Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between certain non-commutative analogues of projective 3-space, $mathbb{P}^3$, and the quantized enveloping algebras $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_2)$. The relationship is mediated by certain non-commutative graded algebras $S$, one for each $qinmathbb{C}^{i}mes$, having a degree-two central element $c$ such that $S[c^{-1}{]}_{0}cong{U}_q(mathfrak{sl}_2)$. The non-commutative analogues of $mathbb{P}^3$ are the spaces $operatorname{Proj}_{nc}(S)$. We show how the points, fat points, lines, and quadrics, in $operatorname{Proj}_{nc}(S)$, and their incidence relations, correspond to finite dimensional irreducible representations of $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_2)$, Verma modules, annihilators of Verma modules, and homomorphisms between them.

Review text

The homogenized quantum \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb C)\) is the \(\mathbb C\)-algebra with generators \(E,F,K,K'\) and relations \[ \begin{aligned} KE = q EK, & KF = q^{-1} FK, KK' = K'K,\\ K'E = q^{-1}EK', & K'F = q F K', [E,F] = \frac{K^2-K^{\prime 2}}{q-q^{-1}},\end{aligned} \] for some \(q \in \mathbb C \setminus \{0,\pm 1, \pm i\}\). The authors show that these algebras are Artin-Schelter regular degenerations of 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras. As such, these algebras are examples of homogeneous coordinate rings of noncommutative \(\mathbb P^3\)'s. The authors study the linear modules and the fat points of these algebras using the fact that \(K\) and \(K'\) are normal degree one elements. They connect these modules either to quotients which are 3-dimensional Artin-Schelter regular or to simple representations and Verma modules of quantized \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb C)\). This paper is an excellent example for people working in noncommutative geometry, as it demonstrates the connection between ordinary representation theory of affine algebras and the study of graded modules of their homogenized versions.
