Then Orb is a symplectic algebraic variety and one can ask whether it is possible to quantize $\\Orb$ (in an appropriate sense) and, if so, how to classify the quantizations. On the other hand, for the pair (g,O) one can construct an associative algebra W called a (finite) W-algebra. The goal of this paper is to clarify a relationship between quantizations of O (and of its coverings) and 1-dimensional W-modules. In the first approximation, our result is that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the two. The result is not new: it was discovered (in a different form) by Moeglin in the 80's.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-04-10T01:38:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B35", "53D55" ], "keywords": [ "nilpotent orbit", "quantizations", "representations", "semisimple lie algebra", "symplectic algebraic variety" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1004.1669L" } } }
