Crampe", "L. Poulain d'Andecy", "L. Vinet" ], "comment": "24 pages", "categories": [ "math.RT", "math-ph", "math.MP" ], "abstract": "Building on classical invariant theory, it is observed that the polarised traces generate the centraliser $Z_L(sl(N))$ of the diagonal embedding of $U(sl(N))$ in $U(sl(N))^{\\otimes L}$. The paper then focuses on $sl(3)$ and the case $L=2$. A Calabi--Yau algebra $\\mathcal{A}$ with three generators is introduced and explicitly shown to possess a PBW basis and a certain central element. It is seen that $Z_2(sl(3))$ is isomorphic to a quotient of the algebra $\\mathcal{A}$ by a single explicit relation fixing the value of the central element. Upon concentrating on three highest weight representations occurring in the Clebsch--Gordan series of $U(sl(3))$, a specialisation of $\\mathcal{A}$ arises, involving the pairs of numbers characterising the three highest weights. In this realisation in $U(sl(3))\\otimes U(sl(3))$, the coefficients in the defining relations and the value of the central element have degrees that correspond to the fundamental degrees of the Weyl group of type $E_6$. With the correct association between the six parameters of the representations and some roots of $E_6$, the symmetry under the full Weyl group of type $E_6$ is made manifest. The coefficients of the relations and the value of the central element in the realisation in $U(sl(3))\\otimes U(sl(3))$ are expressed in terms of the fundamental invariant polynomials associated to $E_6$. It is also shown that the relations of the algebra $\\mathcal{A}$ can be realised with Heun type operators in the Racah or Hahn algebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-27T15:55:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clebsch-gordan series", "calabi-yau algebra", "central element", "fundamental invariant polynomials", "full weyl group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
