On the algebra A_{\hbar,\eta}(osp(2|2)^{(2)}) and free boson representations

Abstract

A two-parameter quantum deformation of the affine Lie super algebra $osp(2|2)^{(2)}$ is introduced and studied in some detail. This algebra is the first example associated with nonsimply-laced and twisted root systems of a quantum current algebra with the structure of a so-called infinite Hopf family of (super)algebras. A representation of this algebra at $c=1$ is realized in the product Fock space of two commuting sets of Heisenberg algebras.Comment: 14 pages, LaTe
