Title: The adjoint representation of quantum algebra $U_q(\mathrm{sl}(2))$
Abstract: (spoluautoři: O. Navrátil and S. Pošta)
Starting from any representation of the Lie algebra g on the infinite dimensional vector space $V$ we can construct the representation on space $\mathrm{Aut}(V)$. These representations are of the type ad. That is one of the reason, why it is important to study the adjoint representation of the Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ on the universal enveloping algebra $U({\mathfrak g})$. A similar situation is for the quantum groups $U_q({\mathfrak g})$. In this paper we study the adjoint representation for the simplest quantum algebra $U_q(\mathrm{sl}(2))$ in the case that $q$ is not a root of unity.
