Simple modules over quantized Weyl algebras at roots of unity

From MaRDI portal





Analogous to the Weyl algebra, certain quantized versions can be viewed as algebras of partial \(q\)-difference operators on quantum affine spaces. The prime spectrum, the automorphism group, and the isomorphism problem for both versions of quantum Weyl algebras have been extensively studied. Most of these results concern the generic case in which the deformation parameters are non-roots of unity. When the deformation parameters of a quantized algebra are specialized to roots of unity, the algebra becomes a finitely generated module over its center and hence a Polynomial Identity (PI) algebra. The theory of PI algebras is a crucial tool to study this algebra, with the minimal degree and PI degree serving as fundamental invariants of the PI algebra. In the case of a prime affine PI algebra over an algebraically closed field, the PI degree bounds the \(\mathbb{K}\)-dimension of a simple module and this bound will be attained by the algebra. The authors classify the simple modules over the second quantized Weyl algebras at roots of unity over an algebraically closed field.
