A Parametric Family of Subalgebras of the Weyl Algebra III. Derivations

الأصل · EN

An Ore extension over a polynomial algebra F[x] is either a quantum plane, a quantum Weyl algebra, or an infinite-dimensional unital associative algebra Aₕ generated by elements x,y, which satisfy yx-xy = h, where h is in F[x]. When h is nonzero, these algebras are subalgebras of the Weyl algebra A₁ and can be viewed as differential operators with polynomial coefficients. In previous work, we investigated the structure of Aₕ, determined its automorphisms and their invariants, and studied the irreducible Aₕ-modules. Here we determine the derivations of Aₕ over an arbitrary field.
