New R-matrices for small quantum groups

In this article we construct a large family of $R$-matrices for various extensions of small quantum groups by grouplike elements. The extensions are in correspondence to lattices between root and weight lattice and admit $R$-matrices in many cases where the original small quantum group does not. The results of this work extends some results that are well-known for $u_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. Especially for $A_n$ a combinatorial theorem about roots of unity was necessary, which is interesting on its own, and has been proven in a separate paper [LN14].
