Algebras of Non-Local Screenings and Diagonal Nichols Algebras

In a vertex algebra setting, we consider non-local screening operators associated with the basis of any non-integral lattice. We have previously shown that, under certain restrictions, these screening operators satisfy the relations of a quantum shuffle algebra or Nichols algebra associated with a d...

description In a vertex algebra setting, we consider non-local screening operators associated with the basis of any non-integral lattice. We have previously shown that, under certain restrictions, these screening operators satisfy the relations of a quantum shuffle algebra or Nichols algebra associated with a diagonal braiding, which encodes the non-locality and non-integrality. In the present article, we take all finite-dimensional diagonal Nichols algebras, as classified by Heckenberger, and find all lattice realizations of the braiding that are compatible with reflections. Usually, the realizations are unique or come as one- or two-parameter families. Examples include realizations of Lie superalgebras. We then study the associated algebra of screenings with improved methods. Typically, for positive definite lattices we obtain the Nichols algebra, such as the positive part of the quantum group, and for negative definite lattices we obtain a certain extension of the Nichols algebra generalizing the infinite quantum group with a large center.

Many thanks to Christian Reiher for suggesting the analytic continuation by partial integration in Section 4.3, to Ivan Angiono for explaining to us Proposition 2.20, to Sven Ole Warnaar for answering questions on the -Selberg integral formula, and to the anonymous referees for many helpful comments on the manuscript.
