A universal R--matrix for the quantum Heisenberg algebra h(1)q is presented. Despite of the non--quasitriangularity of this Hopf algebra, the quantum group induced from it coincides with the quasitriangular deformation already known.
Starting from a Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group G by Hopf automorphisms, we construct (by a twisted double method) a quasitriangular Hopf G-coalgebra. This method allows us to obtain non-trivial examples of quasitriangular…
Given a bialgebra $H$ such that the associated trivial topological bialgebra $H[[\hbar]]$ admits a quasitriangular structure $\tilde{\mathcal{R}}=\mathcal{R}(1\otimes 1+\hbar\chi+\mathcal{O}(\hbar^2))$, one gets a distinguished element…
