Abstract

We investigate (twisted) rings of differential operators on the resolution of singularities of a particular irreducible component of the (Zarisky) closure of the minimal orbit Oˉmin\bar O_{\mathrm{min}} of sp2n\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}, intersected with the Borel subalgebra n+\mathfrak n_+ of sp2n\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}, using toric geometry and show that they are homomorphic images of a subalgebra of the Universal Enveloping Algebra (UEA) of sp2n\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}, which contains the maximal parabolic subalgebra p\mathfrak p determining the minimal nilpotent orbit. Further, using Fourier transforms on Weyl algebras, we show that (twisted) rings of well-suited weighted projective spaces are obtained from the same subalgebra. Finally, investigating this subalgebra from the representation-theoretical point of view, we find new primitive ideals and rediscover old ones for the UEA of sp2n\mathfrak{sp}_{2n} coming from the aforementioned resolution of singularities.
