TL;DR
This work develops a concrete, algebraic construction of big algebras for the coordinate ring $\mathbb{C}[\operatorname{Mat}(n,r)]$ under the $\mathrm{GL}_n$-action in type $A$. By exploiting the Kirillov--Wei operator, the authors obtain explicit normal-form generators $M_{p,q}$ and $F_{p,q}$ for the big algebra $\mathscr{B}(\mathcal{P}(n,r))$, relate these to Capelli identities, and connect them to Bethe subalgebras of the Yangian $\mathrm{Y}(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$ to prove commutativity. They show that big algebras are commutative for irreducible polynomial $\mathrm{GL}_n$-modules and establish a precise isomorphism $\mathscr{B}(m\varpi_1)\cong S^m(\mathscr{B}(\varpi_1))$ for the symmetric powers of the vector representation, along with detailed presentations in terms of generators and relations. The paper further develops the Kirillov algebra framework in the weight-multiplicity-free setting, providing explicit descriptions of big algebras for symmetric powers and new formulas for the Kirillov--Wei operator, with connections to diagonal invariants and plethystic substitutions. Overall, the results give a direct, elementary route to commutativity and a rich algebraic structure linking invariant theory, Capelli-type identities, and integrable-system constructions.
Abstract
In this note we consider the big algebra recently introduced by Hausel for the $\mathrm{GL}_n$-action on the coordinate ring of the matrix space $\operatorname{Mat}(n,r)$. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for the big algebra generators in terms of differential operators with polynomial coefficients. We show that big algebras in type $A$ are commutative and relate them to the Bethe subalgebra in the Yangian $\mathrm{Y}(\mathfrak{gl}_{n})$. We apply these results to big algebras of symmetric powers of the standard representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n$.
