The quantum divided power algebra of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra of diagonal type

Abstract: Let $\mathcal{B}\mathfrak{q}$ be a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra of diagonal type corresponding to a matrix $\mathfrak{q}$. We consider the graded dual $\mathcal{L}{\mathfrak{q}}$ of the distinguished pre-Nichols algebra $\widetilde{\mathcal{B}}{\mathfrak{q}}$ from [A3] and the divided powers algebra $\mathcal{U}{\mathfrak{q}}$, a suitable Drinfeld double of $\mathcal{L}{\mathfrak{q}} # \mathbf{k} \mathbb{Z}^{\theta}$. We provide basis and presentations by generators and relations of $\mathcal{L}{\mathfrak{q}}$ and $\mathcal{U}_{\mathfrak{q}}$, and prove that they are noetherian and have finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.
