## Prime factor algebras of the coordinate ring of quantum matrices.(English)Zbl 0812.16039

Let $${\mathcal O}_ q(M_ n(k))$$ denote the coordinate ring of quantum $$n \times n$$-matrices over a field $$k$$ and suppose that $$q$$ is not a root of unity. The authors show that every prime ideal of this ring is completely prime. Localizing and factoring they deduce the same result for $${\mathcal O}_ q(GL_ n(k))$$ and $${\mathcal O}_ q (SL_ n(k))$$.
The proof uses the fact that $${\mathcal O}_ q(M_ n(k))$$ is an iterated Ore extension and proceeds by analogy with the proof of the corresponding statement for enveloping algebras of solvable Lie algebras. Thus, the authors obtain a $$q$$-analogue of Sigurdsson’s result. Precisely, they are able to bound the Goldie ranks of prime factors of certain skew polynomial rings $$R[y;\tau, \delta]$$. A subtle point is that this latter result is not true without restriction; the authors work with a $$(\tau, \delta)$$ of the type occurring in quantum groups, namely a $$q$$-skew derivation.
