Abstract

AbstractLet be the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra . Using results of Alev–Dumas and Caldero related to the center of , we show that this algebra is free over its center. This is reminiscent of Kostant's separation of variables for the enveloping algebra U(g) of a complex semisimple Lie algebra g, and also of an analogous result of Joseph–Letzter for the quantum algebra Ŭq(g). Of greater importance to its representation theory is the fact that is free over a larger polynomial subalgebra N in n variables. Induction from N to provides infinite-dimensional modules with good properties, including a grading that is inherited by submodules.
