Abstract
This Letter examines the question of the structure of the Hopf algebra deformations of the universal enveloping algebras of the simple Lie algebras. Deformations of a complex algebra A are viewed as algebras defined over formal power series rings that specialize to A when the parameters go to 0. Only the case of U(sl(2,C)) is treated but the methods are general. Under the Ansatz that the two Borel subalgebras are deformed as Hopf algebras but possibly differently, we construct a universal two-parameter deformation.
