Complements of the point schemes of noncommutative projective lines

Jackson Ryder

TL;DR

This work analyzes the affine open complement of the point scheme in Chan–Nyman's noncommutative P^1 for simple rank-2 bimodules. By inverting a normal degree-2 family $g$, they form the $\ ext{Z}$-indexed localization $\Lambda = \text{S}^{nc}(V)[g^{-1}]$ and study $\Lambda_{00}$, proving it is a noncommutative Dedekind domain of GK-dimension $1$. A detailed ideal-theoretic analysis shows a dichotomy: when $V$ is algebraic (finite order of $\sigma$) the ring is finite over its center, while if $V$ is non-algebraic the ring is simple; this mirrors analogous open subsets of noncommutative quadrics. The authors combine explicit $\mathbb{Z}$-indexed algebra decompositions with Ore localization and Dedekind-domain theory to identify $\Lambda_{00}$ as a key noncommutative affine curve and to illustrate a new simple Dedekind-type example beyond skew polynomial or Laurent rings.

Abstract

Recently, Chan and Nyman constructed noncommutative projective lines via a noncommutative symmetric algebra for a bimodule $V$ over a pair of fields. These noncommutative projective lines of contain a canonical closed subscheme (the point scheme) determined by a normal family of elements in the noncommutative symmetric algebra. We study the complement of this subscheme when $V$ is simple, the coordinate ring of which is obtained by inverting said normal family. We show that this localised ring is a noncommutative Dedekind domain of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 1. Furthermore, the question of simplicity of these Dedekind domains is answered by a similar dichotomy to an analogous open subscheme of the noncommutative quadrics of Artin, Tate and Van den Bergh.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

There is an isomorphism of $\mathbb{Z}$-indexed algebras $T(F) \xrightarrow{\sim}\mathcal{T}$ between the tensor algebra $T(F)$ and $\mathcal{T}$. Moreover, for all $i,j \in \mathbb{Z}$ there are $K_i-K_j$-bilinear isomorphisms
