Abstract

We introduce and define the quantum affine (mn)(m|n)-superspace (or say quantum Manin superspace) AqmnA_q^{m|n} and its dual object, the quantum Grassmann superalgebra Ωq(mn)\Omega_q(m|n). Correspondingly, a quantum Weyl algebra Wq(2(mn))\mathcal W_q(2(m|n)) of (mn)(m|n)-type is introduced as the quantum differential operators (QDO for short) algebra Diffq(Ωq)\textrm{Diff}_q(\Omega_q) defined over Ωq(mn)\Omega_q(m|n), which is a smash product of the quantum differential Hopf algebra Dq(mn)\mathfrak D_q(m|n) (isomorphic to the bosonization of the quantum Manin superspace) and the quantum Grassmann superalgebra Ωq(mn)\Omega_q(m|n). An interested point of this approach here is that even though Wq(2(mn))\mathcal W_q(2(m|n)) itself is in general no longer a Hopf algebra, so are some interesting sub-quotients existed inside. This point of view gives us one of main expected results, that is, the quantum (restricted) Grassmann superalgebra Ωq\Omega_q is made into the Uq(g)\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak g)-module (super)algebra structure,Ωq=Ωq(mn)\Omega_q=\Omega_q(m|n) for qq generic, or Ωq(mn,1)\Omega_q(m|n, \bold 1) for qq root of unity, and g=gl(mn)\mathfrak g=\mathfrak{gl}(m|n) or sl(mn)\mathfrak {sl}(m|n), the general or special linear Lie superalgebra. This QDO approach provides us with explicit realization models for some simple Uq(g)\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak g)-modules, together with the concrete information on their dimensions. Similar results hold for the quantum dual Grassmann superalgebra Ωq!\Omega_q^! as Uq(g)\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak g)-module algebra.In the paper some examples of pointed Hopf algebras can arise from the QDOs, whose idea is an expansion of the spirit noted by Manin in \cite{Ma}, \& \cite{Ma1}.
