The $$2\times 2$$ quantum matrix Weyl algebra. (English) Zbl 0851.16025
The algebras of differentials on quantum affine spaces introduced by G. Maltsiniotis [Calcul différentiel quantique, Groupe de travail, Université de Paris VII (1992)] have been studied from the point of view of noncommutative ring theory in a number of papers – e.g., Akhavizadegan and the second author [Prime ideals of quantized Weyl algebras (Glasg. Math. J., to appear)]; J. Alev and the first author [J. Algebra 170, No. 1, 229-265 (1994; Zbl 0820.17015)]; G. Cauchon [J. Algebra 180, No. 2, 530-545 (1996; Zbl 0849.16028)]; T. H. Lenagan and the reviewer [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 111, 123-142 (1996)]; the second author [J. Algebra 174, No. 1, 267-281 (1995; Zbl 0833.16025)]; and L. Rigal [Beitr. Algebra Geom. 37, No. 1, 119-148 (1996)]. Here the authors consider an algebra $$W_{p,q}$$ of differentials on two-parameter $$2\times 2$$ quantum matrices defined by G. Maltsiniotis [in Commun. Math. Phys. 151, No. 2, 275-302 (1993; Zbl 0783.17007)], and investigate its similarities with the quantum Weyl algebras $$A^{\overline{q},\Lambda}_n$$ studied earlier. Similarities: $$W_{p,q}$$ has a simple localization of Krull and global dimension 4 obtained by inverting a finite set of normal elements, and this localization is isomorphic to a corresponding localization of an $$A^{\overline{q},\Lambda}_4$$ for suitable choices of parameters $$\overline{q},\Lambda$$. Dissimilarity: $$W_{p,q}$$ has 3 height 1 primes, rather than 4 as in any $$A^{\overline{q},\Lambda}_4$$. In particular, $$W_{p,q}$$ is not isomorphic to any $$A^{\overline{q},\Lambda}_4$$. These properties of $$W_{p,q}$$ are derived by presenting the algebra as an iterated skew polynomial ring in such a way that a generalization of the techniques developed by the second author [ibid.] can be applied.
