Questions about algebraic structures known as quantum groups, and their categories of representations. Quasitriangular Hopf algebras and their Drinfel'd twists, triangular Hopf algebras, $C^\star$ quantum groups, h-adic quantum groups, various semisimplified categories at roots of unity which are called "quantum groups", bicrossproduct quantum groups, and quantum groups coming from braided tensor categories.

Examples of canonical bases

The complete calculation is done in Lusztig's book (Lemma 42.1.2). Essentially, the condition $b\geq a+c$ comes from the Serre relations; e.g. we have $$E_1E_2E_1=E_1^{(2)}E_2+E_2E_1^{(2)}.$$

Computing in quantum groups

One very effective tool for automated computation in the positive or negative half of a quantum group is the shuffle algebra realization; see Leclerc's paper (and the references therein) for some of t …

Motivations of cross product

It's the Hopf-algebraic version of the semidirect product of groups. To see this, just consider the case you have groups $G, H, G\rtimes H$. The group rings (over, say, a field $k$) are Hopf algebras …

"Quantum Littlewood-Richardson" Rule?

Yes, there certainly is a quantum version of the Littlewood-Richardson decomposition (in the generic parameter case) for types $A,B,C,D$ (I don't know about the exceptional types). The generalized Lit …

Intuition behind the definition of quantum groups

Here is a possible affirmative answer to question (2). (Which is to say, I am not aware of any non-quantum way to answer this question.) I assume from the original post that it is sufficient motivatio …
