Abstract
In this paper, we prove the results announced in [L-R] for G = SLn. Let G be a simple algebraic group over the base field k. Let M be a maximal torus in G and B, a Borel subgroup, B ⊃ M. Let W be the Weyl group of G. For w ∈ W, let X(w) = \(\overline {BwB} \) (mod B) be the Schubert variety in G/B associated to w. Let L be an ample line bundle on G/B. We shall denote the restriction of L to X(w) also by just L. Let k[X(w)] = ⊙ H0(X(w),L). In this paper, we construct an algebra kq [X(w)] over k(q), where q is a parameter taking values in k*, as a quantization of k[X(w)], G being SLn. The algebra k q [SL n ]: Let G = SLn. Let T = (tij), 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n. Let Let
(here, eij’s are the elementary matrices). Let A(R) be the associative algebra (with 1) generated by {tij, 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n}, the relations being given by RT1T2 = T2T1R, where T1 = T ⊗ Id, T2 = Id ⊗ T (cf. [F-R-T]). Then A(R) gives a quantization of k[Mn], Mn being the space of n × n matrices and k[Mn], the coordinate ring of Mn. Now A(R) has a bialgebra structure, then comultiplication being given by Δ: A(R) → A(R) ⊗ A(R), \(\Delta = \left( {{t_{ij}}} \right) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {{t_{ik}}} \otimes {t_{kj}}\) In the sequel, we shall denote A(R) by kq [Mn]. Let
. we shall refer to D as the q-determinant (or the quantum determinant) of (tij).
