Introduction to Quantum Groups by George LusztigEnglish | PDF | 2010 (Reprint of the 1994 Edition) | 361 Pages | ISBN : 0817637125 | 21.2 MB
The quantum groups discussed in this book are the quantized enveloping algebras introduced by Drinfeld and Jimbo in 1985, or variations thereof. It is shown that these algebras have natural integral forms that can be specialized at roots of 1 and yield new objects, which include quantum versions of the semi-simple groups over fields of positive characteristic.
