Centrality conjecture for shifted determinants

About 21 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda be a dominant weight, let VλV_\lambda be the corresponding representation space, and let Ωλ(u)=Ωλ+u⊗id⁡\Omega_\lambda(u)=\Omega_\lambda+u\otimes \operatorname{id}. Using a basis of VλV_\lambda, form the shifted determinant Dλ(u)D_\lambda(u) as the column-determinant of the matrix Ωλ(u)−L\Omega_\lambda(u)-L, where L=diag⁡(m,m−1,…,0)L=\operatorname{diag}(m,m-1,\ldots,0). Shifted-determinant centrality conjecture. For any dominant weight λ\lambda, there exists a basis of VλV_\lambda such that the coefficients of Dλ(u)D_\lambda(u) belong to the center Z(gln(C))Z(\mathfrak{gl}_n(\mathbb{C})). The paper introduces shifted determinants as a second family of central-polynomial candidates; no resolution of this assertion is supplied in the given text.
