A QUADRATIC DEFORMATION OF THE HEISENBERG–WEYL AND QUANTUM OSCILLATOR ENVELOPING ALGEBRAS

Abstract

A new two-parameter quadratic deformation of the quantum oscillator algebra and its one-parameter deformed Heisenberg subalgebra are considered. An infinite-dimensional Fock module representation is presented, which at roots of unity contains singular vectors and so is reducible to a finite-dimensional representation. The semicyclic, nilpotent and unitary representations are discussed. Witten's deformation of sl 2 and some deformed infinite-dimensional algebras are constructed from the 1d Heisenberg algebra generators. The deformation of the centerless Virasoro algebra at roots of unity is mentioned. Finally the SL q(2) symmetry of the deformed Heisenberg algebra is explicitly constructed.
