The realization is
where is a small/formal parameter and
We calculate
As we know that (and are central), then
Act with on to obtain
(or in the matrix form
where the argument of is and the initial condition is
For we clearly have the solution . For , the matrix substitution to get simply the homogeneous matrix equation (here is a scalar, and are -matrices and denotes the matrix product) with the initial condition i.e. . This is now much easier than the one with the transpose I had before.
To relate it to known examples, one sees that the equation in this case, without the transpose, do not mix different -s, so one has independent systems, one for each (what is not the case in 1 where we had a transpose).
So for a fixed , call (for emphasis) and we have simply
what is in a rather standard form for homogeneous systems of first order ODEs with standard exponential matrix solution.
Thus the formal solution is
i.e. . where is the matrix exponential.
Now this, with gives, in matrix form,
hence
Note that and are constant matrices and , are scalars. For we have and for small we have , agreeing with (i.e. with continuous limit to) result .
To get the coproduct, one needs to find , where is the inverse of the function , and denotes the function calculated above with and as above. In our case, we need to invert
what gives where we symbolically use the matrix logarithm. Thus we obtain
what gives a simple quadratic coproduct by the correspondence between and given in entry coproduct from exponentials. So (up to some rescaling of by or so which I am not careful now)
with sum over repeated indices and are the dual variables to and are interpreted as partial derivatives with respect to commutative . The Kronecker delta is denoted . Introduce a new matrix quantity by the formula
Then
and for the matrix one has
Now one defines by
Then if is the undeformed coproduct on (primitive on all partial derivatives) then we claim that the coproduct written above is
To see this one expands the exponents by the Hadamard’s formula for ad
what gives for (for the other summand just observe that commutes with as has only derivatives so it commutes with )
because, inductively on , one sees that
what equals
Now sum up over and notice that , hence
and thus the final result is
as claimed.
It follows also that
and, hence, for the and (understood as formal power series in ), also and is primitive
We will write below the proof that also satisfies the equation for the Drinfel’d cocycle
where is in the sense of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of vector fields on the dual of the Lie algebra i. e. primitive on vector fields of the form .
The key is in the factorization property
which can be directly checked using the fact that is primitive for and primitive for , and expanding the exponential series.
Using the factorization property, both sides of the cocycle equation become
