Quantum enveloping algebra action on the quantum plane ($E(x^r{y}^s)=[s{]}_q{x}^{r+1}{y}^{s-1}$)

For $yx=qxy$, the quantum enveloping algebra of sl2 acts by $K(x^r{y}^s)=q^{r-s}{x}^r{y}^s$, $E(x^r{y}^s)=[s{]}_q{x}^{r+1}{y}^{s-1}$ and $F(x^r{y}^s)=[r{]}_q{x}^{r-1}{y}^{s+1}$. Negative exponents here have zero coefficients and are omitted. The quantum integer identity $[r][s+1]-[s][r+1]=[r-s]$ verifies the commutator. These operations preserve total degree and make the quantum plane a module algebra.

At a primitive cube root of unity, the cubic homogeneous module has basis $x^3,x^{2}y,x{y}^2,y^3$. Its only simple modules occurring as submodules are the one-dimensional subspaces of $⟨x^3,y^3⟩$, on which $K=1$ and $E=F=0$. Its quotient by this two-dimensional submodule is simple, but it has no simple complement: any lift of the highest $K$ weight space contains $x^{2}y$, whose $E$ image is $x^3\ne 0$. Thus the cubic module is not a semisimple module.
