X Abstract

Let R be the set of isomorphism classes of ideals in the Weyl algebra $A=A_1$, and let C be the set of isomorphism classes of triples (V; X, Y), where V is a finite-dimensional (complex) vector space, and X, Y are endomorphisms of V such that [X,Y]+I has rank 1. Following a suggestion of L. Le Bruyn, we define a map $θ: R \to C$ by appropriately extending an ideal of A to a sheaf over a quantum projective plane, and then using standard methods of homological algebra. We prove that $θ$ is inverse to a bijection $ω: C \to R$ constructed in \citeBW by a completely different method. The main step in the proof is to show that $θ$ is equivariant with respect to natural actions of the group G=Aut(A) on R and C: for that we have to study also the extensions of an ideal to certain weighted quantum projective planes. Along the way, we find an elementary description of θ.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
