If U is such and algebra which contains a finitely generated commutative subalgebra A, then we show that any A-torsion theory defined by the coheight of prime ideals is liftable to U. Moreover, for any simple U-module M, all associated prime ideals of M in Spec A have the same coheight. Hence,thecoheight of the associated prime ideals of A is an invariant of a given simple U-module. This implies a stratification of the category of $U$-modules controlled by the coheight of associated prime ideals of A. Our approach can be viewed as a generalization of the classical paper by R.Block, it allows in particular to study representations of gl(n) beyond the classical category of weight or generalized weight modules.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-11T13:32:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16D60", "16D90", "16D70", "17B65" ], "keywords": [ "torsion theories", "commutative subalgebra", "associated prime ideals", "simple u-module", "generalized weight modules" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.2332F" } } }
