Internationa! Atomic Energy Agency Explicit expressions for the generators of the quantum Mipcralgrliirt U^\gi{n jut)) acting and on a class of irreducible representations are given, The class under consideration consists United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization of all essentially typical representations: for these be satisfied is shown to reduce to a set of ^-number identities.

2 The Lie superalgebra gl(njm) and Gel'fand-Zetlin patterns

The Lie superalgebra G — j/(n/m) can be defined [Ifi, 28] througli its natural matrix realization

1 Introduction H gl{n/m)^{T- ( ^ n ]|.4fAlrIniJJt:WB,,1,('t.«,,l,,,l)€.W,,,«), (i) This paper is devoted to the study of a class of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum superalgebra (•',[gl(n/m)\ The main goa! is to present explicit actions of the Uj[gt(n/m)] where Afpl, is the space of all p x i/ complex matrices. The even suhalgehra i//(>i/>n)n has if = 0 and generating elements acting on a Gel'fand-Zetlin-like basis, and to discuss some of the

tions related to the Yang-Baxter equation [15], have now become an important and widely used concept where (t,£* £ {0,1} = Z3 If
