On the dimension of the Fomin-Kirillov algebra and related algebras
Let $\mathcal{E}_m$ be the Fomin-Kirillov algebra, and let $\mathcal{B}_{\mathbb{S}_m}$ be the Nichols-Woronowicz algebra model for Schubert calculus on the symmetric group $\mathbb{S}_m$ which is a quotient of $\mathcal{E}_m$, i.e. the Nichols algebra associated to a Yetter-Drinfeld $\mathbb{S}_m$-module defined by the set of reflections of $\mathbb{S}_m$ and a specific one-dimensional representation of a subgroup of $\mathbb{S}_m$. It is a famous open problem to prove that $\mathcal{E}_m$ is infinite dimensional for all $m\geq 6$. In this work, as a step towards a solution of this problem, we introduce a subalgebra of $\mathcal{B}_{\mathbb{S}_m}$, and prove, under the assumption of finite dimensionality of $\mathcal{B}_{\mathbb{S}_m}$, that this subalgebra admits unique integrals in a strong sense, and we relate these integrals to integrals in $\mathcal{B}_{\mathbb{S}_m}$. The techniques we use rely on braided differential calculus as developed by Bazlov and Liu, and on the notion of integrals for Hopf algebras as introduced by Sweedler.
