    Witt's theorem for noncommutative conics

    Full text link
    Let k be a field. We show that all homogeneous noncommutative curves of genus zero over k are noncommutative P^1-bundles over a (possibly) noncommutative base. Using this result, we compute complete isomorphism invariants of homogeneous noncommutative curves of genus zero, allowing us to generalize a theorem of Witt.Comment: Section two generalize

    Noncommutative Tsen's theorem in dimension one

    Full text link
    Let k be a field. In this paper, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a noncommutative curve of genus zero over k to be a noncommutative P^1-bundle. This result can be considered a noncommutative, one-dimensional version of Tsen's theorem. By specializing this theorem, we show that every arithmetic noncommutative projective line is a noncommutative curve, and conversely we characterize exactly those noncommutative curves of genus zero which are arithmetic. We then use this characterization, together with results regarding arithmetic noncommutative projective lines, to address some problems posed by D. Kussin.Comment: Error in proof of Lemma 3.8 correcte

    The Grothendieck Group of a Quantum Projective Space Bundle

    Full text link
    We compute the Grothendieck group K_0 of non-commutative analogues of quantum projective space bundles. Our results specialize to give the Grothendieck groups of non-commutative analogues of projective spaces, and specialize to recover the Grothendieck group of a usual projective space bundle over a regular noetherian separated scheme. As an application we develop an intersection theory for the quantum ruled surfaces defined by Van den Bergh.Comment: This paper is being replaced so I can correct the metadata, the title! I (Paul) spelled Grothendieck's name incorrectly. The paper is being reposted with the journal reference and doi added to the metadat
