Abstract

Given an associative C\mathbb{C}-algebra AA, we call AA strongly rigid if for any pair of finite subgroups of its automorphism groups G,H,G, H, such that AGAHA^G\cong A^H, then GG and HH must be isomorphic. In this paper we show that a large class of filtered quantizations are strongly rigid. We also prove several other rigidity type results for various quantum algebras. For example, we show that given two non-isomorphic complex semi-simple Lie algebras g1,g2\mathfrak{g}_1, \mathfrak{g}_2 of equal dimension, there are no injective C\mathbb{C}-algebra homomorphisms between their enveloping algebras. We also show that any finite subgroup of automorphisms of a central reduction of a finite WW-algebra Wχ(g,e)W_{\chi}(\mathfrak{g}, e) must be isomorphic to a subgroup of Aut(g(e)).Aut(\mathfrak{g}(e)). We solve the inverse Galois problem for a wide class of rational Cherednik algebras that includes all (simple) classical generalized Weyl algebras, and also for quantum tori. Finally, we show that the Picard group of an nn-dimensional quantum torus AqA_q (with qq not a root of unity) is isomorphic to the group of outer automorphisms of Aq.A_q.
