Abstract

Any deformation of a Weyl or Clifford algebra A can be realized through a `deforming map', i.e. a formal change of generators in A. This is true in particular if A is covariant under a Lie algebra g and its deformation is induced by some triangular deformation UhgU_h g of the Hopf algebra UgUg. We propose a systematic method to construct all the corresponding deforming maps, together with the corresponding realizations of the action of UhgU_h g. The method is then generalized and explicitly applied to the case that UhgU_h g is the quantum group Uhsl(2)U_h sl(2). A preliminary study of the status of deforming maps at the representation level shows in particular that `deformed' Fock representations induced by a compact UhgU_h g can be interpreted as standard `undeformed' Fock representations describing particles with ordinary Bose or Fermi statistics.
