Zariski Cancellation Problem for Noncommutative Algebras

Abstract

A noncommutative analogue of the Zariski cancellation problem asks whether $A[x]\cong B[x]$ implies $A\cong B$ when $A$ and $B$ are noncommutative algebras. We resolve this affirmatively in the case when $A$ is a noncommutative finitely generated domain over the complex field of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two. In addition, we resolve the Zariski cancellation problem for several classes of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of higher Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.
