Some topics on the $Z_3$-graded exterior algebras

Abstract

A $Z_3$-graded Hopf algebra structure of exterior algebra with two generators is introduced. Two covariant differential calculus on the $Z_3$-graded exterior algebra are presented. Using the generators and their partial derivatives a Grassmann-Heisenberg algebra is constructed. An R-matrix which satisfies graded Yang-Baxter equations is obtained. A $Z_3$-graded universal enveloping algebra $U_q(\widetilde{gl}(2))$ is constructed with the quadratic elements of the Grassmann-Weyl algebra.
