Abstract

For any finite-dimensional Lie bialgebra g, we construct a bialgebra Au,v(g) over the ring C[u][[v]], which quantizes simultaneously the universal enveloping bialgebra U(g), the bialgebra dual to U(g), and the symmetric bialgebra S(g). Following Turaev, we call Au,v(g) a biquantization of S(g). We show that the bialgebra Au,v(g) quantizing U(g), U(g), and S(g) is essentially dual to the bialgebra obtained from Au,v(g) by exchanging u and v. Thus, Au,v(g) contains all information about the quantization of g. Our construction extends Etingof and Kazhdan’s one-variable quantization of U(g).

For any finite-dimensional Lie bialgebra g, we construct a bialgebra Au,v(g) over the ring C[u][[v]], which quantizes simultaneously the universal enveloping bialgebra U(g), the bialgebra dual to U(g*), and the symmetric bialgebra S(g). Following Turaev, we call Au,v(g) a biquantization of S(g). We show that the bialgebra Au,v(g*) quantizing U(g*), U(g)*, and S(g*) is essentially dual to the bialgebra obtained from Au,v(g) by exchanging u and v. Thus, Au,v(g) contains all information about the quantization of g. Our construction extends Etingof and Kazhdan’s one-variable quantization of U(g).
