A QuantumSl2 k A structure bundles the quantum group U_q(sl_2) data on a
k-Hopf algebra A: a parameter q ≠ 0 with q^2 ≠ 1, generators K, E, F
and an inverse Kinv of K, the standard Drinfeld–Jimbo relations
KEK^{-1} = q^2 E, KFK^{-1} = q^{-2} F, [E, F] = (K - K^{-1})/(q - q^{-1}),
and the standard formulas for the comultiplication, counit and antipode on the
generators.

Instances
Reference abbreviation for Definition 1.25.1: the quantum group U_q(sl_2).
Instances For
The comultiplication of K^{-1} equals K^{-1} ⊗ K^{-1}.
The counit of K^{-1} equals 1.
The antipode of K^{-1} equals K.
The Cartan-type element (q - q^{-1})^{-1} · (K - K^{-1}) of the quantum group.
Instances For
Theorem 1.25.2 (Etingof–Gelaki–Nikshych–Ostrik): There exists a unique Hopf
algebra structure on U_q(sl_2) given by Δ(K) = K ⊗ K, Δ(E) = E ⊗ K + 1 ⊗ E,
Δ(F) = F ⊗ 1 + K^{-1} ⊗ F. This theorem records the explicit values of
comultiplication, counit, and antipode on K, K^{-1}, E, F.
