deformed skew \((x_2x_1;\ x_3x_4)\)

A quantum (skew) polynomial ring with a single quadratic term added: the \(x_2 x_1\) relation acquires the cross-term \(-t\,x_3 x_4\).

Relations
  • \(x_2 x_1 - q_{12} x_1 x_2 - t x_3 x_4\)
  • \(x_3 x_1 - q_{13} x_1 x_3\)
  • \(x_4 x_1 - q_{14} x_1 x_4\)
  • \(x_3 x_2 - q_{23} x_2 x_3\)
  • \(x_4 x_2 - (1/(q_{13} q_{23} q_{14})) x_2 x_4\)
  • \(x_4 x_3 - (1/(q_{13} q_{23})) x_3 x_4\)
Parameters
  • \(q_{12}, q_{13}, q_{14}, q_{23}\) — skew-commutation parameters.
  • \(t\) — coefficient of the deforming term.
Point scheme
a union of 5 lines (dimension \(1\)).
Line scheme
two planes, two conics and two lines (dimension \(2\)).
Centre
\(\dim \operatorname{Z}(A)_2 = 0\), \(\dim \operatorname{Z}(A)_3 = 0\), \(\dim \operatorname{Z}(A)_4 = 0\).
Normal elements
normal locus dimension \(0\) (degree 1), \(0\) (degree 2).
Hochschild cohomology of \(A\)
\(\mathrm{HH}^\bullet_0(A) = (1, 3, 4, 3)\)
Hochschild cohomology of \(\operatorname{qgr} A\)
\(\mathrm{HH}^\bullet(\operatorname{qgr} A) = (1, 2, 4, 7)\)
Kodaira–Spencer
rank \(4\)
injective: no
surjective: yes
Nakayama automorphism
\(\nu = \operatorname{diag}\!\left(\tfrac{1}{q_{12}q_{13}q_{14}},q_{12}q_{13}q_{14},q_{13}^{2}q_{23}^{2},\tfrac{1}{q_{13}^{2}q_{23}^{2}}\right)\).
Depends on the parameters.
Homological determinant \(\det \nu = 1\).
Computed exactly over \(\mathbb{Q}(\text{params})\).
Introduced
arXiv:2511.08390. One of the deformed skew polynomial (\(\mathcal{F}\)) families; its earlier origin is not pinned down here.
