MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Gelfand-Ponomarev constructions for quadruples and sextuples, and Herrmann's endomorphisms

Rafael Stekolshchik

Abstract

The notions of a perfect element and an admissible element of the free modular lattice $D^r$ generated by $r \geq 1$ elements are introduced by Gelfand and Ponomarev. We recall that an element $a \in D$ of a modular lattice $L$ is said to be {\it perfect}, if, for each finite dimension indecomposable $K$-linear representation $\rho_X : L \rightarrow \mathcal{L}(X)$ over any field $K$, the image $\rho_X(a) \subseteq X$ of $a$ is either zero, or $\rho_X(a) = X$, where $\mathcal{L}(X)$ is the lattice of all vector $K$-subspaces of $X$.

Gelfand and Ponomarev gave a complete classification of such elements in the lattice $D^4$, associated to the extended Dynkin diagram $\widetilde{\mathbb{D}}_4$, and also in $D^r$, where $r > 4$.

The main aim of this paper is to classify all the {\it admissible elements} and all the perfect elements in the Dedekind lattice $D^{2,2,2}$ generated by six elements that is associate to the extended Dynkin diagram $\widetilde{\mathbb{E}}_6$. Gelfand and Ponomarev constructed admissible elements of the lattice $D^r$ recurrently whereas we suggest a direct method for creatin admissible elements. Using this method we also construct admissible elements for $D^4$ and show that these elements coincide, modulo linear equivalence, with admissible elements constructed by Gelfand and Ponomarev. Admissible sequences and admissible elements for $D^{2,2,2}$ (resp. $D^4$) form $14$ classes (resp. $8$ classes) and possess a certain periodicity.

Our classification of perfect elements for $D^{2,2,2}$ is based on the description of admissible elements. The constructed set $H^+$ of perfect elements is the union of $64$-element distributive lattices $H^+(n)$, and $H^+$ is the distributive lattice itself. The lattice of perfect elements $B^+$ obtained by Gelfand and Ponomarev for $D^4$ can be imbedded into the lattice of perfect elements $H^+$, associated with $D^{2,2,2}$.

Herrmann constructed perfect elements $s_n$, $t_n$, $p_{i,n}$ in $D^4$ by means of certain endomorphisms $\gamma_{ij}$ and showed that these perfect elements coincide with the Gelfand-Ponomarev perfect elements modulo linear equivalence. We show that the admissible elements in $D^4$ are also obtained by means of Herrmann's endomorphisms $\gamma_{ij}$. Herrmann's endomorphism $\gamma_{ij}$ and the {\it elementary map} of Gelfand-Ponomarev $\phi_i$ act, in a sense, in opposite directions, namely the endomorphism $\gamma_{ij}$ adds the index to the beginning of the admissible sequence, and the elementary map $\phi_i$ adds the index to the end of the admissible sequence.
