Shapovalov Elements For $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(N+1))

For a simple Lie algebra, Shapovalov elements give rise to highest weight vectors in Verma modules. The usual construction of these elements uses induction on the length of a certain Weyl group element. If $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{sl}(N+1)$ explicit expressions for Shapovalov elements were given in [Mus22a]. Here we adapt the argument to the quantized enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$.
