As the first step towards a classification of simple weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over Witt algebras Wn, we explicitly describe the supports of such modules. We also obtain some descriptions of the support of an arbitrary simple weight module over a ℤn-graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ having a root space decomposition $\smash{\bigoplus_{\alpha\in\mathbb{Z}^n}\mathfrak{g}_\alpha}$ with respect to the abelian subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}_0$, with the property $\smash{[\mathfrak{g}_\alpha,\mathfrak{g}_\beta] = \mathfrak{g}_{\alpha+\beta}}$ for all α, β ∈ ℤn, α ≠ β (this class contains the algebra Wn).

In this paper, we explicitly determine the derivation algebra, automorphism group of quasi Qn-filiform Lie algebras, and by applying some properties of the root space decomposition, we obtain their isomorphism theorem.

We introduce a quasitriangular Hopf algebra or ‘quantum group’ U(B), the double-bosonization, associated to every braided group B in the category of H-modules over a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H, such that B appears as the ‘positive root space’, H as the ‘Cartan subalgebra’ and the dual braided group B* as the ‘negative root space’ of U(B). The choice B=Uq(n+) recovers Lusztig's construction of Uq(g); other choices give more novel quantum groups. As an application, our construction provides a canonical way of building up quantum groups from smaller ones by repeatedly extending their positive and negative root spaces by linear braided groups; we explicitly construct Uq(sl3) from Uq(sl2) by this method, extending it by the quantum-braided plane. We provide a fundamental representation of U(B) in B. A projection from the quantum double, a theory of double biproducts and a Tannaka–Krein reconstruction point of view are also provided.
