Does the quantum subgroup of quantum su_2 called E_8 have anything at all to do with the Lie algebra E_8?
The ordinary McKay correspondence relates the subgroups of SU(2) to the affine ADE Dynkin diagrams. The correspondence is that the vertices correspond to irreducible representations of the subgroup, ...

Can one define quantized universal enveloping algebras in a basis-free way?
(For the background, I am learning about quantum groups — essentially in order to understand crystal/global/canonical bases in the context of this question — from the books by Jantzen and by Hong&...

Does there exist any "quantum Lie algebra" embeded into the quantum enveloping algebra U_q(g)?
We have known that any finite dim Lie algebra can be embeded into it's enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$, my question is: is there any "quantum Lie algebra" embeded into the quantum enveloping ...
