Representation of relations with orthogonality condition and their deformations (Q2850439)

The authors give a classification, up to unitary equivalence, of irreducible representations of a \(*\)-algebra \(A_q\) generated by the relations \(a_i^*a_i+a_ia_i^*=1\), \(i=1,2\); \(a_1^*a_2=qa_2a_1^*\), where \(q\in (0,1)\) is fixed. The case \(q=0\) is also (separately) considered. It is shown that the \(C^*\)-algebras \(\mathcal A_q^F\) and \(\mathcal A_0^F\) generated by operators of the Fock representations of \(A_q\) and \(A_0\) are isomorphic for any \(q\in (0,1)\). A realization of the universal \(C^*\)-algebra corresponding to the \(*\)-algebra \(A_0\) as an algebra of continuous operator-valued functions is also given.
