Abstract:
We investigate (twisted) rings of differential operators on the resolution of singularities of an irreducible component $\overline X$ of $\overline O_{\mathrm {min}}\cap \mathfrak n_+$ (where $\overline O_{\mathrm {min}}$ is the (Zariski) closure of the minimal nilpotent orbit of $\mathfrak {sp}_{2n}$ and $\mathfrak n_+$ is the Borel subalgebra of $\mathfrak {sp}_{2n}$) using toric geometry, and show that they are homomorphic images of a certain family of associative subalgebras of $U(\mathfrak {sp}_{2n})$, which contains the maximal parabolic subalgebra $\mathfrak p$ determining $\overline O_{\min }$. Further, using Fourier transforms on Weyl algebras, we show that (twisted) rings of well-suited weighted projective spaces are obtained from the same family of subalgebras. Finally, we investigate this family of subalgebras from the representation-theoretical point of view and, among other things, rediscover in a different framework irreducible highest weight modules for the UEA of $\mathfrak {sp}_{2n}$.References
