Abstract: We define some new algebraic structures, termed coloured Hopf algebras, by combining the coalgebra structures and antipodes of a standard Hopf algebra set calH, corresponding to some parameter set calQ, with the transformations of an algebra isomorphism group calG, herein called colour group. Such transformations are labelled by some colour parameters, taking values in a colour set calC. We show that various classes of Hopf algebras, such as almost cocommutative, coboundary, quasitriangular, and triangular ones, can be extended into corresponding coloured algebraic structures, and that coloured quasitriangular Hopf algebras, in particular, are characterized by the existence of a coloured universal calR-matrix, satisfying the coloured Yang-Baxter equation. The present definitions extend those previously introduced by Ohtsuki, which correspond to some substructures in those cases where the colour group is abelian. We apply the new concepts to construct coloured quantum universal enveloping algebras of both semisimple and nonsemisimple Lie algebras, considering several examples with fixed or varying parameters. As a by-product, some of the matrix representations of coloured universal calR-matrices, derived in the present paper, provide new solutions of the coloured Yang-Baxter equation, which might be of interest in the context of integrable models.
