Abstract

The CC^*-algebra of continuous functions on the quantum quaternion sphere Hq2nH_q^{2n} can be identified with the quotient algebra C(SPq(2n)/SPq(2n2))C(SP_q(2n)/SP_q(2n-2)). In commutative case i.e. for q=1q=1, the topological space SP(2n)/SP(2n2)SP(2n)/SP(2n-2) is homeomorphic to the odd dimensional sphere S4n1S^{4n-1}. In this paper, we prove the noncommutative analogue of this result. Using homogeneous CC^*-extension theory, we prove that the CC^*-algebra C(Hq2n)C(H_q^{2n}) is isomorphic to the CC^*-algebra C(Sq4n1)C(S_q^{4n-1}). This further implies that for different values of q[0,1)q \in [0,1), the CC^*-algebras underlying the noncommutative space Hq2nH_q^{2n} are isomorphic.
