Abstract

Let $R$ be the associative $k$ -algebra generated by two elements $x$ and $y$ with defining relation $y x = 1$ . A complete description of simple modules over $R$ is obtained by using the results of Irving and Gerritzen. We examine the short exact sequence $0 \to U \to E \to V \to 0$ , where $U$ and $V$ are simple $R$ -modules. It shows that nonsplit extension only occurs when both $U$ and $V$ are one-dimensional, or, under certain condition, $U$ is infinite-dimensional and $V$ is one-dimensional.
