Quantum Weyl algebras and deformations of U(g)

Naihuan Jing and James Zhang

Vol. 171 (1995), No. 2, 437–454
Abstract

We construct new deformations of the universal enveloping algebras from the quantum Weyl algebras for any R-matrix. Our new algebra (in the case of g = sl2) is a noncommutative and noncocommutative bialgebra (i.e. quantum semigroup) with its localization being a Hopf algebra (i.e. quantum group). The ring structure and representation theory of our algebra are studied in the case of sl2.
