Non-commutative Geometry of Homogenized Quantum $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})$
Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between certain non-commutative analogues of projective 3-space, $\mathbb{P}3$, and the quantized enveloping algebras $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}2)$. The relationship is mediated by certain non-commutative graded algebras $S$, one for each $q \in \mathbb{C}\times$, having a degree-two central element $c$ such that $S[c{-1}]_0 \cong U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. The non-commutative analogues of $\mathbb{P}3$ are the spaces $\operatorname{Proj}{nc}(S)$. We show how the points, fat points, lines, and quadrics, in $\operatorname{Proj}_{nc}(S)$, and their incidence relations, correspond to finite dimensional irreducible representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, Verma modules, annihilators of Verma modules, and homomorphisms between them.
