We compute the global dimension of the twisted rings of global differential operators D λ on complex projective n ‐space. As λ varies through the complex numbers, this global dimension takes on the values n , 2 n and infinity. We also study the embedding of D λ in the Weyl algebra A n in the cases when the global dimension is infinite. In these cases, we see that the flat dimension of A n as a D λ ‐module is infinite as well.
