Types of elements in non-commutative Poisson algebras and Dixmier Conjecture

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 characteristic zero. For any $z\in P$, there exist four subalgebras of $P$ associated with the inner derivation $ad_z$ on $P$. Based on the relationships between these four subalgebras, elements of $P$ can be divided into eight types. We will mainly focus on two types of non-commutative Poisson algebras: the usual Poisson algebras and the associative algebras with the commutator as the Poisson bracket. The following problems are studied for such non-commutative Poisson algebras: how the type of an element changes under homomorphisms between non-commutative Poisson algebras, how the type of an element changes after localization, and what the type of the elements of the form $z_1 \otimes z_2$ and $z_1 \otimes 1 + 1 \otimes z_2$ is in the tensor product of non-commutative Poisson algebras $P_1\otimes P_2$. As an application of above results, one knows that Dixmier Conjecture for $A_1$ holds under certain conditions. Some properties of the Weyl algebras are also obtained, such as the commutativity of certain subalgebras.

Normal forms of elements in the Weyl algebra and Dixmier Conjecture

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 in this note that the normal form corresponds to some unique pair of integers $(k,n)$ with $k\ge n\ge 0$, and will be called the Joseph norm form of $z$. Similar results for the symplectic Poisson algebra $S_1$ are obtained. The Dixmier conjecture can be reformulated as follows: For any nilpotent element $z\in A_1$ whose Joseph norm corresponds to $(k,n)$ with $k>n\ge 1$, there exists no $w\in A_1$ with $ [z,w]=1$. It is known to hold true if $k$ and $n$ are coprime. In this note we show that the assertion also holds if $k$ or $n$ is prime. Analogous results for the Jacobian conjecture for $K[X,Y]$ are obtained.

Deformed Laurent series rings and completions of the Weyl division ring

Let $ L((T^{-1}))$ be the space of (inverse) Laurent serieswith coefficients in some field $L$. It has a standard degree map and the induced topology. With its usual addition and a new product on this space which is continuous and preserves the standard degree map, it will be a complete topological division ring, and called a deformed Laurent series ring. Under mild restrictions, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a product on $ L((T^{-1}))$ to make it a deformed Laurent series ring. Then we apply the above theory to construct the completions of the Weyl division ring $D_1$, over some field of characteristic 0, with respect to a class of discrete valuations on it. Such completions are topological division rings with nice properties. For instance, their valuation rings are non-commutative Henselian rings; the centralizer of each element not in the center is commutative.
