A classification of finite-dimensional irreducible representations on complex vector spaces of nonstandard \(q\)-deformation \(U_q'(\text{so}_n)\) of the universal enveloping algebra \(U(\text{so}(n,\mathbb{C}))\) of the Lie algebra \(\text{so}(n,C)\) (which does not coincide with the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantized universal enveloping algebra \(U_q(\text{so}_n)\)) is given for the case where \(q\) is not a root of unity. The author shows that in this case all irreducible finite-dimensional representations of \(U_q'(\text{so}_n)\) are exhausted by representations of the classical and nonclassical types. Examples of the algebras \(U_q'(\text{so}_3)\) and \(U_q'(\text{so}_4)\) are presented. The notions of weights, highest weights, highest weight vectors and raising and lowering operators for irreducible finite-dimensional representations of \(U_q'(\text{so}_n)\) are introduced in the work. Explicit formulas for these operators are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0989.00035].
