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&...

Quantum invariant: The canonical $2$-tensor
In Chapter XVI Kassel introduces a proper definition of a quantum universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. (See definition XVI.5.1). Notice that a quantum enveloping algebra has a ...
