Automorphisms and isomorphisms of quantum generalized Weyl algebras. (Q2512732)

Let \(k\) be a field and \(D\) is one of the polynomial algebras \(D=k[h]\) or \(D=k[h^{\pm 1}]\). Fix a nonzero non-identity element \(q\in k\) and a polynomial \(a\in D\). The generalized Weyl algebra \(\mathcal A(D,q,a)\) in the sense of V. V. Bavula is generated by elements \(x,y,h\) with defining relations \[ hy=qyh,\quad xh=qhx,\quad yx=a(h),\quad xy=a(qh). \] The first result of the paper solves the isomorphism problem for algebras of type \(\mathcal A(D,q,a)\). The second result of the paper determines the automorphism group of \(\mathcal A(D,q,a)\). Particular cases of the results for automorphims were considered by J. Alev and M. Chamarie, L. Richard and A. Solotar.
