The cyclic representations of the quantum superalgebra U q osp(2, 1) withq a root of unity

By generalizing De Concini and Kac's cyclic representation theory of quantum groups at roots of unity, the cyclic representations of the quantum superalgebra U _q osp(2, 1) are constructed in three classes: irreducible representations with single multiplicities, irreducible representations with the multiplicities larger than one, and indecomposable representations.This work is supported in part by the National Sciene Foundation in China.
