A finite-dimensional matrix representation of the Jackson $q$-differential operator $D_q$, defined by $D_qf(x)$ $=$ $(f(qx)-f(x))/(x(q-1))$, is written down following Calogero. Such a representation of $D_q$ should have applications in $q$-analysis leading to the corresponding extensions of the numerous results of Calogero's work.
Using the Fronsdal-Galindo formula for the exponential mapping from the quantum algebra $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ to the quantum group $GL_{p,q}(2)$, we show how the $(2j+1)$-dimensional representations of $GL_{p,q}(2)$ can be obtained by `exponentiating' the well-known $(2j+1)$-dimensional representations of $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ for $j$ $=$ $1,{3/2},... $; $j$ $=$ 1/2 corresponds to the defining 2-dimensional $T$-matrix. The earlier results on the finite-dimensional representations of $GL_q(2)$ and $SL_q(2)$ (or $SU_q(2)$) are obtained when $p$ $=$ $q$. Representations of $U_{\bar{q},q}(2)$ $(q$ $\in$ $\C \backslash \R$ and $U_q(2)$ $(q$ $\in$ $\R \backslash \{0\})$ are also considered. The structure of the Clebsch-Gordan matrix for $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ is studied. The same Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are applicable in the reduction of the direct product representations of the quantum group $GL_{p,q}(2)$.
A quantum algebra $U_{p,q}(ζ,H,X_\pm )$ associated with a nonstandard $R$-matrix with two deformation parameters$(p,q)$ is studied and, in particular, its universal ${\cal R}$-matrix is derived using Reshetikhin's method. Explicit construction of the $(p,q)$-dependent nonstandard $R$-matrix is obtained through a coloured generalized boson realization of the universal ${\cal R}$-matrix of the standard $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ corresponding to a nongeneric case. General finite dimensional coloured representation of the universal ${\cal R}$-matrix of $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ is also derived. This representation, in nongeneric cases, becomes a source for various $(p,q)$-dependent nonstandard $R$-matrices. Superization of $U_{p,q}(ζ, H,X_\pm )$ leads to the super-Hopf algebra $U_{p,q}(gl(1|1))$. A contraction procedure then yields a $(p,q)$-deformed super-Heisenberg algebra $U_{p,q}(sh(1))$ and its universal ${\cal R}$-matrix.
We consider the algebra $R$ generated by three elements $A,B,H$ subject to three relations $[H,A]=A$, $[H,B]=-B$ and $\{A,B\}=f(H)$. When $f(H)=H$ this coincides with the Lie superalgebra $osp(1/2)$; when $f$ is a polynomial we speak of polynomial deformations of $osp(1/2)$. Irreducible representations of $R$ are described, and in the case $°(f)\leq 2$ we obtain a complete classification, showing some similarities but also some interesting differences with the usual $osp(1/2)$ representations. The relation with deformed oscillator algebras is discussed, leading to the interpretation of $R$ as a generalized paraboson algebra.
Using the technique developed by Fronsdal and Galindo (Lett. Math. Phys. 27 (1993) 57) for studying the Hopf duality between the quantum algebras $Fun_{p,q}(GL(2))$ and $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$, the Hopf structure of $U_{p,q}(gl(1|1))$, dual to $Fun_{p,q}(GL(1|1))$, is derived and the corresponding universal ${\cal T}$-matrix of $Fun_{p,q}(GL(1|1))$, embodying the suitably modified exponential relationship $U_{p,q}(gl(1|1))$ $\rightarrow$ $Fun_{p,q}(GL(1|1))$, is obtained.
