Abstract

Given an algebraic Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} over C\mathbb{C}, we canonically associate to it a Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}_{\infty} defined over C\mathbb{C}_{\infty}-the reduction of C\mathbb{C} mod infinitely large prime, and show that for a class of Lie algebras g\mathfrak{g}_{\infty} is an invariant of the derived category of g\mathfrak{g}-modules. We give two applications of this construction. First, we show that the bounded derived category of g\mathfrak{g}-modules determines algebra g\mathfrak{g} for a class of Lie algebras. Second, given a semi-simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} over C\mathbb{C}, we construct a canonical homomorphism from the group of automorphisms of the enveloping algebra Ug\mathfrak{U}\mathfrak{g} to the group of Lie algebra automorphisms of g\mathfrak{g}, such that its kernel does not contain a nontrivial semi-simple automorphism. As a corollary we obtain that any finite subgroup of automorphisms of Ug\mathfrak{U}\mathfrak{g} isomorphic to a subgroup of Lie algebra automorphisms of g.\mathfrak{g}.
