%0 Journal Article %T The centre of quantum sl_n at a root of unity %A Rudolf Tange %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %X It is proved that the centre Z of the simply connected quantised universal enveloping algebra over C, U_{\e,P}(sl_n), \e a primitive l-th root of unity, l an odd integer >1, has a rational field of fractions. Furthermore it is proved that if l is a power of an odd prime, Z is a unique factorisation domain. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0511628v1
