Representations of $SO(5)_{q}$ can be constructed on bases such that either the Chevalley triplet $(e_{1},\;f_{1},\;h_{1})$ or $(e_{2},\;f_{2},\;h_{2})$ has the standard $SU(2)_{q}$ matrix elements. The other triplet in each cases has a…

The $q$-calculus for generic $q$ is developed and related to the deformed oscillator of parameter $q^{1/2}$. By passing with care to the limit in which $q$ is a root of unity, one uncovers the full algebraic structure of ${{\cal…

A multi-shell generalization of a fermion representation of the q-deformed compact symplectic sp_q(4) algebra is introduced. An analytic form for the action of two or more generators of the Sp_q(4) symmetry on the basis states is determined…
Deformations of the Lie algebras so(4), so(3,1), and e(3) that leave their so(3) subalgebra undeformed and preserve their coset structure are considered. It is shown that such deformed algebras are associative for any choice of the…
An algebra homomorphism $\psi$ from the nonstandard q-deformed (cyclically symmetric) algebra $U_q(so_3)$ to the extension ${\hat U}_q(sl_2)$ of the Hopf algebra $U_q(sl_2)$ is constructed. Not all irreducible representations of $U_q(sl_2)$…
We realize the Hopf algebra $U_{q^{-1}}(so(N))$ as an algebra of differential operators on the quantum Euclidean space ${\bf R}_q^N$. The generators are suitable q-deformed analogs of the angular momentum components on ordinary ${\bf R}^N$.…
Based on results for real deformation parameter q we introduce a compact non- commutative structure covariant under the quantum group SOq(3) for q being a root of unity. To match the algebra of the q-deformed operators with necesarry…
For generic $q$ we give expressions for the transformations of all essentially typical finite-dimensional modules of the Hopf superalgebra $U_q[gl(3/2)]$. The latter is a deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie…
A complete choice of generators of the center of the enveloping algebras of real quasi-simple Lie algebras of orthogonal type, for arbitrary dimension, is obtained in a unified setting. The results simultaneously include the well known…
A Hopf algebra with four generators among which an involution (reflection) operator, is introduced. The defining relations involve commutators and anticommutators. The discrete series representations are developed. Designated by…
The quantum rotor is shown to be supersymmetric. The supercharge $Q$, whose square equals the Hamiltonian, is constructed with reflection operators. The conserved quantities that commute with $Q$ form the algebra $so(3)_{-1}$, an…
Nonlinear $sl(2)$ algebras subtending generalized angular momentum theories are studied in terms of undeformed generators and bases. We construct their unitary irreducible representations in such a general context. The linear $sl(2)$-case…
We generalize the Goddard-Kent-Olive (GKO) coset construction to the dimension 5/2 operator for $ \hat{so} (5) $ and compute the fourth order Casimir invariant in the coset model $\hat{SO} (5)_{1} \times \hat{SO} (5)_{m} / \hat{SO}…
