The <i>R</i>-matrix of quantum doubles of Nichols algebras of diagonal type

Abstract

Let H be the quantum double of a Nichols algebra of diagonal type. We compute the R-matrix of 3-tuples of modules for general finite-dimensional highest weight modules over H. We also calculate a multiplicative formula for the universal R-matrix when H is finite dimensional. We show the unicity of a PBW basis (or a Lusztig-type Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt basis) with a given convex order.
