Quantum groups and quantization of Weyl group symmetries of Painlev\'e   systems
  We shall construct the quantized q-analogues of the birational Weyl group actions arising from nilpotent Poisson algebras, which are conceptual generalizations, proposed by Noumi and Yamada, of the B\"acklund transformations for Painlev\'e equations. Consider a quotient Ore domain of the lower nilpotent part of a quantized universal enveloping algebra of arbitrary symmetrizable Kac-Moody type. Then non-integral powers of the image of the Chevalley generators generate the quantized q-analogue of the birational Weyl group action. Using the same method, we shall reconstruct the quantized B\"acklund transformations of q-Painlev\'e equations constructed by Hasegawa. We shall also prove that any subquotient integral domain of a quantized universal enveloping algebra of finite or affine type is an Ore domain.
