Let \(G\) be a semisimple algebraic group over \(\mathbb{C}\) with Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\). Denote by \(U_q({\mathfrak g})\) the quantized enveloping algebra of \({\mathfrak g}\) over \(\mathbb{C}(q)\). Then the corresponding function algebra is the Hopf algebra \(F_q[G]\) consisting of those linear functions on \(U_q({\mathfrak g})\) which have type \textbf{1} weight decomposition and whose kernels contain an ideal of finite codimension. Then it is possible to define a \(\mathbb{C} [q,q^{-1}]\)-form \(R_q[G]\) of \(F_q[G]\). In this paper the authors study the representation theory for the algebras \(F_\varepsilon [G]\) obtained by specializing \(q\) to a complex root of unity \(\varepsilon\) (if \(\varepsilon=1\), one obtains the coordinate ring of \(G\)). Suppose \(w_1,w_2\) are elements of the Weyl group and set (in standard notation) \(X_{w_1,w_2}= U^-w_1 B^-\cap U^+w_2 B^+\). Let \(\widetilde {R}_{w_1,w_2}\) be the restriction of \(F_\varepsilon [G]\) to \(X_{w_1,w_2}\) modulo its nilpotent radical. Then the main results in this paper say that this algebra is an Azumaya algebra (of specific rank) and that its spectrum is a Galois covering of \(X_{w_1,w_2}\) whose Galois group is given. Moreover, the authors discuss the explicit construction of irreducible representations of \(F_\varepsilon [G]\) as tensor products of elementary ones. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00012].
