Abstract

Let \g\g be a reductive Lie algebra and VV a \g\g-semisimple module. In this article, we study the category \G\G of graded finite-dimensional representations of \gV\g \ltimes V. We produce a large class of truncated subcategories, which are directed and highest weight. Suppose VV is finite-dimensional with weights \wt(V)\wt(V). Let Ψ\wt(V)\Psi \subset \wt(V) be the set of weights contained in a face \F\F of the polytope that is the convex hull of \wt(V)\wt(V). For each such Ψ\Psi, we produce quasi-hereditary Koszul algebras. We use these Koszul algebras to construct an infinite-dimensional graded subalgebra \spg\spg of the locally finite part of the algebra of invariants (END\C(\V)\SymV)\g(END{\C} (\V) \otimes \Sym V)^{\g}, where \V\V is the direct sum of all simple finite-dimensional \g\g-modules. We prove that \spg\spg is Koszul of finite global dimension.
