Abstract
We introduce a natural (Fréchet-Hopf) algebra A containing all generic Jimbo algebras U t (sl(2)) (as dense subalgebras). The Hopf structures on A extend (in a continuous way) the Hopf structures of generic U t (sl(2)). The Universal R-matrices converge in A \(\hat \otimes \) A. Using the (topological) dual of A, we recover the formalism of functions of noncommutative arguments. In addition, we show that all these Hopf structures on A are isomorphic (as bialgebras), and rigid in the category of bialgebras.
