For the quantum deformation of \(\mathrm{GL}_n\) a realization is given not in terms of generators and relations which, according to Drinfel'd, ``do not give much to heart or imagination'' but in geometric terms of relative positions of pairs of flags in an infinite dimensional space. This infinite case is approximated by finite-dimensional ones via a nontrivial limiting procedure.
