The krull and global dimension of the tensor product of n-dimensional quantum tori (1409.6434v2)
Abstract: The n-dimensional quantum torus is defined as the $F$-algebra generated by variables $x_1, \cdots, x_n$ together with their inverses satisfying the relations $x_ix_j = q_{ij}x_jx_i$, where $q_{ij} \in F$. The Krull and global dimensions of this algebra are known to coincide and the common value is equal to the supremum of the rank of certain subgroups of $\langle x_1, \cdots, x_n \rangle$ that can be associated with this algebra. In this paper we study how these dimensions behave with respect to taking tensor products of quantum tori %over the base field. We derive a best possible upper bound for the dimension of such a tensor product and %deduce from this special cases in which the dimension is additive with respect to tensoring.
