Abstract
Quantum groups are remarkable new mathematical structures of considerable current interest in both physics and mathematics. The origin, structure, representations and properties of quantum groups are reviewed with emphasis on q-group tensor operator algebra.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
