Quantum n-space as a quotient of classical n-space
Abstract
Description
Let $A$ denote the commutative polynomial ring in $n$ variables, over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $R$ denote the standard multiparameter quantization of $A$ determined by a multiplicatively antisymmetric $n\times n$ matrix $(q_{ij})$. In this paper we prove, when -1 cannot be multiplicatively generated by the $q_{ij}$, that the primitive spectrum of $R$ is a topological quotient of $k^n$. Under the same hypothesis, we further prove that the prime spectrum of $R$ is a topological quotient of the prime spectrum of $A$.
