Examples of noncommutative analogs outside operator algebras?

There is a notion of non-commutative resolution of a singularity (in the sense of commutative algebraic geometry). See section 5 of this ICM talk by Bondal and Orlov. The following is a simple exa …

What about $R = \mathbb R[x,y,z]/\langle x^2+y^2+z^2-1\rangle$ and $M$ the projective module corresponding to the tangent bundle? This seems to satisfy your criteria except probably for factorialness …

Is there a poset with 0 with countable automorphism group?

It seems unlikely (once you assume d.c.c.). Define the height of an element $x$ in $P$ to be the length of the shortest unrefinable chain from $x$ to $0$. Let $P_n$ denote the elements of $P$ whos …

What's an illustrative example of a tame algebra?

For the Kronecker quiver (two vertices, two arrows in the same direction) and dimension vector (1,1), over an algebraically closed ground field, the indecomposables are naturally parameterized by poin …
