Abstract
We introduce hom-associative Ore extensions as non-unital, nonassociative
Ore extensions with a hom-associative multiplication, and give
some necessary and sucient conditions when such exist. Within this framework,
we construct families of hom-associative quantum planes, universal enveloping
algebras of a Lie algebra, andWeyl algebras, all being hom-associative
generalizations of their classical counterparts, as well as prove that the latter
are simple. We also provide a way of embedding any multiplicative homassociative
algebra into a multiplicative, weakly unital hom-associative algebra,
which we call a weak unitalization.
