Examples

• The quantum plane, the most basic example, is the quotient ring of the free ring:

k ⟨ ⟨ x , y ⟩ ⟩ / ( y x − − q x y ) {\displaystyle k\langle x,y\rangle /(yx-qxy)}

• More generally, the quantum polynomial ring is the quotient ring:

k ⟨ ⟨ x 1 , … … , x n ⟩ ⟩ / ( x i x j − − q i j x j x i ) {\displaystyle k\langle x_{1},\dots ,x_{n}\rangle /(x_{i}x_{j}-q_{ij}x_{j}x_{i})}

Proj construction

By definition, the Proj of a graded ring R is the quotient category of the category of finitely generated graded modules over R by the subcategory of torsion modules. If R is a commutative Noetherian graded ring generated by degree-one elements, then the Proj of R in this sense is equivalent to the category of coherent sheaves on the usual Proj of R. Hence, the construction can be thought of as a generalization of the Proj construction for a commutative graded ring.
