Quantization of coboundary Lie bialgebras

Abstract

We show that any coboundary Lie bialgebra can be quantized. For this, we prove that Etingof-Kazhdan quantization functors are compatible with Lie bialgebra twists, and if such a quantization functor corresponds to an even associator, then it is also compatible with the operation of taking coopposites. We also use the relation between the Etingof-Kazhdan construction of quantization functors and the alternative approach to this problem, which was established in a previous work.
