Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between certain non-commutative analogues of projective 3-space, P3\mathbb{P}^3, and the quantized enveloping algebras Uq(sl2)U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2). The relationship is mediated by certain non-commutative graded algebras SS, one for each qC×q \in \mathbb{C}^\times, having a degree-two central element cc such that S[c1]0Uq(sl2)S[c^{-1}]_0 \cong U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2). The non-commutative analogues of P3\mathbb{P}^3 are the spaces Projnc(S)\operatorname{Proj}_{nc}(S). We show how the points, fat points, lines, and quadrics, in Projnc(S)\operatorname{Proj}_{nc}(S), and their incidence relations, correspond to finite dimensional irreducible representations of Uq(sl2)U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2), Verma modules, annihilators of Verma modules, and homomorphisms between them.
