Title: Generalized Weyl Algebras, Birational Equivalences and Gelfand-Kirillov Conjecture</div><div><br></div><div>
Abstract: Rank 1 generalized Weyl algebras (GWAs) form an interesting
class of algebras that include (quantum) enveloping algebra of sl(2) and
some interesting quantum groups of rank 1 and 2. In this talk I will
define GWAs and then explain how these examples fit into the framework
of GWAs. Birational equivalence, on the other hand, is a tool
(commutative) algebraic geometers use quite extensively. Interestingly,
GWAs are birationally equivalent to a smash product with a torus of
rank-1. Time permitting, I will talk about how all of these relate to
Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture.<br>
