4. General Theory 40<br />

There are two <strong>di</strong>fferent can<strong>di</strong>dates for UA the non restricted and the restricted<br />

integral form, which lead to <strong>di</strong>fferent specializations (with markedly<br />

<strong>di</strong>fferent representation theories) for certain values <strong>of</strong> ǫ. We are interested<br />

in the non restricted form. For more details one can see [CP95].<br />

Introduce the elements<br />

with m ≥ 0, where qi = q <strong>di</strong> .<br />

[Ki; m] qi = Kiq m i<br />

Definition 4.2.2. The algebra UA is the A subalgebra <strong>of</strong> U generated by<br />

the elements Ei, Fi, K ±1<br />

i and Li = [Ki; 0] , for i = 1, . . .,n. With the map<br />

qi<br />

∆, S and η defined on the first set <strong>of</strong> generators as in 4.1.2 and with<br />

∆(Li) = Li ⊗ Ki + K −1<br />

i ⊗ Li (4.10a)<br />

S(Li) = −Li<br />

(4.10b)<br />

η(Li) = 0 (4.10c)<br />

Note. The defining relation <strong>of</strong> UA are as in 4.1.1 replacing 4.3 by<br />

and ad<strong>di</strong>ng the relation<br />

EiFj − FjEi = δijLi<br />

(qi − q −1<br />

i )Li = Ki − K −1<br />

Proposition 4.2.3. UA with the previous definition is a Hopf algebra. Moreover,<br />

UA is an integral form <strong>of</strong> U.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. See [CP95] or [DCP93] §12.<br />

Proposition 4.2.4. If ǫ 2<strong>di</strong> = 1 for all i, then<br />

(i) Uǫ is generated over C by the elements Ei, Fi, and K ±1<br />

i with defining<br />

relations obtained from those in 4.1.1 by replacing q by ǫ<br />

(ii) The monomials<br />

are a C basis <strong>of</strong> Uǫ.<br />
