Homology of quantum linear groups (Q2240601)

In this paper, the authors compute the Hochschild homology of some quantum algebras, including the standard versions of quantum monoids \(M_{q}\left( n\right) \), the quantum general linear groups \(GL_{q}\left( n\right) \), and the quantum special linear groups \(SL_{q}\left( n\right) \) for \(n\geq1\). More explicitly, a nonzero \(q\) is fixed in a ground field \(k\) such that \(q\) is not a root of unity, and the coefficient \(k\)-bimodule \(_{f_{q,n}^{-1}}k\) considered for the homology is the 1-dimensional \(k\) equipped with the actions \(x_{ij}\vartriangleright1=f_{q,n}^{-1}\left( x_{ij}\right) :=\delta _{ij}q^{\left( n+1\right) -2i}\) and \(1\vartriangleleft x_{ij}=\delta_{ij}\) for the canonical generators \(x_{ij}\) of \(M_{q}\left( n\right) \) arising from the modular pair in involution \(\left( f_{q,n}^{-1},1\right) \) for the Hopf algebra \(H=GL_{q}\left( n\right) \) (or analogously for \(SL_{q}\left( n\right) \)) defined by the character \(f_{q,n}^{-1}:H\rightarrow k\) and the group-like element \(1\in H\). It is shown that the homology group \(H_{\ell}\left( M_{q}\left( n\right) ,_{f_{q,n}^{-1}}k\right) =H_{\ell}\left( GL_{q}\left( n\right) ,_{f_{q,n}^{-1}}k\right) \) is isomorphic to the direct sum of \(H_{\ell }\left( SL_{q}\left( n\right) ,_{f_{q,n}^{-1}}k\right) \) and \(H_{\ell -1}\left( SL_{q}\left( n\right) ,_{f_{q,n}^{-1}}k\right) \) for \(\ell\geq 0\). Furthermore, explicit calculations are carried out for \(M_{q}\left( n\right) \), \(GL_{q}\left( n\right) \), and \(SL_{q}\left( n\right) \) in the cases of \(n=2,3,4\) with their Betti numbers tabulated.
