Homological properties of Sklyanin algebras

Abstract

To a pair consisting of an elliptic curve and a point on it, Odeskii and Feigin associate certain quadratic algebras (“Sklyanin algebras”), having the Hilbert series of a polynomial algebra. In this paper we show that Sklyanin algebras have good homological properties and we obtain some information about their so-called linear modules. We also show how the construction by Odeskii and Feigin may be generalized so as to yield other “Sklyanin-type” algebras.
