Abstract:
Let k be a field and A a noetherian (noncommutative) k-algebra.
The rigid dualizing complex of A was introduced by Van den Bergh.
When A = U(g), the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie
algebra g, Van den Bergh conjectured that the rigid dualizing complex
is (U(g) \otimes \wedge^{n} g )[n], where n = dim g. We prove this
conjecture, and give a few applications in representation theory and
Hochschild cohomology.
