Abstract

The C^*-algebra of continuous functions on the quantum quaternion sphere Hq2n can be identified with the quotient algebra C(SPq(2n)/SPq(2n-2)). In commutative case i.e. for q=1, the topological space SP(2n)/SP(2n-2) is homeomorphic to the odd dimensional sphere S4n-1. In this paper, we prove the noncommutative analogue of this result. Using homogeneous C^*-extension theory, we prove that the C^*-algebra C(Hq2n) is isomorphic to the C^*-algebra C(Sq4n-1). This further implies that for different values of q ∈ [0,1), the C^*-algebras underlying the noncommutative space Hq2n are isomorphic.
