We complete the classification of quantum subgroups of $SL_q(2)$ with $q$ a root of unity of arbitrary order, that is, Hopf algebra quotients of the quantum function algebras $\mathcal{O}_{q} (SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$.

We realize the Hopf algebra $U_q({\mathfrak {sp}}_{2n})$ as an algebra of quantum differential operators on the quantum symplectic space $\mathcal{X}(f_s;\mathrm{R})$ and prove that $\mathcal{X}(f_s;\mathrm{R})$ is a…

We define the Hopf algebra structure on the Grothendieck group of finite-dimensional polynomial representations of $U_q \hat{gl}_N$ in the limit $N \to \infty$. The resulting Hopf algebra $Rep U_q \hat{gl}_\infty$ is a tensor product of its…

Invertible universal R-matrices of quantum Lie algebras do not exist at roots of unity. There exist however quotients for which intertwiners of tensor products of representations always exist, i.e. R-matrices exist in the representations.…

An important property of a Hopf algebra is its quasitriangularity and it is useful various applications. This property is investigated for quantum groups $sl_2$ at roots of 1. It is shown that different forms of the quantum group $sl_2$ at…

We consider the quantum algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ with $q$ not a root of unity. We describe the finite-dimensional irreducible $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-modules from the point of view of the equitable presentation.

We study the nonstandard $q$-deformation $U'_q({\rm so}_4)$ of the universal enveloping algebra $U({\rm so}_4)$ obtained by deforming the defining relations for skew-symmetric generators of $U({\rm so}_4)$. This algebra is used in quantum…

We classify right coideal subalgebras of the finite-dimensional quotient of the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and that of the quantized coordinate algebra $\mathcal{O}_q(SL_2)$ at a root of unity $q$ of odd order. All…

We define an algebra $\mathcal{U}_0$ using a simplified set of generators for the quantum toroidal algebra $U_q(sl_{n+1}, tor)$ and show that there exists an epimorphism from $\mathcal{U}_0$ to $U_q(sl_{n+1}, tor)$. We derive a closed…

The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of…

Let $k_q[x, x^{-1}, y]$ be the localization of the quantum plane $k_q[x, y]$ over a field $k$, where $0\neq q\in k$. Then $k_q[x, x^{-1}, y]$ is a graded Hopf algebra, which can be regarded as the non-negative part of the quantum enveloping…

Using a complex deformation q=exp(is) of su(2) we obtain extensions of the finite-dimensional representations towards the infinite-dimensional ones. A generalised q-deformation of su(2), as a Hopf algebra is introduced. We present the…

The general method of Reshetikhin and Turaev is followed to develop topological invariants of closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds from a new class of algebras called pseudo-modular Hopf algebras. Pseudo-modular Hopf algebras are a…
