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…

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…

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$, $X\mapsto x$, $Y\mapsto y$,…

A result of A. Joseph says that any nilpotent or semisimple element $z$ in the Weyl algebra $A_1$ over some algebracally closed field $K$ of characterstic 0 has a normal form up to the action of the automorphism group of $A_1$. It is shown…

Assume that $P$ and $Q$ are elements of $A_1$ satisfying $[P,Q] = 1$. The Dixmier Conjecture for $A_1$ says that they always generate $A_1$. We show that if $P$ is a sum of not more than~$4$ homogeneous elements of $A_1$ then $P$ and $Q$…

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…

The $q$-Onsager algebra $\mathcal O_q$ is defined by two generators $W_0, W_1$ and two relations called the $q$-Dolan/Grady relations. Recently Baseilhac and Kolb obtained a PBW basis for $\mathcal O_q$ with elements denoted $\lbrace B_{n…

Let $A_1:=K\langle x, \frac{d}{dx} \rangle$ be the Weyl algebra and $\mI_1:= K\langle x, \frac{d}{dx}, \int \rangle$ be the algebra of polynomial integro-differential operators over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. The Conjecture/Problem…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $A_1=K[x][\partial ]$ be the first Weyl algebra. In this paper we prove the following two results. Assume there exists a non-zero polynomial $f(X,Y)\in K[X,Y]$, which has a non-trivial solution…

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…

Non-commutative Poisson algebras are the algebras having an associative algebra structure and a Lie algebra structure together with the Leibniz law. Let $P$ be a non-commutative Poisson algebra over some algebraically closed field of…

We continue with the investigation began in "The Dixmier conjecture and the shape of possible counterexamples". In that paper we introduced the notion of an irreducible pair (P,Q) as the image of the pair (X,Y) of the canonical generators…

The Weitzenboeck theorem states that the algebra of constants of a linear locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra K[Z]=K[z_1,...,z_m] in m variables over a field K of characteristic 0 is finitely generated. If m=2n and the…

A linear locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra $K[X_m]$ in $m$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is called a Weitzenb\"ock derivation. It is well known from the classical theorem of Weitzenb\"ock that the…

The theory of generalized Weyl algebras is used to study the $2\times 2$ reflection equation algebra $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{A}_q(\operatorname{M}_2)$ in the case that $q$ is not a root of unity, where the $R$-matrix used to define…

This paper consists of three parts: (I) To develop general theory of a (large) class of central simple finite dimensional algebras and answering some natural questions about them (that in general situation it is not even clear how to…

The first Weyl algebra, $A_1 = k \langle x, y\rangle/(xy-yx - 1)$ is naturally $\mathbb{Z}$-graded by letting $\operatorname{deg} x = 1$ and $\operatorname{deg} y = -1$. Sue Sierra studied $\operatorname{gr}- A_1$, category of graded right…

String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…

A paper of U. First & Z. Reichstein proves that if $R$ is a commutative ring of dimension $d$, then any Azumaya algebra $A$ over $R$ can be generated as an algebra by $d+2$ elements, by constructing such a generating set, but they do not…
