加藤晃史 (東京大学)
On endomorphisms of the Weyl algebra
[ Abstract ]
Noncommutative geometry has revived the interest in the Weyl algebras, which are basic building blocks of quantum field theories.
The Weyl algebra $A_n(\\C)$ is an associative algebra over $\\C$ generated by $p_i, q_i$ ($i=1,\\cdots,n$) with relations $[p_i, q_j]=\\delta_{ij}$. Every endomorphism of $A_n$ is injective since $A_n$ is simple.
Dixmier (1968) initiated a systematic study of the Weyl algebra $A_1$ and posed the following problem: Is every endomorphism of $A_1$ an automorphism?
We give an affirmative answer to this conjecture.
