For any ring , we denote by the Weyl algebra.
If is a field with characteristic , then we further employ the following notations.

Similarly we use a notation to indicate a copy of non-bar counterparts.
For a matrix , we denote by the left action, the right action, and the adjoint action by , respectively.
