We classify up to isomorphism the quantum generalized Weyl algebras and determine their automorphism groups in all cases in a uniform way, including those where the parameter q is a root of unity, thereby completing the results obtained by…

The Dixmier Conjecture says that every endomorphism of the (first) Weyl algebra $A_1$ (over a field of characteristic zero) is an automorphism, i.e., if $PQ-QP=1$ for some $P, Q \in A_1$ then $A_1 = K \langle P, Q \rangle$. The Weyl algebra…

We show that endomorphisms of Weyl algebras over fields of characteristic zero are flat and that birational endomorphisms are automorphisms by reducing to positive characteristic. We also give examples showing that endomorphisms of Weyl…

Belov-Kanel and Kontsevich conjectured that the group of automorphisms of the n'th Weyl algebra and the group of polynomial symplectomorphisms of C^2 are canonically isomorphic. We discuss how this conjecture can be approached by means of…

We prove that a quasi-finite endomorphism of an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, that is injective on the complement of a closed subvariety, is an automorphism. We also prove that an endomorphism…

We compute the isomorphism class in $\mathfrak{KK}^{alg}$ of all noncommutative generalized Weyl algebras $A=\CC[h](\sigma, P)$, where $\sigma(h)=qh+h_0$ is an automorphism of $\CC[h]$, except when $q\neq 1$ is a root of unity. In…

In this paper, we study a family of generalized Weyl algebras $\{\A\}$ and their polynomial extensions. We will show that the algebra $\A$ has a simple localization $\A_{\mathbb{S}}$ when none of $p$ and $q$ is a root of unity. As an…

Automorphisms of the quantum Schubert cell algebras ${\mathcal U}_q^\pm[w]$ of De Concini, Kac, Procesi and Lusztig and their restrictions to some key invariant subalgebras are studied. We develop some general rigidity results and apply…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $A_1=K[x][\partial ]$ be the first Weyl algebra. In this paper we prove that the Dixmier conjecture for the first Weyl algebra is true, i.e. each algebra endomorphism of the algebra $A_1$ is an…

Motivated by Weyl algebra analogues of the Jacobian conjecture and the Tame Generators problem, we prove quantum versions of these problems for a family of analogues to the Weyl algebras. In particular, our results cover the Weyl-Hayashi…

Let $A_1(K)=K \langle x,y | yx-xy= 1 \rangle$ be the first Weyl algebra over a characteristic zero field $K$ and let $\alpha$ be the exchange involution on $A_1(K)$ given by $\alpha(x)= y$ and $\alpha(y)= x$. The Dixmier conjecture of…

We study algebra endomorphisms and derivations of some localized down-up algebras $\A$. First, we determine all the algebra endomorphisms of $\A$ under some conditions on $r$ and $s$. We show that each algebra endomorphism of $\A$ is an…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semi-simple Lie algebra with fixed root system, and $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ the quantization of its universal enveloping algebra. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a subset of the simple roots of $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that the…

We survey recent results on endomorphisms and especially on automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras O_n, with a special emphasis on the structure of the Weyl group. We discuss endomorphisms globally preserving the diagonal MASA and their…

We compute the automorphism groups of some quantized algebras, including tensor products of quantum Weyl algebras and some skew polynomial rings.

The Weyl group of the Cuntz algebra O_n, with n finite, is investigated. This is (isomorphic to) the group of polynomial automorphisms of O_n, namely those induced by unitaries that can be written as finite sums of words in the canonical…

We study endomorphisms of a free group of finite rank by means of their action on specific sets of elements. In particular, we prove that every endomorphism of the free group of rank 2 which preserves an automorphic orbit (i.e., acts ``like…

Let $A_1=K < X, Y | [Y,X]=1>$ be the (first) Weyl algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. It is known that the set of eigenvalues of the inner derivation $\ad (YX)$ of $A_1$ is $\Z$. Let $ A_1\ra A_1$, $X\mapsto x$, $Y\mapsto y$,…

The well-known Dixmier conjecture asks if every algebra endomorphism of the first Weyl algebra over a characteristic zero field is an automorphism. We bring a hopefully easier to solve conjecture, called the $\gamma,\delta$ conjecture, and…

By a theorem of Dixmier, primitive quotients of enveloping algebras of finite-dimensional complex nilpotent Lie algebras are isomorphic to Weyl algebras. In view of this result, it is natural to consider simple quotients of positive parts…
