AbstractLet g be a semisimple Lie algebra. Quantum analogs of the enveloping algebra of the fixed Lie subalgebra are introduced for involutions corresponding to the negative of a diagram automorphism. These subalgebras of the quantized enveloping algebra specialize to their classical counterparts. They are used to form an Iwasawa type decompostition and begin a study of quantum Harish-Chandra modules.

AbstractLet be the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra . Using results of Alev–Dumas and Caldero related to the center of , we show that this algebra is free over its center. This is reminiscent of Kostant's separation of variables for the enveloping algebra U(g) of a complex semisimple Lie algebra g, and also of an analogous result of Joseph–Letzter for the quantum algebra Ŭq(g). Of greater importance to its representation theory is the fact that is free over a larger polynomial subalgebra N in n variables. Induction from N to provides infinite-dimensional modules with good properties, including a grading that is inherited by submodules.

AbstractThe paper describes an algorithm to compute the canonical basis of an irreducible module over a quantized enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra. The algorithm works for any module that is constructed as a submodule of a tensor product of modules with known canonical bases.

Let D be the factor of the enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra by its minimal primitive ideal with trival central character. We give a geometric description of the Chern character ch: K0(D)→HC0(D) and the state (of the maximal ideal m) s: K0(D)→K0(D/m) = ℤ in terms of the Euler characteristic χ:K0()→ℤ, where is the associated flag variety.

Let U be the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a simple Lie algebra g by Drinfel'd and Jimbo. Let λ be a classical fundamental weight for g, and ⋯(λ) the irreducible, finite-dimensional type 1 highest weight U-module with highest weight λ. We show that the canonical basis for ⋯(λ) (see Kashiwara [6, §0] and Lusztig [18, 14.4.12]) and the standard monomial basis (see [11, §§2.4 and 2.5]) for ⋯(λ) coincide.
