Abstract

The faithful irreducible *-representations of the CC^*-algebra of the quantum symplectic sphere Sq4n1,n2S_q^{4n-1}, n\geq 2, have been investigated by D'Andrea and Landi. They proved that the first n1n-1 generators are all zero inside C(Sq4n1)C^*(S_q^{4n-1}), for n2n\geq 2. The result is a generalisation of the case where n=2n=2, which was shown by Mikkelsen and Szyma\'nski. We will show that C(Sq4n1),n2C^*(S_q^{4n-1}), n\geq 2 is isomorphic to a graph CC^*-algebra. From here it follows that C(Sq4n1)C^*(S_q^{4n-1}) is isomorphic to the quantum (2(n+1)1)(2(n+1)-1)-sphere by Vaksman and Soibelman.

Comments

The paper builds on the wrong statement in the paper "The quantum twistor bundle" Theorem 4.2. Therefore the C*-algebra investigated in the present paper is not the one for the quantum symplectic sphere
