On Locally Finite Derivations in Ore Extensions
Abstract
Let Bbbk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We classify the locally finite derivations of arbitrary Ore extensions of Bbbk[x], thus extending van den Essen's \cite{V92} classification for the polynomial algebra Bbbk[x,y] to this noncommutative setting. More precisely, we consider the three families arising in the classification of Ore extensions of Bbbk[x]: the quantum plane, the first quantum Weyl algebra, and the differential Ore extensions Ah=Bbbk[x][t;h(x)∂x]. For both the quantum plane and the first quantum Weyl algebra, we determine the locally finite derivations and explain how the resulting classifications are related to the work of Suárez-Alvarez and Vivas \cite{SuarezVivas} on generalized Weyl algebras. For the algebras Ah, with h nonconstant, we obtain a complete classification in both the square-free and non-square-free cases. As a consequence, we show that LFD(Ah) is a solvable and weakly locally finite Lie subalgebra of Der(Ah), although it is not locally finite as a set of derivations.
