We study the prime ideal spaces of the quantized function algebras Rq [G], for G a semisimple Lie group and q an indeterminate. Our method is to examine the structure of algebras satisfying a set of seven hypotheses, and then to demonstrate, using work of Joseph, Hodges and Levasseur, that the algebras Rq [G] satisfy this list of assumptions. Rings satisfying the assumptions are shown to satisfy normal separation, and therefore Jategaonkar's strong second layer condition. For such rings much representation-theoretic information is carried by the graph of links of the prime spectrum, and so we proceed to a detailed study of the prime links of algebras satisfying the list of assumptions. Homogeneity is a key feature it is proved that the clique of any prime ideal coincides with its orbit under a finite rank free abelian group of automorphisms. Bounds on the ranks of these groups are obtained in the case of Rq [G]. In the final section the results are specialized to the case G = SLn (C), where detailed calculations can be used to illustrate the general results. As a preliminary set of examples we show also that the multiparameter quantum coordinate rings of affine n-space satisfy our axiom scheme when the group generated by the parameters is torsionfree. 0. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 0.1. Let P and Q be prime ideals of a noetherian ring R. We say that P is linked to Q, and write P -*Q, if there is an ideal A of R with PQ C A c P n Q such that (P n Q)/A is a nonzero torsionfree left (R/P)-module and a torsionfree right (R/Q)-module. This condition can be simplified in case R satisfies the second layer condition (see below). In that case, P -* Q if and only if (P n Q)/PQ is faithful as a left (R/P)-module and as a right (R/Q)-module [39; 10, 1.4]. The graph of links of R is the directed graph whose vertices are the points of spec R (the set of prime ideals of R), with a directed edge from P to Q if and only if P -* Q. The primes in the connected component of the graph of links containing P constitute the clique of P, denoted clique(P). There is a close connection between the graph of links of R and the representation theory of R (cf. [20], [4]); this connection is particularly strong when R satisfies the strong second layer condition, which requires that, whenever U is a cyclic uniform R-module with the annihilator Received by the editors November 4, 1994 and, in revised form, September 5, 1995. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Part of the work was carried out while he visited the University of Glasgow Mathematics Department during October 1993, supported by the Edinburgh and London Mathematical Societies. Work on a revised version of the paper was completed in summer 1995 during a visit by both authors to the Department of Mathematics of the University of Washington, whom both thank for its hospitality.
