A q-deformation of the parastatistics and an alternative to the Chevalley description of $U_q[osp(2n+1/2m)]$

Abstract

The paper contains essentially two new results. Physically, a deformation of the parastatistics in a sense of quantum groups is carried out. Mathematically, an alternative to the Chevalley description of the quantum orthosymplectic superalgebra U_q[osp(2n+1/2m)] in terms of $m$ pairs of deformed parabosons and $n$ pairs of deformed parafermions is outlined.
