Given an algebra R and G a finite group of automorphisms of R, there is a natural map $\eta _{R,G}:R\#G \to \mathrm {End}_{R^G} R$ , called the Auslander map. A theorem of Auslander shows that $\eta _{R,G}$ is an isomorphism when $R=\mathbb {C}[V]$ and G is a finite group acting linearly and without reflections on the finite-dimensional vector space V. The work of Mori–Ueyama and Bao–He–Zhang has encouraged the study of this theorem in the context of Artin–Schelter regular algebras. We initiate a study of Auslander’s result in the setting of nonconnected graded Calabi–Yau algebras. When R is a preprojective algebra of type A and G is a finite subgroup of $D_n$ acting on R by automorphism, our main result shows that $\eta _{R,G}$ is an isomorphism if and only if G does not contain all of the reflections through a vertex.

For a three-dimensional quantum polynomial algebra $A=\mathcal {A}(E,\sigma )$ , Artin, Tate, and Van den Bergh showed that A is finite over its center if and only if $|\sigma |<\infty $ . Moreover, Artin showed that if A is finite over its center and $E\neq \mathbb P^{2}$ , then A has a fat point module, which plays an important role in noncommutative algebraic geometry; however, the converse is not true in general. In this paper, we will show that if $E\neq \mathbb P^{2}$ , then A has a fat point module if and only if the quantum projective plane ${\sf Proj}_{\text {nc}} A$ is finite over its center in the sense of this paper if and only if $|\nu ^{*}\sigma ^{3}|<\infty $ where $\nu $ is the Nakayama automorphism of A. In particular, we will show that if the second Hessian of E is zero, then A has no fat point module.

In noncommutative algebraic geometry an Artin–Schelter regular (AS-regular) algebra is one of the main interests, and every three-dimensional quadratic AS-regular algebra is a geometric algebra, introduced by Mori, whose point scheme is either $\mathbb {P}^{2}$ or a cubic curve in $\mathbb {P}^{2}$ by Artin et al. [‘Some algebras associated to automorphisms of elliptic curves’, in: The Grothendieck Festschrift, Vol. 1, Progress in Mathematics, 86 (Birkhäuser, Basel, 1990), 33–85]. In the preceding paper by the authors Itaba and Matsuno [‘Defining relations of 3-dimensional quadratic AS-regular algebras’, Math. J. Okayama Univ. 63 (2021), 61–86], we determined all possible defining relations for these geometric algebras. However, we did not check their AS-regularity. In this paper, by using twisted superpotentials and twists of superpotentials in the Mori–Smith sense, we check the AS-regularity of geometric algebras whose point schemes are not elliptic curves. For geometric algebras whose point schemes are elliptic curves, we give a simple condition for three-dimensional quadratic AS-regular algebras. As an application, we show that every three-dimensional quadratic AS-regular algebra is graded Morita equivalent to a Calabi–Yau AS-regular algebra.
