Representation Theory of Quantized Enveloping Algebras with Interpolating Real Structure

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a compact simple Lie algebra. We modify the quantized enveloping ${}^{\ast }$-algebra associated to $\mathfrak{g}$ by a real-valued character on the positive part of the root lattice. We study the ensuing Verma module theory, and the associated quotients of these modified quantized enveloping ${}^{\ast }$-algebras. Restricting to the locally finite part by means of a natural adjoint action, we obtain in particular examples of quantum homogeneous spaces in the operator algebraic setting.
