Quantum groups of semisimple Lie algebras at roots of unity admit several different forms. Among them is the De Concini-Kac form, which is the easiest to define but, perhaps, hardest to study. In this paper, we propose a suitable…

Let g be a complex simple Lie algebra of type B_2 and q be a non-zero complex number which is not a root of unity. In the classical case, a theorem of Dixmier asserts that the simple factor algebras of the positive part U^+(g) of the…

Quantum groups at roots of unity have the property that their centre is enlarged. Polynomial equations relate the standard deformed Casimir operators and the new central elements. These relations are important from a physical point of view…
