Abstract English In the present article we continue investigating the algebraic dependence of commuting<br> elements in q-deformed Heisenberg algebras. We provide a simple proof that the<br> 0-chain subalgebra is a maximal commutative subalgebra when q is of free type and that<br> it coincides with the centralizer (commutant) of any one of its elements dierent from<br> the scalar multiples of the unity. We review the Burchnall-Chaundy-type construction for<br> proving algebraic dependence and obtaining corresponding algebraic curves for commuting<br> elements in the q-deformed Heisenberg algebra by computing a certain determinant<br> with entries depending on two commuting variables and one of the generators. The coe<br> cients in front of the powers of the generator in the expansion of the determinant are<br> polynomials in the two variables dening some algebraic curves and annihilating the two<br> commuting elements. We show that for the elements from the 0-chain subalgebra exactly<br> one algebraic curve arises in the expansion of the determinant. Finally, we present several<br> examples of computation of such algebraic curves and also make some observations on<br> the properties of these curves.
