Abstract

For nNn\in\mathbb{N} and q[0,1[q\in [0,1[, the Vaksman-Soibelman quantum sphere Sq2n+1S^{2n+1}_q is described by an associative algebra A(Sq2n+1)\mathcal{A}(S^{2n+1}_q) deforming the algebra of polynomial functions on the 2n+1 dimensional unit sphere. Its C*-enveloping algebra is known to be independent of the deformation parameter q. In contrast to what happens in the C*-algebraic setting, we show here that, for all q,qq,q' in the above range, A(Sq2n+1)\mathcal{A}(S^{2n+1}_q) is isomorphic to A(Sq2n+1)\mathcal{A}(S^{2n+1}_{q'}) only if q=qq=q'.
