Summary: A class of algebras that generalizes Weyl algebras is introduced. For one variety of such algebras the simple (i.e. irreducible) modules are classified and the two-sided ideals are described. The Krull dimension and the global dimension are computed for certain classes of algebras. It is proved that the $$\text{Ext}^ n$$’s and $$\text{Tor}_ n$$’s of simple modules are finite-dimensional. Maximal commutative subalgebras are examined.
