The quantized enveloping algebra of sl₂ #
This file defines the algebra UqSl2 q by generators E, F, K, and K⁻¹ and relations
K K⁻¹ = K⁻¹ K = 1,K E = q² E KandK F = q⁻² F K, andE F - F E = (K - K⁻¹) / (q - q⁻¹).
The quotient is defined for every complex q. The generic representation theory uses parameters
for which q ≠ 0 and no positive power of q is one; in particular its displayed denominator is
nonzero. The presentation-level identities below hold for every q; when q = 0, the
relations force E = F = 0.
The quotient construction supplies a universal property for tuples satisfying these relations.
Since the generators generate the algebra, a property of elements holding for the scalars and the
generators and closed under sums and products holds everywhere (TauCeti.UqSl2.induction). A
complex-linear map between UqSl2 q-modules that commutes with E, F and K is therefore
UqSl2 q-linear, and an element of UqSl2 q that commutes with E, F and K is central. We
also package K as a unit and derive the commutation rules with K⁻¹ and with K on the
right, together with the invariance K F E K⁻¹ = F E; these are the basic presentation-level
identities used when putting words into triangular order. Establishing a PBW basis, and hence
nontriviality of this presentation, requires additional Ore-extension arguments and is not part
of the presentation API: TauCeti.QuantumGroups.UqSl2.OreTower identifies UqSl2 q, for nonzero
q, with an iterated Ore extension of ℂ[K, K⁻¹].
