Abstract: In this paper we show that each non-zero ideal of a twisted generalized Weyl algebra (TGWA) $A$ intersects the centralizer of the distinguished subalgebra $R$ in $A$ non-trivially. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the centralizer of $R$ in $A$ to be commutative, and give examples of TGWAs associated to symmetric Cartan matrices satisfying this condition. By imposing a certain finiteness condition on $R$ (weaker than Noetherianity) we are able to make an Ore localization which turns out to be useful when investigating simplicity of the TGWA. Under this mild assumption we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the simplicity of TGWAs. We describe how this is related to maximal commutativity of $R$ in $A$ and the (non-) existence of non-trivial $$-invariant ideals of $R$. Our result is a generalization of the rank one case, obtained by D. A. Jordan in 1993. We illustrate our theorems by considering some special classes of TGWAs and providing concrete examples.

Review text

Twisted generalized Weyl algebras (TGWA) are defined using a presentation which generalizes the classical Weyl and generalized Weyl algebras, by changing some commutativity relations to non-commutativity relations. This presentation starts with a choice of a ``Cartan subalgebra \(R\). In this paper the authors show that each non-zero ideal of a TGWA has non-zero intersection with the centralizer of \(R\). Further, they give necessary and sufficient conditions for the centralizer of \(R\) to be commutative and, finally, they present sufficient and necessary conditions for certain TGWAs to be simple. Several explicit examples are considered and various applications are provided. At the end of the paper the authors discuss their results in the context of graded algebras showing how they are related to, and sometimes different from, the corresponding results for other classes of graded algebras.
