Topological invariance of quantum quaternion spheres

Abstract: The

C^{*}

-algebra of continuous functions on the quantum quaternion sphere

H_{q}^{2 n}

can be identified with the quotient algebra

C (S P_{q} (2 n) / S P_{q} (2 n - 2))

. In commutative case i.e. for

q = 1

, the topological space

S P (2 n) / S P (2 n - 2)

is homeomorphic to the odd dimensional sphere

S^{4 n - 1}

. In this paper, we prove the noncommutative analogue of this result. Using homogeneous

C^{*}

-extension theory, we prove that the

C^{*}

-algebra

C (H_{q}^{2 n})

is isomorphic to the

C^{*}

-algebra

C (S_{q}^{4 n - 1})

. This further implies that for different values of

q i n [0, 1)

, the

C^{*}

-algebras underlying the noncommutative space

H_{q}^{2 n}

are isomorphic.
