The homogenised enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra \(sl(2,\mathbb{C})\) (Q2921058)

If \(\mathfrak{g}\) is a Lie algebra, then the universal enveloping algebra \(U(\mathfrak{g})\) is presented by generators from \(\mathfrak{g}\) with relations \(xy-yx=[x,y]\). The homogenization of \(U(\mathfrak{g})\) is generated by \(\mathfrak{g}\) and one additional generator \(z\) with the above relations substituted by the homogeneous version \(xy-yx=[x,y]z\) plus requiring that \(z\) is central. The paper under review studies the homogenized enveloping algebra for the Lie algebra \(sl(2,\mathbb{C})\).NEWLINENEWLINEDirectly from the definition it follows that this algebra is graded and quadratic. The author shows that it is Koszul, Artin-Schelter regular of global dimension four and that its Yoneda dual is a self-injective algebra with vanishing fifth power of the radical. It is shown that the homogenized versions of Verma modules are Koszul modules of projective dimension two. Koszul duals of these modules are characterized and their disposition inside the corresponding regular component is determined.
