Normal extensions of twisted graded Calabi--Yau algebras

Abstract

We discuss three families of twisted graded Calabi--Yau algebras of dimension three that arise through the process of normal extensions. In addition to the twisted Calabi--Yau condition, we prove that these algebras are noetherian piecewise domains under a non-degeneracy condition. We show that these algebras can also be constructed as certain iterated skew polynomial rings. Finally, we discuss how these algebras shed light on possible types of twisted graded Calabi--Yau algebras of dimension four.
