4d-AS-regular

the classification of 4-dimensional Artin–Schelter regular algebras

← all families

Shelton–Tingey

A rigid (parameter-free) Koszul AS-regular algebra obtained from Shelton–Tingey's construction; the squares \(x_1^2, x_2^2, x_3^2, x_4^2\) are paired and the cross relations are twisted by \(i\).

Relations
  • \(x_3 x_1 - x_1 x_3 + x_2^2\)
  • \(i x_4 x_1 + x_1 x_4\)
  • \(x_4 x_2 - x_2 x_4 + x_3^2\)
  • \(i x_3 x_2 + x_2 x_3\)
  • \(x_1^2 - x_3^2\)
  • \(x_2^2 - x_4^2\)
Parameters
  • \(i\) — a primitive 4th root of unity (\(i^2 = -1\)) in the base field; no free parameters.
Point scheme
20 points (dimension \(0\)).
Normal elements
normal locus dimension \(-1\) (degree 1), \(0\) (degree 2).
Hochschild cohomology
\(\mathrm{HH}^\bullet_0(A)\) \(= (1, 1, 1, 7)\)
Kodaira–Spencer
rank \(0\); injective: yes; surjective: no.
