Bavula" ], "comment": "41 pages", "categories": [ "math.AG", "math.RA" ], "abstract": "The algebra $\\mS_n$ in the title is obtained from a polynomial algebra $P_n$ in $n$ variables by adding commuting, {\\em left} (but not two-sided) inverses of the canonical generators of $P_n$. Ignoring non-Noetherian property, the algebra $\\mS_n$ belongs to a family of algebras like the Weyl algebra $A_n$ and the polynomial algebra $P_{2n}$. The group of automorphisms $G_n$ of the algebra $\\mS_n$ is found: $$ G_n=S_n\\ltimes \\mT^n\\ltimes \\Inn (\\mS_n) \\supseteq S_n\\ltimes \\mT^n\\ltimes \\underbrace{\\GL_\\infty (K)\\ltimes... \\ltimes \\GL_\\infty (K)}_{2^n-1 {\\rm times}}=:G_n' $$ where $S_n$ is the symmetric group, $\\mT^n$ is the $n$-dimensional torus, $\\Inn (\\mS_n)$ is the group of inner automorphisms of $\\mS_n$ (which is huge), and $\\GL_\\infty (K)$ is the group of invertible infinite dimensional matrices. This result may help in understanding of the structure of the groups of automorphisms of the Weyl algebra $A_n$ and the polynomial algebra $P_{2n}$. An analog of the {\\em Jacobian homomorphism}: $\\Aut_{K-{\\rm alg}}(P_{2n})\\ra K^*$, so-called, the {\\em global determinant} is introduced for the group $G_n'$ (notice that the algebra $\\mS_n$ is {\\em noncommutative} and neither left nor right Noetherian).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-06-15T20:42:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16E10", "16G99", "16D25", "16D60" ], "keywords": [ "polynomial algebra", "one-sided inverses", "weyl algebra", "invertible infinite dimensional matrices", "right noetherian" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0903.3049B" } } }
