Abstract

The first Weyl algebra over kk, A1=kx,y/(xyyx1)A_1 = k \langle x, y\rangle/(xy-yx - 1) admits a natural Z\mathbb{Z}-grading by letting degx=1\operatorname{deg} x = 1 and degy=1\operatorname{deg} y = -1. Paul Smith showed that grA1\operatorname{gr}- A_1 is equivalent to the category of quasicoherent sheaves on a certain quotient stack. Using autoequivalences of grA1\operatorname{gr}- A_1, Smith constructed a commutative ring CC, graded by finite subsets of the integers. He then showed grA1gr(C,Zfin)\operatorname{gr}- A_1 \equiv \operatorname{gr}- (C, \mathbb{Z}_{\mathrm{fin}}). In this paper, we generalize results of Smith by using autoequivalences of a graded module category to construct rings with equivalent graded module categories. For certain generalized Weyl algebras, we use autoequivalences defined in a companion paper so that these constructions yield commutative rings.
