<p>Let $A$ be an algebra over an algebraically closed field $k.$ Recall that if $A$ is a finitely generated module over its center, and if its center is a finitely generated algebra over $k,$ then by the Schur's lemma all simple $A$-modules are finite dimensional over $k.$ </p> <p>Motivated by the above, I would like an example of a $k$-algebra $A,$ such that:</p> <p>1) $A$ has a simple module of infinitie dimension over $k,$ </p> <p>2) $A$ contains a commutative finitely generated subalgebra over which $A$ is a finitely generated left and right module. </p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Doc, this is a stinker. Your condition (2) forces your algebra to be finitely generated PI, and every little hare knows that simple modules over such algebras are finite-dimensional. See 13.4.9 and 13.10.3 of McConnell-Robson...</p>
