Abstract
Aq-difference analogue of the universal enveloping algebra U(g) of a simple Lie algebra g is introduced. Its structure and representations are studied in the simplest case g=sl(2). It is then applied to determine the eigenvalues of the trigonometric solution of the Yang-Baxter equation related to sl(2) in an arbitrary finite-dimensional irreducible representation.
