Let U+ q denote the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra Uq(ŝl2). The algebra U+ q has a presentation involving two generators W0, W1 and two relations, called the q-Serre relations. In 1993 I. Damiani obtained a PBW basis for U+ q , consisting of some elements {Enδ+α0} ∞ n=0, {Enδ+α1} ∞ n=0, {Enδ} ∞ n=1. In 2019 we introduced the alternating central extension U+ q of U + q . We defined U + q by generators and relations. The generators, said to be alternating, are denoted {W−k} ∞ k…

### A compact presentation for the alternating central extension of the positive part of Uq(sl^2)

This paper concerns the positive part U q + of the quantum group U q ( sl ^ 2 ) . The algebra U q + has a presentation involving two generators that satisfy the cubic q -Serre relations. We recently

### The alternating PBW basis for the positive part of Uq(sl^2)

The positive part Uq+ of Uq(sl^2) has a presentation with two generators A, B that satisfy the cubic q-Serre relations. We introduce a PBW basis for Uq+, said to be alternating. Each element of this

Abstract. Let Uq+ be the “upper triangular part” of the quantized enveloping algebra associated with a symetrizable Cartan matrix. We show that Uq+ is isomorphic (as a Hopf algebra) to the subalgebra
