The aim of this paper is to explain the bialgebra structure of the positive part of the quantized universal enveloping algebra (Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group) of type Anusing the Lie algebra theory concepts. Recently has been introduced a generalization of Lie algebras, the basic T -Lie algebras [1]. Using the T -Lie algebra concept some new (we think) quantum groups of type Ancan be constructed...

We introduce and study continuous fields of JB-algebras (which are real non-associate analogues of C*-algebras). In particular, we show that for the universal enveloping C*-algebra C∗ u (B) for the JB-algebra B defined by a continuous field of JB-algebras At, t ∈ T, on a locally compact space T there exists a decomposition of C∗ u (B) into a continuous field of C*-algebras C∗ u (At), t ∈ T, on ...

We investigate commutator operations on compatible uniformities. We define a commutator operation for uniformities in the congruence-modular case which extends the commutator on congruences, and explore its properties. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to generalize the commutator of congruences to a commutator of compatible uniformities. Commutator theory (on congruences) works best fo...

Two different notions of universal, one due to Hedrlín and Pultr in the 1960s and the other due to Sapir in the 1980s, are discussed, as well as the relationship between them. Some of the historical perspective and mathematical motivation lying behind them is also included, together with a brief overview of a variety meriting further investigation in this context.
