Formal multiparameter quantum groups, deformations and specializations
This paper introduces formal multiparameter quantum universal enveloping algebras (FoMpQUEA) as a generalization of Drinfeld's quantum groups, demonstrating that they are closed under toral twists and 2-cocycle deformations, establish a bijective correspondence with multiparameter Lie bialgebras via quantization and semiclassical limits, and prove that specialization and deformation processes commute.
