An analogue of P.B.W. theorem and the universal R-matrix for \(U_ h\mathfrak{sl}(N+1)\) (Q909007)

For the ``quantum'' deformation of \(\mathfrak{sl}(n;{\mathbb C})\) the universal R-matrix, the measure of noncocommutativity of \(U_ h(\mathfrak{sl}(n;{\mathbb C}))\), is explicitly calculated. For this the basis of the quantum deformation \(U_ h(\mathfrak{sl}(n;{\mathbb C}))\) of the enveloping algebra -- the P.B.W. theorem -- is formulated. Remark. The answer for the R-matrix might only by accident be true for \(h\) such that \(h^ 8=1\): in this case the P.B.W. theorem reads differently [cf. \textit{H. Yamane}, Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 25, No. 3, 503--520 (1989; Zbl 0694.17007)].
