If $G$ has a compact real form $K$, one can use the Cartan involution to give a $*$-structure on $\mathcal{O}(G_q)$. The QFA $\mathcal{O}(G_q)$ with this $*$ structure is denoted by $\mathcal{O}(K_q)$ and its $C^*$-completion by $C(K_q)$. Here we study the crystal limits of $\mathcal{O}(SU_q(n+1))$ and $C(SU_q(n+1))$ and classify all irreducible representations of the crystallized algebras. We also prove that the crystallized algebra carries a natural bialgebra structure UR - https://dspace.isical.ac.in/jspui/handle/10263/7553 ER -
