Abstract

Based on the quantum superspace construction of q-deformed algebra, we discuss a supersymmetric extension of the deformed Virasoro algebra, which is a subset of the q-W∞ algebra recently appeared in the context of two-dimensional string theory. We analyze two types of deformed super-Virasoro algebra as well as their osp(1,2) subalgebras. Applying our quantum superspace structure to conformal field theory, we find the same type of deformation of affine sl(2) algebra.
