Abstract

We describe new qq-deformations of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra, the simple Lie algebra sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 and the Witt algebra. They are constructed through a realization as differential operators. These operators are related to the modular group and qq-deformed rational numbers defined by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko and lead to qq-deformed M\"obius transformations acting on the hyperbolic plane.
