Keep the size of the tarfile to a minimum by excluding files that can be recreated from files contained in the tarfile. Examples are: .o (object) files that can be recreated by compiling the program source code.dvi files produced by processing TeX and LaTeX source files.ps (postscript) files generated by drawing and publishing packages. After you have created a tarfile, you can then reduce its size by using the compress command. ... This will create a file called project.tar.Z . ...

... In this talk we establish the following relation between the categories of representations of the two algebras: we show that the category of modules over the small quantum group is naturally equivalent to the category of modules over the big quantum group, which have a so called Hecke eigen-property with respect to representations lifted by means of the quantum Frobenius map from the category of representations of the Langlands dual Lie algebra. ...
