Quantizations of generalized-Witt algebra and of Jacobson–Witt algebra in the modular case

摘要

We quantize the generalized-Witt algebra in characteristic 0 with its Lie bialgebra structures discovered by Song–Su [G. Song, Y. Su, Lie bialgebras of generalized-Witt type, arXiv: math.QA/0504168, Sci. China Ser. A 49 (4) (2006) 533–544]. Via a modulo p reduction and a modulo “p-restrictedness” reduction process, we get 2n-1 families of truncated p-polynomial noncocommutative deformations of the restricted universal enveloping algebra of the Jacobson–Witt algebra W(n;1) (for the Cartan type simple modular restricted Lie algebra of W type). They are new families of noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebras of dimension p1+npn in characteristic p. Our results generalize a work of Grunspan [C. Grunspan, Quantizations of the Witt algebra and of simple Lie algebras in characteristic p, J. Algebra 280 (2004) 145–161] in rank n=1 case in characteristic 0. In the modular case, the argument for a refined version follows from the modular reduction approach (different from [C. Grunspan, Quantizations of the Witt algebra and of simple Lie algebras in characteristic p, J. Algebra 280 (2004) 145–161]) with some techniques from the modular Lie algebra theory.
