Abstract

We determine simplicity criteria in characteristics 0 and pp for a ubiquitous class of iterated skew polynomial rings in two indeterminates over a base ring. One obstruction to simplicity is the possible existence of a canonical normal element zz. In the case where this element exists we give simplicity criteria for the rings obtained by inverting zz and the rings obtained by factoring out the ideal generated by zz. The results are illustrated by numerous examples including higher quantized Weyl algebras and generalizations of some low-dimensional symplectic reflection algebras.
