On representations of quantum groups
arXiv:math/0610895
Abstract
We construct families of irreducible representations for a class of quantum groups . First, we realize these quantum groups as Hyperbolic algebras. Such a realization yields natural families of irreducible weight representations for . Second, we study the relationship between and . As a result, any finite dimensional weight representation of is proved to be completely reducible. Finally, we study the Whittaker model for the center of , and a classification of all irreducible Whittaker representations of is obtained.
