The exemplary case of $\\mathfrak{sl}_3$ is computed explicitly, and further evidence of $\\mathfrak{sl}_4$ is sketched. This allows us to formulate the conjecture that, as a bigraded vector space, the center of a regular block of the small quantum $\\mathfrak{sl}_m$ at a root of unity is isomorphic to Haiman's diagonal coinvariant algebra for the symmetric group $S_{m}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-25T19:43:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B37", "14L99", "20G05" ], "keywords": [ "small quantum group", "principal block", "haimans diagonal coinvariant algebra", "complex semisimple lie algebra", "elementary algebraic method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160407380L" } } }
