Non-commutative algebraic geometry of semi-graded rings

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the semi-graded rings, which extend graded rings and skew Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt (PBW) extensions. For this new type of non-commutative rings, we will discuss some basic problems of non-commutative algebraic geometry. In particular, we will prove some elementary properties of the generalized Hilbert series, Hilbert polynomial and Gelfand–Kirillov dimension. We will extend the notion of non-commutative projective scheme to the case of semi-graded rings and we generalize the Serre–Artin–Zhang–Verevkin theorem. Some examples are included at the end of the paper.
