In this note, we correct an error in arXiv:1702.04949 by adding an additional assumption of join completeness. We demonstrate with examples why this assumption is necessary, and discuss how join completeness relates to other properties of a skew lattice.
We characterize the left-handed noncommutative frames that arise from sheaves on topological spaces. Further, we show that a general left-handed noncommutative frame $A$ arises from a sheaf on the dissolution locale associated to the commutative shadow of $A$. Both constructions are made precise in terms of dual equivalences of categories, similar to the duality result for strongly distributive skew lattices in arXiv:1206.5848.
We study the effect of noncommutativity of space on the physics of a quantum interferometer located in a rotating disk in a gauge field background. To this end, we develop a path-integral approach which allows defining an effective action from which relevant physical quantities can be computed as in the usual commutative case. For the specific case of a constant magnetic field, we are able to compute, exactly, the noncommutative Lagrangian and the associated shift on the interference pattern for any value of $theta$.
These are significantly expanded lecture notes for the authors minicourse at MSRI in June 2012, as published in the MSRI lecture note series, with some minor additional corrections. In these notes, we give an example-motivated review of the deformation theory of associative algebras in terms of the Hochschild cochain complex as well as quantization of Poisson structures, and Kontsevichs formality theorem in the smooth setting. We then discuss quantization and deformation via Calabi-Yau algebras and potentials. Examples discussed include Weyl algebras, enveloping algebras of Lie algebras, symplectic reflection algebras, quasihomogeneous isolated hypersurface singularities (including du Val singularities), and Calabi-Yau algebras.
We introduce the notion of right pre-resolutions (quasi-resolutions) for noncommutative isolated singularities, which is a weaker version of quasi-resolutions introduced by Qin-Wang-Zhang. We prove that right quasi-resolutions for noetherian bounded below and locally finite graded algebra with right injective dimension 2 are always Morita equivalent. When we restrict to noncommutative quadric hypersurfaces, we prove that a noncommutative quadric hypersurface, which is a noncommutative isolated singularity, always admits a right pre-resolution. Besides, we provide a method to verify whether a noncommutative quadric hypersurface is an isolated singularity. An example of noncommutative quadric hypersurfaces with detailed computations of indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules and right pre-resolutions is included as well.
Injective modules play an important role in characterizing different classes of rings (e.g. Noetherian rings, semisimple rings). Some semirings have no non-zero injective semimodules (e.g. the semiring of non-negative integers). In this paper, we study some of the basic properties of the so called e-injective semimodules introduced by the first author using a new notion of exact sequences of semimodules. We clarify the relationships between the injective semimodules, the e-injective semimodule, and the i-injective semimodules through several implications, examples and counter examples. Moreover, we provide partial results for the so called Embedding Problem (of semimodules in injective semimodules).
