A vector space basis of the quantum symplectic sphere

Abstract

We present a candidate of a vector space basis for the algebra $\mathcal{O}(S_q^{4n-1})$ of the quantum symplectic sphere for every $n\geq 1$. The algebra $\mathcal{O}(S_q^{4n-1})$ is defined as a certain subalgebra of the quantum symplectic group $\mathcal{O}(SP_q(2n))$. A non-trivial application of the Diamond Lemma is used to construct the vector space basis and the conjecture is supported by computer experiments for $n=1,2,...,8$.
