A criterion for homogeneous potentials to be 3-Calabi-Yau

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an N-Koszul algebra defined by a homogeneous potential, to be 3-Calabi-Yau. As an application, we recover two families of 3-Calabi-Yau algebras recently appeared in the literature, by studying skew polynomial algebras over non-commutative quadrics.
