Abstract

For a certain class of Lie bialgebras (A,A)(A,A^*) the corresponding quantum universal enveloping algebras Uq(A)U_q(A) are prooved to be equivalent to quantum groups Funq(F)_q(F^*), FF^* being the factor group for the dual group GG^*. This property can be used to simplify the process of quantization. The described class appears to be wide enough to contain all the standard quantizations of infinite series. The properties of the groups FF^* are explicitly demonstrated for the standard deformations Uq(SL(n))U_q(SL(n)). It is shown that for different AA^* (remaining in the described class of Lie bialgebras) the same algorithm leads to the nonstandard quantizations.
