Let s and t be two positive integers. The Weyl superalgebra , denoted by W(s, t), is generated by the annihilation and creation operators of s Bose and t Fermi oscillators . The q-deformation W q (s, t) of W(s, t) is obtained by introducing the quantum analogues of these oscillators. [1]
The annihilation, creation and number operators b i , and N i , i = 1,..., s, of bosonic q-oscillators are taken to satisfy,
and for i ≠j
with parity p(b i ) = p = p(N i ) = 0.
Similarly, the annihilation, creation and number operators, Ψ i , and M i , i = 1,..., t, of fermionic q-oscillators are defined through
and for i ≠j,
with p(Ψ i ) = p() = 1, p(M i ) = 0, and {x, y} = xy + yx. It is further assumed that bosonic and fermionic operators commute,
The algebra W q (s, t) generated by the operators b i , , N i , i = 1,..., s, and Ψ j , , M j , j = 1,..., t, subjected to above conditions, is referred to as q-analogue of the...
