 Solution

Use $q\in k^{\times }$ and the quantum plane convention $yx=qxy$. In this convention $S{L}_q(2)$ is the coordinate Hopf algebra of quantum SL2 with the catalog parameter replaced by $q^{-1}$. It is generated by $a,b,c,d$, subject toEquivalently the last determinant relation is $da-qbc=1$. The quantum determinant convention is essential: these relations use the inverse of the parameter in the catalog's $ab=qba$ convention.

Writing $T=\left(\begin{array}{cc}a& b\\ c& d\end{array}\right)$, the comultiplication is matrix multiplication, $\Delta t_{ij}={\sum }_k{t}_{ik}\otimes t_{kj}$. Explicitly,The counit is $\epsilon (a)=\epsilon (d)=1$, $\epsilon (b)=\epsilon (c)=0$. Extend $\Delta$ and $\epsilon$ as unital algebra homomorphisms over a field. Matrix multiplication is associative, giving coassociativity; multiplication by the identity matrix gives the counit laws. The antipode isFor example $(TS(T){)}_{11}=ad-q^{-1}bc=1$ and $(S(T)T{)}_{11}=da-qbc=1$, while the off-diagonal entries vanish by the commutation relations. Thus this is a Hopf algebra, not merely an algebra presentation.
