Abstract

Let g \mathfrak{g} be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra over the field K K \, , and let Uq(g) U_q(\mathfrak{g}) be the associated quantum enveloping algebra; let Uq(g) \mathfrak{U}_q(g) be the Lusztig's integer form of Uq(g) U_q(\mathfrak{g}) \, , generated by q q -divided powers of Chevalley generators over a suitable subring R R of K(q) K(q) \, . We prove a Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt like theorem for Uq(g) \mathfrak{U}_q(\mathfrak{g}) \, , yielding a basis over R R made of ordered products of q q -divided powers of suitable quantum root vectors.
