The graded algebra generated by two Eulerian derivatives (Q5951634)

Let \(V=F[y^{\pm 1}]\) be a Laurent polynomial algebra over a field \(F\) in one variable \(y\). If \(p\in F\) and \(p\neq 1,0\), then there is a linear operator \[ x_p(f(y))=\tfrac{f(py)-f(y)}{py-y} \] on \(V\). If \(p=1\), then we put \(x_1(f(y))=\tfrac{df}{dy}\). Suppose that \(p,q\) are nonzero elements of \(F\), either \(p,q\) are independent in the multiplicative Abelian group \(F^*\) or \(p=1\), \(q\) is not a root of 1 and the field \(F\) has characteristic zero. Denote by \(R_{p,q}\) the subalgebra in \(\text{End }V\) generated by two operators \(x_p,x_q\). It is shown that the algebra \(R_{p,q}\) is a domain with Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 3. Defining relations of \(R_{p,q}\) are presented by one cubic and one quadratic relation. Each graded automorphism of \(R_{p,q}\) has the form \(x_p\mapsto\lambda x_p\), \(x_q\mapsto\lambda x_q\) where \(\lambda\in F^*\). It is conjectured that the algebra \(R_{p,q}\) is left or right Noetherian. In order to prove this conjecture the author establishes a criterion for a cyclic module \(R_{p,q}/R_{p,q}f\) to be Noetherian and classifies point modules in the sense of \textit{M. Artin, J. Tate}, and \textit{M. Van den Bergh} [Invent. Math. 106, No. 2, 335-388 (1991; Zbl 0763.14001)].
