    Let \(N\) be an integer and let \(q\) be a primitive root of unity in the field \(\mathbb{C}\) of complex numbers. The authors study the algebra \(F_q(N)\) introduced by \textit{L. D. Faddeev, N. Yu. Reshetikhin} and \textit{L. A. Takhtadzhan} [Algebraic Analysis 1, 129-139 (1989; Zbl 0677.17010)]. The Poisson structure defined by \(F_q (N)\) on \(\mathbb{C}^N\), as explained by \textit{C. De Concini} and \textit{C. Procesi} [in Lect. Notes Math. 1565, 31-140 (1993; Zbl 0795.17005)], is described. The theory developed by De Concini and Procesi is then applied to determine the degree and the center of the algebra \(F_q(N)\), when \(q\) is of odd order; these considerations rely on the relationship between \(F_q(N)\) and an associated quasipolynomial algebra \(\overline{F_q(N)}\). The irreducible representations of the algebra \(F_q(N)\) are studied and it is shown that it satisfies the De Concini-Kac-Procesi conjecture [\textit{C. De Concini, V. G. Kac} and \textit{C. Procesi}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 5, 151-189 (1992; Zbl 0747.17018)], which relates the representation theory of \(F_q(N)\) with the Poisson structure already mentioned. The authors explain how the representation theory and symplectic leaves of the algebra \(F_q(N)\) are related to those of the algebra considered by \textit{S.-Q. Oh} [in J. Algebra 174, 531-552 (1995; Zbl 0828.17011)]; they conclude that this algebra satisfies as well the De Concini-Kac-Procesi conjecture. The last section studies annihilators of simple modules in the case where \(q\) is generic. It is shown that, for generic \(q\), a description of the primitive ideals of \(F_q(N)\) can be given in a way similar to Oh's description by means of admissible sets.
