SIMPLE MODULES AND NON-COMMUTATIVE QUADRICS

Abstract

In this paper we classify non-commutative quadrics and study their homological properties. In fact we find all non-commutative algebras of degree 2 up to isomorphism and we study these algebras via their homomorphic images onto the polynomial algebra k[x,y] as well as the Ext 1(k(p), k(q))-groups, where k(p) and k(q) are one-dimensional simple modules. Moreover some general results on simple finite-dimensional modules are obtained. Some of these results are applied to the special cases of non-commutative quadrics.
