Abstract

Let K\mathbb K be a field and suppose p,qKp, q\in\mathbb K^* are not roots of unity. We prove that the two quantum groups Uq(sln+1)U_q(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}) and Up(sln+1)U_p(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}) are isomorphic as K\mathbb K-algebras implies that p=±q±1p=\pm q^{\pm 1} when nn is even. This new result answers a classical question of Jimbo.
