deformed skew \((x_3x_2;\ x_4^2, x_1^2)\)

A quantum (skew) polynomial ring with two quadratic terms added to one relation: \(x_3 x_2\) acquires \(-t\,x_4^2 - s\,x_1^2\).

Relations
  • \(x_2 x_1 - (1/q_{13}) x_1 x_2\)
  • \(x_3 x_1 - q_{13} x_1 x_3\)
  • \(x_4 x_1 - x_1 x_4\)
  • \(x_3 x_2 - q_{23} x_2 x_3 - t x_4^2 - s x_1^2\)
  • \(x_4 x_2 - (1/q_{34}) x_2 x_4\)
  • \(x_4 x_3 - q_{34} x_3 x_4\)
Parameters
  • \(q_{13}, q_{23}, q_{34}\) — skew-commutation parameters.
  • \(t, s\) — coefficients of the two deforming terms.
Point scheme
a line, two conics and two points (dimension \(1\)).
Line scheme
two planes, a quartic curve 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 \(A\)
\(\mathrm{HH}^\bullet_0(A) = (1, 2, 4, 8)\)
Hochschild cohomology of \(\operatorname{qgr} A\)
\(\mathrm{HH}^\bullet(\operatorname{qgr} A) = (1, 1, 3, 7)\)
Kodaira–Spencer
rank \(3\)
injective: no
surjective: no
Nakayama automorphism
\(\nu = \operatorname{diag}\!\left(1,\tfrac{q_{34}}{q_{13}q_{23}},\tfrac{q_{13}q_{23}}{q_{34}},1\right)\).
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.
