Plane curves which are quantum homogeneous spaces
Abstract
Let be a decomposable plane curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. That is, is defined in by an equation of the form , where and are polynomials of degree at least 2. We use this data to construct 3 pointed Hopf algebras, , and , in the first two of which [resp. ] are skew primitive central elements, and the third being a factor of the tensor product of the first two. We conjecture that contains the coordinate ring of as a quantum homogeneous space, and prove this when each of and has degree at most 5 or is a power of the variable. We obtain many properties of these Hopf algebras, and show that, for small degrees, they are related to previously known algebras. For example, when has degree 3 is a PBW deformation of the localisation at powers of a generator of the downup algebra .
