Koszul property was generalized to homogeneous algebras of degree N > 2 in [5], and related to N -complexes in [7]. We show that if the N -homogeneous algebra A is generalized Koszul, AS-Gorenstein and of finite global dimension, then one can apply the Van den Bergh duality theorem [23] to A, i.e., there is a Poincaré duality between Hochschild homology and cohomology of A, as for N = 2.

Recently, Bocklandt proved a conjecture by Van den Bergh in its graded version, stating that a graded quiver algebra (with relations) which is Calabi-Yau of dimension 3 is defined from a homogeneous potential W. In this paper, we prove that if we add to W any potential of smaller degree, we get a Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt deformation of A. Such PBW deformations are Calabi-Yau and are characterised among all the PBW deformations of A. Various examples are presented.

Various concepts associated with quadratic algebras admit natural generalizations when the quadratic algebras are replaced by graded algebras which are finitely generated in degree 1 with homogeneous relations of degree N. Such algebras are referred to as homogeneous algebras of degree N. In particular, it is shown that the Koszul complexes of quadratic algebras generalize as N-complexes for homogeneous algebras of degree N
