Abstract
For any simply-laced GIM Lie algebra L, we present the definition of quantum universal enveloping algebra Uq(L) , and prove that there is a quantum universal enveloping algebra Uq(A) of an associated Kac-Moody algebra A, together with an involution (ℚ-linear) σ, such that Uq(L) is isomorphic to the ℚ(q) -extension S~ q of the σ-involutory subalgebra Sq of Uq(A). This result gives a quantum version of Berman’s work (Berman Comm. Algebra 17, 3165–3185, 1989) in the simply-laced cases. Finally, we describe an automorphism group of Uq(L) consisting of Lusztig symmetries as a braid group.
