The R-matrix presentation for the rational form of a quantized enveloping algebra

Abstract: Let

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

denote the rational form of the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a complex simple Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

. Let

l a m b d a

be a nonzero dominant integral weight of

m a t h f r a k g

, and let

V

be the corresponding type

1

finite-dimensional irreducible representation of

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

. Starting from this data, the

R

-matrix formalism for quantum groups outputs a Hopf algebra

m a t h b f U_{m} a t h r m R^{l} a m b d a (m a t h f r a k g)

defined in terms of a pair of generating matrices satisfying well-known quadratic matrix relations. In this paper, we prove that this Hopf algebra admits a Chevalley-Serre type presentation which can be recovered from that of

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

by adding a single invertible quantum Cartan element. We simultaneously establish that

m a t h b f U_{m} a t h r m R^{l} a m b d a (m a t h f r a k g)

can be realized as a Hopf subalgebra of the tensor product of the space of Laurent polynomials in a single variable with the quantized enveloping algebra associated to the lattice generated by the weights of

V

. The proofs of these results are based on a detailed analysis of the homogeneous components of the matrix equations and generating matrices defining

m a t h b f U_{m} a t h r m R^{l} a m b d a (m a t h f r a k g)

, with respect to a natural grading by the root lattice of

m a t h f r a k g

compatible with the weight space decomposition of

m a t h r m E n d (V)

.
