We define a new kind quantized enveloping algebra of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra G by adding a new generator J satisfying J m = J for some integer m. We denote this algebra by wUThis algebra is a weak Hopf algebra if and only if m = 2, 3. In general, it is a bialgebra, and contains a Hopf subalgebra. This Hopf subalgebra is isomorphic to the usually quantum envelope algebra Uq(G) of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra G.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
