Abstract: In this paper we study the homogenized algebra B of the enveloping algebra U of the Lie algebra sl(2,C). We look first to connections between the category of graded left B- modules and the category of U-modules, then we prove B is Koszul and Artin-Schelter regular of global dimension four, hence its Yoneda algebra %B! is selfinjective of radical five zero, the structure of B! is given. We describe next the category of homogenized Verma modules, which correspond to the lifting to B of the usual Verma modules over U, and prove that such modules are Koszul of projective dimension two. It was proved in [MZ] that all graded stable components of a selfinjective Koszul algebra are of type ZAinfty, we characterize here the graded B!% -modules corresponding under Koszul duality to the homogenized Verma modules, and prove that they are located at the mouth of a regular component, in this way we obtain a family of components over a wild algebra indexed by C. The paper ends with the description of a family of weight modules over B which corresponds to the weight modules over U and with a description of the category of B - modules corresponding to the Gelfand's category %mathcalO of U-modules .


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.
