The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the results about classification of quantum groups that were obtained in arXiv:1303.4046 [math.QA] and arXiv:1502.00403 [math.QA].
In this paper we continue to study Belavin-Drinfeld cohomology introduced in arXiv:1303.4046 [math.QA] and related to the classification of quantum groups whose quasi-classical limit is a given simple complex Lie algebra. Here we compute Belavin-Drinfeld cohomology for all non-skewsymmetric $r$-matrices from the Belavin-Drinfeld list for simple Lie algebras of type $B$, $C$, and $D$.
Given an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic 0, we study Lie bialgebra structures on $sl(n,\mathbb{F})$, based on the description of the corresponding classical double. For any Lie bialgebra structure $\delta$, the classical double $D(sl(n,\mathbb{F}),\delta)$ is isomorphic to $sl(n,\mathbb{F})\otimes_{\mathbb{F}} A$, where $A$ is either $\mathbb{F}[\varepsilon]$, with $\varepsilon^{2}=0$, or $\mathbb{F}\oplus \mathbb{F}$ or a quadratic field extension of $\mathbb{F}$. In the first case, the classification leads to quasi-Frobenius Lie subalgebras of $sl(n,\mathbb{F})$. In the second and third cases, a Belavin--Drinfeld cohomology can be introduced which enables one to classify Lie bialgebras on $sl(n,\mathbb{F})$, up to gauge equivalence. The Belavin--Drinfeld untwisted and twisted cohomology sets associated to an $r$-matrix are computed. For the Cremmer--Gervais $r$-matrix in $sl(3)$, we also construct a natural map of sets between the total Belavin--Drinfeld twisted cohomology set and the Brauer group of the field $\mathbb{F}$.
The present article is a continuation of QA/1303.4046, where we discussed the classification of quantum groups with quasi-classical limit $\mathfrak{g}$ and introduced a theory of Belavin-Drinfeld cohomology associated to any non-skewsymmetric $r$-matrix. Depending on the form of the corresponding double, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between gauge equivalence classes of Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}\otimes_{\mathbb{C}}\mathbb{K}$, where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}((\hbar))$, and untwisted or twisted cohomology classes. In the present paper we investigate twisted cohomologies for $sl(n)$ associated to generalized Cremmer-Gervais $r$-matrices, and twisted cohomologies for $o(n)$.
In the present article we discuss the classification of quantum groups whose quasi-classical limit is a given simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. This problem reduces to the classification of all Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}(\mathbb{K})$, where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}((\hbar))$. The associated classical double is of the form $\mathfrak{g}(\mathbb{K})\otimes_{\mathbb{K}} A$, where $A$ is one of the following: $\mathbb{K}[\epsilon]$, where $\epsilon^{2}=0$, $\mathbb{K}\oplus \mathbb{K}$ or $\mathbb{K}[j]$ where $j^{2}=\hbar$. The first case relates to quasi-Frobenius Lie algebras. In the second and third cases we introduce a theory of Belavin-Drinfeld cohomology associated to any non-skewsymmetric $r$-matrix from the Belavin-Drinfeld list. We prove a one-to-one correspondence between gauge equivalence classes of Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}(\mathbb{K})$ and cohomology classes (in case II) and twisted cohomology classes (in case III) associated to any non-skewsymmetric $r$-matrix.
The present paper is a continuation of [5], where Lie bialgebra structures on g[u] were studied. These structures fall into different classes labelled by the vertices of the extended Dynkin diagram of g. In [5] the Lie bialgebras corresponding to the maximal root were classified. In the present article, we investigate the Lie bialgebras corresponding to an arbitrary simple root.
For a finite dimensional simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}[[u]]$ and $\mathfrak{g}[u]$ were classified by Montaner, Stolin and Zelmanov. In our paper, we provide an explicit algorithm to produce $r$-matrices which correspond to Lie bialgebra structures over polynomials.
It was proved by Montaner and Zelmanov that up to classical twisting Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}[u]$ fall into four classes. Here $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra. It turns out that classical twists within one of these four classes are in a one-to-one correspondence with the so-called quasi-trigonometric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. In this paper we give a complete list of the quasi-trigonometric solutions in terms of sub-diagrams of the certain Dynkin diagrams related to $\mathfrak{g}$. We also explain how to quantize the corresponding Lie bialgebra structures.
