On the quantum flag manifold (Q1324685)

A definition of the algebra \(C_ \lambda\) of functions on the quantum (projective) flag manifold is given; \(C_ \lambda\) is the algebra generated by matrix elements \(\langle v, v_ 0 \rangle\in \text{Fun}_ q (G)\) where \(v_ 0\) is a highest weight vector of weight \(\lambda\) for a representation \(U_ \lambda\) of the quantum algebra \(U_ q (g)\), \(v\in V^*_ \lambda\). In an analogous manner the algebra of functions on the quantum Schubert cell \(X_ \omega\) is defined. The algebra \(C_ \lambda\) is realized explicitly as the vector space equipped with Cartan multiplication (defined by a projection of the tensor product of representations to the highest weight component). It is proved that the generators of \(C_ \lambda\) satisfy quadratic relations which are \(q\)- analogs of Plücker relations.
