Quantum Groups: An Introduction and Survey for Ring Theorists

  • Conference paper
Noncommutative Rings

Part of the book series: Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Publications ((MSRI,volume 24))

Abstract

This article describes recent work on new classes of non-commutative algebras which have been dubbed quantum algebras, quantum groups, and quantized enveloping algebras. The basic ring theoretic properties are described, and a number of questions and problems are raised.
