Real forms of \({\mathcal U}_ q({\mathfrak g})\) (Q1194354)

The author considers the real forms of quantum groups associated to generalized Cartan matrices. He first determines the general form of all Hopf algebra automorphisms and of all real forms of the quantum group \(U_ q({\mathfrak g})\). Secondly, he establishes a correspondence of these real forms when the quantum group is associated to a complex simple Lie algebra with objects associated to the real forms of the classical object.
