When h is nonzero, these algebras are subalgebras of the Weyl algebra A_1 and can be viewed as differential operators with polynomial coefficients. In previous work, we studied the structure of A_h and determined its automorphism group and the subalgebra of invariants under the automorphism group. Here we determine the irreducible A_h-modules. In a sequel to this paper, we completely describe the derivations of A_h over any field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-04-09T03:05:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16S32", "16D60", "05E15" ], "keywords": [ "irreducible modules", "subalgebra", "parametric family", "automorphism group", "quantum weyl algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1212.1404B" } } }
