Beschreibung
This is an introduction to the mathematics behind the phrase “quantum Lie algebra”. The numerous attempts over the last 15-20 years to define a quantum Lie algebra as an elegant algebraic object with a binary “quantum” Lie bracket have not been widely accepted. In this book, an alternative approach is developed that includes multivariable operations. Among the problems discussed are the following: a PBW-type theorem; quantum deformations of Kac--Moody algebras; generic and symmetric quantum Lie operations; the Nichols algebras; the Gurevich--Manin Lie algebras; and Shestakov--Umirbaev operations for the Lie theory of nonassociative products. Opening with an introduction for beginners and continuing as a textbook for graduate students in physics and mathematics, the book can also be used as a reference by more advanced readers. With the exception of the introductory chapter, the content of this monograph has not previously appeared in book form.

“The contents of the chapters 2-8 are mostly based on papers of the author and are here presented as a unified, self-contained whole with the first chapter containing the necessary preliminaries, making the exposition more accessible to a broader audience. … Each chapter ends with detailed notes providing pointers to literature and some open questions related to the presented material are discussed as well.” (Isar Rober Goyvaerts, zbMATH 1337.17001, 2016)
