On Quantum Groups and Their Potential Use in Mathematical Chemistry
Abstract
The quantum algebra suq(2) is introduced as a deformation of the ordinary Lie algebra su(2). This is achieved in a simple way by making use of q-bosons. In connection with the quantum algebra suq(2), we discuss the q-analogues of the harmonic oscillator and the angular momentum. We also introduce q-analogues of the hydrogen atom by means of a q-deformation of the Pauli equations and of the so-called Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation.
