Plane curves which are quantum homogeneous spaces (Q2149533)

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(0\). In this paper, the authors consider the following question: Which a commutative affine algebra can be realized as a quantum homogeneous space? This question can be regarded as a way to consider the interaction between commutative algebra and Hopf algebras, which should be a potential direction of Hopf theory. The main purpose of this paper is to show that more or less a curve \(\mathcal{C}\in k^2\) defined by \(f(x)=g(y)\) is a quantum homogeneous space. Here the phrase ``more or less'' means that the curve needs to satisfy the following hypothesis: each of \(f(x)\) and \(g(y)\) either has degree at most 5 or is a power of the variable. To show this result, the authors construct explicitly a pointed Hopf algebra, denoted by \(A(g,f)\), and prove that \(\mathcal{O}(\mathcal{C})\) is a faithfully flat right coideal subalgebra of \(A(g,f).\) I do believe that this will contribute to the development of this subject, and in any case the result itself is undoubtedly interesting.
