quantum algebra (Definition)

A quantum algebra over a field $k$ is defined as a triple $(A, \rho, s)$ where $(A, \rho)$ is a Yang-Baxter algebra over the field $k$ and $s: A \to A^{op}$ is an algebra isomorphism, subject to the following two axioms:

  1. (QA.1)

    $\displaystyle \rho^{-1} = (s \otimes 1_A)(\rho)$
  2. (QA.2)

    $\displaystyle \rho = (s \otimes s)(\rho)$

Note also that(QA.1) and(QA.2) imply(QA.3):

(QA.3)

$\displaystyle \rho^{-1} = (1_A \otimes s^{-1})(\rho)$
.

Remark Quasitriangular Hopf algebras are a basic source of quantum algebras.
