Abstract: We consider algebras of quantum differential operators, for appropriate bicharacters on a polynomial algebra in one indeterminate and for the coordinate algebra of quantum n-space for ngeq3. In the former case a set of generators for the quantum differential operators was identified in work by the first author and T. C. McCune but it was not known whether the algebra is Noetherian. We answer this question affirmatively, setting it in a more general context involving the behaviour Noetherian condition under localization at the powers of a single element. In the latter case we determine the algebra of quantum differential operators as a skew group algebra of the group mathbbZn over a quantized Weyl algebra. It follows from this description that this algebra is a simple right and left Noetherian domain.


Let \(k\) be a field of characteristic zero and \(\Gamma\) an abelian group with a bicharacter \(\beta\colon\Gamma\otimes\Gamma\to k^*\). Under this assumption one can define on a \(\Gamma\)-graded algebra \(R\) commutators \([x,y]_a=xr-\beta(a,d_y)x\) for any \(a\in\Gamma\) and homogeneous element \(y\in R_{d_y}\). Following ideas from a paper by \textit{V. A. Lunts} and \textit{A. L. Rosenberg} [Sel. Math., New Ser. 3, No. 3, 335-359 (1997; Zbl 0937.16040)], the algebra \(D(R)\) of quantum differential operators on \(R\) is introduced. The first part of the present paper deals with the case when \(\Gamma=\mathbb Z\) and \(R\) is a (Laurent) polynomial algebra in one variable. It is shown that the algebra \(D(R)\) is left and right Noetherian. This property is preserved under localizations by powers of a single element. In the case of several variables it is shown that the algebra of quantum differential operators is a skew group algebra of the group \(\mathbb Z^n\) over quantized Weyl algebra. It follows that \(D(R)\) is simple, left and right Noetherian.
