Discrete Analogues of the Heisenberg-Weyl Algebra.
Let S = Σi=1n Rai be a finite normalizing extension of R and suppose that SM is a left S-module. Denote by crk(A) the dual Goldie dimension of the module A. We show that crk(RM) ≤ n · crk(SM) if either SM is artinian or the group homomorphism M → aiM given by x → aix is an isomorphism.
We study effectively the Cartan geometry of Levi-nondegenerate C 6-smooth hypersurfaces M 3 in ℂ2. Notably, we present the so-called curvature function of a related Tanaka-type normal connection explicitly in terms of a graphing function for M, which is the initial, single available datum. Vanishing of this curvature function then characterizes explicitly the local biholomorphic equivalence of such M 3 ⊂ ℂ2 to the Heisenberg sphere ℍ3, such M’s being necessarily real analytic.
