The isomorphism conjecture for the Fomin–Kirillov algebra and the Nichols–Woronowicz algebra

About 20 years old · traced to

Let En{\mathcal{E}}_n be the algebra generated by [i,j][i,j] subject to the Fomin–Kirillov quadratic relations, let VSnV_{S_n} be the Yetter–Drinfeld module associated with the type An−1A_{n-1} root system, and let B(VSn){\mathcal{B}}(V_{S_n}) be its Nichols–Woronowicz algebra. There is a surjective algebra homomorphism

η:En⟶B(VSn),[i,j]⟼[ei−ej].\eta:{\mathcal{E}}_n\longrightarrow {\mathcal{B}}(V_{S_n}),\qquad [i,j]\longmapsto [e_i-e_j].

The isomorphism conjecture. The algebra homomorphism η\eta is an isomorphism. The statement appears as a conjecture in the source, but the supplied material gives no resolution evidence, so its status remains open.
