Introduction to Quantum Lie Algebras

Abstract

Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras whose structure constants are power series in hh. They are derived from the quantized enveloping algebras \uqg\uqg. The quantum Lie bracket satisfies a generalization of antisymmetry. Representations of quantum Lie algebras are defined in terms of a generalized commutator. In this paper the recent general results about quantum Lie algebras are introduced with the help of the explicit example of (sl2)h(sl_2)_h.
