Some remarks on quantized Lie superalgebras of classical type

In this paper we use the Etingof–Kazhdan quantization of Lie bi-superalgebras to investigate some interesting questions related to Drinfeld–Jimbo type superalgebra associated to a Lie superalgebra of classical type. It has been shown that the D-J type superalgebra associated to a Lie superalgebra of type A-G, with the distinguished Cartan matrix, is isomorphic to the E-K quantization of the Lie superalgebra. The first main result in the present paper is to extend this to arbitrary Cartan matrices. This paper also contains two other main results: (1) a theorem stating that all highest weight modules of a Lie superalgebra of type A-G can be deformed to modules over the corresponding D-J type superalgebra and (2) a super version of the Drinfeld–Kohno theorem.
