The center of the \(3\)-dimensional and \(4\)-dimensional Sklyanin algebras (Q1327525)

Let \(A = A(E, \tau)\) be a Sklyanin algebra of dimension either 3 or 4, over an algebraically closed field whose characteristic does not divide the dimension of \(A\) [see the review of \textit{S. P. Smith}, \(K\)-Theory 8, No. 1, 65-80 (1994; Zbl 0809.16051) above]. Let us suppose that \(\tau\) is of finite order. A presentation of \(Z(A)\), the center of \(A\), by generators and relations is given. (It is known that \(A\) is a finite module over \(Z(A)\).) Now, \(A\) defines a sheaf of algebras \(\mathcal A\) over \(S = \text{Proj } Z(A)\). Then \(\mathcal Z\), the center of \(\mathcal A\), is also determined. Let us consider the scheme \(\text{Spec } {\mathcal Z}\), as defined e.g. in Hartshorne's book. When the dimension is 3, M. Artin proved that \(\text{Spec } {\mathcal Z} \simeq \mathbb{P}^ 2\). The authors give a new proof of this fact. They also show that, for dimension 4, \(\text{Spec } {\mathcal Z}\) is rational and normal, but singular. Its singular locus is described. The strategy used throughout the paper is to pass to a quotient \(B\) of \(A\), which is a twisted version of the homogeneous coordinate ring of the elliptic curve \(E\) and then to lift back to \(A\).
