Freidel-Maillet type presentations of $U_q(s{l}_2)$

Abstract

A unified framework for the Chevalley and equitable presentation of $U_q(s{l}_2)$ is introduced. It is given in terms of a system of Freidel-Maillet type equations satisfied by a pair of quantum K-operators ${\mathcal{K}}^{\pm }$, whose entries are expressed in terms of either Chevalley or equitable generators. The Hopf algebra structure is reconsidered in light of this unified framework, and interwining relations for each pair of ${\mathcal{K}}^{\pm }$ are obtained. A K-operator solving a spectral parameter dependent Freidel-Maillet type equation is also considered. Different specializations of this K-operator are shown to admit a decomposition in terms of ${\mathcal{K}}^{\pm }$ of Chevalley or equitable type. Explicit examples of K-matrices without/with spectral parameter are derived by specializing the K-operators previously obtained.
