Basics for Quantum Groups

Abstract

It seems appropriate to begin with quantum groups and we extract liberally from [145, 371, 400, 456, 618]. Somewhat more detail is exhibited in calculations at the begining in order to become acquainted with the notation and typical computations (there is no attempt at completeness). Further embellishment can be found in e.g. [61, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 302, 376, 457, 458, 459, 460, 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 523, 476, 477, 478, 479] as well as recent work in noncommutative algebraic geometry (cf. [556, 591]).
