      Let \(\mathfrak{g}\) be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over the field of complex numbers, \(\varepsilon\) a primitive \(l\)-th root of unity, and \(U_{\varepsilon}(\mathfrak{g})\) the corresponding quantum algebra. The author constructs finite-dimensional irreducible nilpotent \(U_{\varepsilon}(\mathfrak{g})\)-modules of type 1 inductively by using the Schnizer homomorphisms introduced in [\textit{W. A. Schnizer}, Commun. Math. Phys. 163, 293--306 (1994; Zbl 0811.17006)] when \(\mathfrak{g}\) is of type \(A_n\), \(B_n\), \(C_n\), \(D_n,\) or \(G_2.\) The classification of these modules has been given by \textit{G. Lusztig} [Contemp. Math. 82, 59--77 (1989; Zbl 0665.20022)]. A complete classification of finite-dimensional irreducible \(U_{\varepsilon}(\mathfrak{g})\)-modules is still open.
