We study the Poisson (co)homology of the algebra of truncated polynomials in two variables viewed as the semi-classical limit of a quantum complete intersection studied by Bergh and Erdmann. We show in particular that the Poisson cohomology ring of such a Poisson algebra is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology ring of the corresponding quantum complete intersection.
We give a necessary condition for Morita equivalence of simple Generalized Weyl algebras of classical type. We propose a reformulation of Hodges' result, which describes Morita equivalences in case the polynomial defining the Generalized Weyl algebra has degree 2, in terms of isomorphisms of quantum tori, inspired by similar considerations in noncommutative differential geometry. We study how far this link can be generalized for $n\ge 3$.
Hartwig, Larsson and the second author in [J. Algebra, 2005] defined a bracket on sigma-derivations of a commutative algebra. We show that this bracket preserves inner derivations, and based on this obtain some structural results on sigma-derivations on Laurent polynomials in one variable.
We study isomorphisms between generalized Weyl algebras, giving a complete answer to the quantum case of this problem for R=k[h].
This article is devoted to rational equivalence for non-commutative polynomial algebras in a context including both the classical Gelfand-Kirillov problem and its quantum version. We introduce in this ``mixed'' context some reference algebras and define two new invariants allowing us to separate the fraction fields of these algebras up to isomorphism. The first one is linked to the notion of maximal simple quantum sub-torus, and the second one is a dimensionnal invariant measuring the classical character (in terms of Weyl algebras) of the skew-fields into consideration. As an application we obtain results concerning the rational equivalence of multiparametrized quantum Weyl algebras.
We study Hochschild homology and cohomology for some polynomial algebras mixing both ``classical'' relations ($XY-YX=1$) and ``quantum'' relations ($XY=łYX$). More specifically, we prove that the algebra of differential operators on any quantum affine space (quantum Weyl algebra) have the same Hochschild homology, and satisfy the same duality relation, as the classical Weyl algebra does.
