Quantum groups and representations with highest weight
Abstract
We consider a special category of Hopf algebras, depending on parameters which possess properties similar to the category of representations of simple Lie group with highest weight . We connect quantum groups to minimal objects in this categories---they correspond to irreducible representations in the category of representations with highest weight . Moreover, we want to correspond quantum groups only to finite dimensional irreducible representations. This gives us a condition for : --- is dominant means the minimal object in the category of representations with highest weight is finite dimensional. We put similar condition for . We call dominant if the minimal object in corresponding category has polynomial growth. Now we propose to define quantum groups starting from dominant parameters .
