\theta.

Assume that qii=−1q_{ii}=-1 for every ii and qij∈{±1}q_{ij}\in\{\pm1\} for all i,ji,j. For i≠ji\ne j, define Aij∈{0,−1}A_{ij}\in\{0,-1\} by qijqji=(−1)Aijq_{ij}q_{ji}=(-1)^{A_{ij}}, set Aii=2A_{ii}=2, and let Φ+\Phi^+ denote the positive roots associated with (Aij)(A_{ij}). The finite-type dimension conjecture. With this notation,

dim⁡B(V)=2∣Φ+∣\dim {{\mathfrak B}}(V)=2^{\lvert\Phi^+\rvert}

if (Aij)(A_{ij}) is of finite type, and

dim⁡B(V)=∞\dim {{\mathfrak B}}(V)=\infty

otherwise. The preceding proposition proves this in the simply laced cases whose connected components are of type AmA_m, while the conjecture also covers the remaining finite-type and infinite-type Cartan diagrams.
